Latin Jazz… and then some! A monster 2 hour session, with some very groovy tunes, this jazzcast reminds me of the garden parties my parents used to give in the 70s, if only they had been pot smoking hippies ;-) Some dance floor killers, some cocktail fillers and something for the ladies, it’s all good! Enjoy…

Wow!!! Well it’s “my birthday” so i can play what i want to… and i’ve been waiting to do this session since day one of Explorations. For me Lonnie Liston Smith is “da Man” ;-) and the Cosmic Echoes too…
I will never forget the first time i heard ‘Expansions’ on the dancefloor and how it took me to another space, a warm and spiritual place - this supremely-soulful-cosmic-jazz-funk dancefloor killer that hooks you in from the get go!!! I found my first copy of this tune on 7″ vinyl, and the rest followed… the “Expansions” album is superb too, as with most of his 70’s albums. But for me, “Visions Of A New World” is my favourite album (which i found for 8 Shekels while record shopping in Sheinkin), which came out after “Expansions” in the same year 1975. But hey, listen to this jazzcast then seek them all out…
“I hope that every man, woman and child will soon realize that the planet Earth is one big country. We need to stop all wars, stop all pollution of the land and water and the destruction of the beautiful rain forests. We need to grow all of our food on Earth organically. Imagine the world as one, living in peace and harmony.”
Lonnie Liston Smith (The Cosmic Prince) 1998, Transformation album.

A Jazz session, the sixties part one… this sweet decade is full of so many great jazz juice flavours that we need to have a few sessions flowing on from this. With this first part we travel from ‘60 to ‘65 with just a few sweet examples and a few gems for good measure! Mainly Blue Note here in this 2 hour set!!! Enjoy and seek them out…

NuJazz session with a very Jazz flava… some of these tracks i have discovered are available on compilations, which says alot about the quality of these tracks, nujazz classics already!!! I do get goose bumps (chicken skin) listening to some of these tracks, they oouze with quality production and authenticity and that certain jazz hook that just gets me every time. Notably DJ Cam’s ‘Summer In Paris’ and Nicola Conte & Gianluca Petrella’s ‘New Standards’. It’s all good, enjoy and seek them out…

I’m feeling melancholic… so this is the melancholic exposé session!!!
Those nice peeps over at Candid Records kindly sent in a bunch of albums to Explorations in jazz… and with their 2007 festival just around the corner i felt it was most appropriate to pick some of Candid’s quality talent for your ears right now!!! And although this is a melancholic session, these albums are anything but sad, and they can all be found at Candid Records store. What really stands out for me is the Geoff Gascoyne album ‘Keep It To Yourself’! Also notable are the beautiful Mishka Adams, Gustavo Marques & Pororocas and Stacey Kent ;-) So switch the lights down low, light some candles, pour yourself a large glass of fine wine and let this session take you on a journey to that melancholic shore we all visit occasionally in life, enjoy…
