VIDEO: Caractacus the Conga Conqueror and the Afro Latin Ensemble Live at The Shoreditch, July 17th 2011
Caractacus the Conga Conqueror brought his Afro Latin Ensemble back to The Jazz Meet this past Sunday for an extended play after their very serious session at The Shoreditch last month. For a change we had a full day of live music as a trio from the Afro Latin Ensemble namely Miles Danso (Double Bass), Frank Williams (Sax) and the legendary Richard Bailey (Drums) joined our very own Jessica Lauren for an impromptu quartet set prior to the main event. Here are a few highlights from the day that we captured on the trusty Flip Camera. Enjoy and look out for a very special gig in August at a new venue.

Podcast #26: 14.07.11 Jarred Rice Live at The Jazz Meet
Lot’s of confusion this week, but here’s our next podcast. This was meant to be a recording of Jarred from this past Sunday’s Meet but as we listened back, it didn’t feature any of the music played(!). As it turn’s out, what we have here is still a set from Jarred but one from a month ago. Luckily though, we soon realised that this is probably one of the best (and funkiest) mixes we’ve ever captured. No tracklist yet as a month later he can’t work it all out (He really has one of the most obtuse and eclectic record collections we’ve ever witnessed) so for now join us on this magical mystery tour of rare jazz business and we promise to fill in the blanks bit by bit as we find them.
This Sunday, we’ve got another Latin Jazz special with the mighty all-star lineup of Caractacus the Conga Conqueror and his Afro Latin Ensemble. Believe us when we say there’s some serious history and talent in this band. For more info, check our website or Facebook page. Thanks for listening
