Podcast #135 25.09.14 Les Fisher

Posted on Leave a comment

Somethings never change. An unassuming Sendspace link. An email in the inbox with a track list with little comment. And then you download and press play. Yes anyone can compile a mixtape but there’s a line you cross when you’re able to select an almost forgotten bunch of gems (some completely un-Googleable) and create a vibe. We’re lucky to have hosted guest mixes from a number of people over the years but there are only a few that leave us scratching our heads. Les Fisher is one of those guys. Here you’ll find (we presume) rare (cos we can’t find it), privately pressed Jazz, Russian obscurities, funky flute and Latin sounds abound. Thank you Les and thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy this awesome selection as much as we do. TRACKLIST 1. Theatre West – Cool Out Your Mind 2. Oktava – Ateisiu Tylia Naktj 3. Baba Yaga

Podcast #132 01.09.14 Hironobu Jyounai (PRIMO)

Posted on Leave a comment

  A new mix for a new month, and it’s a fierce one from our Japanese compatriot Hironobu Jyounai (PRIMO) who drops in a 45 minute selection of furious jazz gems. Kicking things off with a seldom seen Japanese date from the pianist Mickey Tucker, the mood plunges further into jazz dance territory with Steve Grossman’s ‘Katonah’. The quite simply brilliant ‘Sun & Sin’ follows from the Tommy Koverhults Kvintett before we head to Japan for a quartet of killer tunes from the Takeo Moriyama Quartet, Hitoshi Okano, George Ohtsuka and String Band featuring Isao Suzuki. The tempo eases up a tad with the classic ‘Little B’s Poem’ from Ms Dee Dee Bridgewater before a fitting finale rears  its head from Kazuki Watanabe, Katsuhiko Kimura, Takao Okamura and a beautiful modal piece from Hidefumi Toki & The Super Jazz Trio! Certainly not your usual jazz fare, Hironobu-san digs deep! TRACKLIST
