As we gear up to say goodbye to Jazz Meet resident Jarred Rice this weekend as he heads off to pastures new in Canada, we thought now would be a great time to revisit this little Jazz Mix he completed for the ‘Stolen Moments’ radio show on Melbourne’s 3RR earlier this year. It’s quite probably the funkiest mixtape we’ve ever hosted and highlights just why we hold Jarred in such high regard. A cursory look at the tracklist suggests not your usual jazz fare and with just under an hour of music to discover, he most certainly takes us on a journey through the crates. There’s breaks and basslines a plenty as Jarred pulls out seldom seen tracks from the likes of Affirmation, Earl Moseley, Gas Mask and Shades of Joy to name but a few, including fusion, funk, and a little rock along the way. So delve in and let us know what you think, and of course if you would like to join us at Floripa this Sunday to raise a glass to the man himself you know where we are!

The Jazz Meet heads to Brussels this weekend for a Saturday night party in the heart of the city alongside our good friend The Jazz Kid and live acts Binti and Gratitude Trio.Â
We are very pleased to be hopping on a Eurostar this weekend to present our first overseas Jazz Meet affiliated event on mainland Europe. This Saturday at Cafe Bonnefooi in Brussels, Jazz Meet residents Jarred and Rob will be making the trip to spin records with our Belgian friend The Jazz Kid as we present a little evening of jazz fuelled fun in the centre of town, and the city brings its own annual three-day Jazz Marathon to a close. Also on the bill are two live acts, Binti and Gratitude Trio who will both be performing live on the night.
The six singing Holail siblings, who are collectively known as Binti, grew up with music around them, so it was only a matter of time before they took up the craft themselves and as sisters, they take vocal harmony to a new emotional and spiritual level. With a repertoire that takes in elements of jazz, blues, soul and reggae, and six different voices that ultimately combine to bring one complete sound, we have to say we are very much looking forward to seeing them in action.
From Midnight, when all the other Jazz Marathon concerts have finished, we welcome Gratitude Trio to the Bonnefooi stage for a special early morning jazz session. Led by renowned Belgian tenor saxophonist Jeroen Van Herzele and composed of Alfred Vilayleck on electric bass and Louis Favre on drums, the trio will be playing a set of modern contemporary jazz with a classic feel. One for the real jazz heads. Once the live sets are complete, all three DJs will take to the decks to run proceedings through till dawn with fiery jazz dance and Latin and Brazilian jazz music.
If you’re Brussels bound this weekend, we do hope you can make it. The night promises to be pretty special!
It took us a while but we finally got one of the other elusive members of the Jazz Meet team back behind the decks (we’re working on Sid honest!) and after a long lay off, it seems Mr Rice hasn’t lost any of his luster, delivering an effortlessly funky 60 minutes of vintage sounds. This one is straight down the line fire and kicking off with the mystical strains of Buddy Terry’s ‘Inner Peace’ before Wilbur Bascomb’s throbbing bass ignites, we head off into funky big band territory with Messrs Bellson, Humphrey, Manne and Bobo teaming up for the bombastic ‘Super Mellow’ and the St Francis Xavier University Jazz Ensemble dropping the swinging ‘F.M.’. Maynard Ferguson (‘L-Dopa’) and Peter Herbolzheimer (‘Corean Chick’) continue the funked up theme before we reach the scintillating ‘Bitchin’ from Mike Longo and Jarred rounds things off with a Horace Silver cover from Guido Basso and friends. Press play to enjoy a soulful and bumpy ride through some of the deepest crates in Hackney Central!
TRACKLIST
1. Buddy Terry – Inner Peace
2. The Drum Session – Super Mellow

4. Maynard Ferguson – L-Dopa

Podcast #94: 14.03.13 Jarred Rice by The Jazz Meet on Mixcloud
Jazz Meet resident Jarred Rice is back behind the tables for the 79th installment in our jazz mixtape series. If you’ve caught any of his previous mixes, you know the man doesn’t mess around with his selections, and we have more of the same on this 50 minute mix. He kicks things off with an amazing piece of new music from The Greg Foat Group featuring Matthew Halsall, forthcoming on Jazzman Records, before easing in with French chanteuse Brigitte Fontaine and The Art Ensemble of Chicago. There’s some ECM business from Art Lande And Rubisa Patrol, a little soul jazz from John Patton, and straight up sounds from The Brew Moore Quintet and Duke Pearson. Jarred rounds off the mix with the brilliant Albert Ayler and the emotive vocal stomper ‘Heart Love’, Pretty Purdie smashing it on drums.
Jarred joins Nik Weston behind the decks this Sunday as we welcome one of the UK’s renowned drummers Richard Spaven to the Floripa stage. We hope you can join us and as ever, thanks for listening!
