Mashed Potato IV
Soulful jazziness perfect for a Sunday with JazzDJ (128Kbps)
Mashed Potato III
Here’s a gem of a set by yours truely JazzDJ, seriously smashed by this point!!! This session (part 2 of 3 that night), fuelled by a bottle of red wine and some glasses of cognac, finds JDJ getting obsessed with a particular soundbite and amusingly singing along to the last track… I cried with laughter listening back to this one! Still worth a listen (even at 64Kbps) just to give you an idea of what to expect… Peace.
Just in case you have not been able to tune in yet to our live monthly Mashed Potato sessions on Radio Nova Lujon. Mashed Potato: A live monthly broadcast from London and Berlin only on Radio Nova Lujon with JazzDJ & Mr Phipson the first Sunday of every month. These session’s just keep getting better… mash-ups of an eclectic funky-jazzy-baile-soulfull groove, who knows what will happen! With circa 100 listeners tallied so far from all over the world, this is becoming a regular night-in for people who just like to get mashed ;-)
the Life session… life is unusual, you never know what’s going to happen! No matter what your situation life affects us all! Just when you think you know life, it can kick you down to the ground, or lift you up to the heavens. With this eclectic session, a milestone jazzcast number 30, and as a special way of celebrating all of life’s downs and ups, I have picked out some tracks all with Life in the title. We have jazz, soul, samba, soundtrack, funk and disco in the mix. Unusual i know!!! This session begins with an ending and ends with a beginning… Read the rest of this entry »

Special “Sunset Boulevard†session… acknowledging the musical talent, genius and contribution of three Legends who have recently departed this world: James Brown, Alice Coltrane and Sivuca. With this 2 hour set we explore only some of this huge library of music they have left us, including tracks: from James Brown’s most funky albums “Hellâ€, “The Payback†and “In The Jungle Groove†with a little jazz and soul; from Alice Coltrane’s excellent “Eternity†and “Universal Consciousness†plus a live appearance with husband John on a 20 minute long version of “My Favourite Things†(wow hold on tight!); and from Sivuca’s “Rendez-vou a Rio†and self-titled album, including the jazz dance classic “Ain’t No Sunshineâ€, among others.
This is by no means a ‘best of’, other far in-depth dedicated sessions can be found among the jazz casters online scene. Check out Bending Corners for two very good sessions by the Godfather of Jazzcasters…
BIG Respect, many thanks and may you all Rest In Peace; James Brown, Alice Coltrane, Sivuca. Read the rest of this entry »
