Welcome to Eclectic Jazz.

These shows will be added each week along with the playlists.

There are some great clips on the videos page, it’s amazing what turning up on YouTube, here you’ll find an eclectic selection from old black & white footage to modern day quick cut-up edits. When the clip finishes you’ll see other related items, so you can explore further. More stuff can be seen by visiting The Eclectic Jazz YouTube page.

Strides/Kojato/MDcL/Napz/Yellowtail/Nostalgia77/Scrimshire

November 2011

The Strides Reclamation (Record Kicks)
Out of Australia The Strides deliver a refreshing blend of Afro-beat, Reggae, funky hip-hop and dubb-ness and Jazzy horn licks. Featuring vocals by reggae master Ras Roni from Trinidad via London and rising hip hop star from Fiji MC Lil Gzeus (Little Jesus) It’s great to hear different genres being infused to such good effect.

Kojato And The Afro Latin Cougaritas All About Jazz (Buyú Records)
Another amazing mix of styles expertly crafted for an audio delight.
Kojato consist of Kojo Ebenezer Samuaels, André Neundorf & Oliver Belz
Kojo now in his late 60s was originally from Liberia not only played with Afro-beat master Fele Kuti but also Avant-garde jazz pianist Cecil Taylor, that’s a potent combination of influences. A wealth of experience can be heard on this release. Brimming with afro-funk, bossa beats, jazz and a touch of Gypsy tinged retro-swing all delivered with a spirited vocal.

Mark de Clive-Lowe Renegades (Tru Thoughts)
I can’t stop playing this album, it has that extra special ‘something’ that isn’t always easy to explain. With his roots in straight ahead jazz and many years spent immersed in electronic/club music scene, Mark is a true innovator. It is his ability and understanding as a producer, composer, pianist and DJ that put him a cut above the rest. For this release his perfectly casted a great selection of vocalists; Omar, Sheila E, Bembé Segué, Nia Andrews and Tawiah all bringing their individual flavour, but across the tracks sounding like a well rehearsed team. The music ventures into future-soul/fusion, broken-beat, all fully textured, orchestral in parts, very danceable and highly enjoyable !

Napz Kalimba EP (Hiperbole Records)
Some lovely downbeat jazz vibes going here, from French producer Napz.
The opening track ‘Kalimba‘ Takes you on a dreamy journey with a lovely haunting vocal and space-out synth sounds. Following on with ‘Jazzbomb‘ sounding very filmic with occasional vocal snippets creating a slightly eerie feeling. My favourite track is ‘Ain’t Got Nobody‘ starting mellow with a very melodic vocal arrangement which soon gives away to more of an upbeat groove with some great keybs. finishing of this EP is‘Glossy Lipstick’ which is a jazzed out instrumental… Journey complete.

Yellowtail Back To The Melody EP (Bagpak)
A great 5 track Ep from Yellowtail featuring Eska on vocals. Soulful broken beat business
which will work great many clubs environments. Remixes come from Opolopo, Som do Matter (aka Greymatter), L’Aroye and Silverback plus the original. The remixes are very distinct from each other. Hard to pick a favourite but L’Aroye just pips it for me.

Nostalgia 77 Sleepwalker EP (True Thoughts)
‘Sleepwalker’ is the third single taken from Nostalgia 77s ‘The Sleepwalking Society’
Featuring the Bluesy-gospel vocal of Josa Peit and comes complete with remixes from Mark de Clive-Lowe, Lanu and Ambassadeurs. Ranging in style from sultry to upbeat and once inside your head its not easy to shake away !

Scrimshire The Hollow (Wah Wah 45s)
It was in 2008 that Scrimshire released his first full album ‘Along Came The Devil One Night’ at the time I wrote that it was a very mature sound and remember thing is this a one off, a fluke ? it does happen. Well it was definitely not a fluke, ‘The Hollow‘ proves Adam Scrimshire has a musical maturity that makes you think he has spent a life time making music. The composition are beautifully crafted and original featuring vocals from Stac, Faye Houston, Heidi Vogel and Inga Lill-Aker along with Scrimshire himself.
It’s mellow in parts and exotic in others. It all gels together well. The more I hear this the more I like it – give it try you won’t regret it.

Slow Motion Replay/Lack Of Afro/Miles Davis/The Baker Brothers

Soulab Records in France have a new batch of goodies out. First up is Slow Motion Replay ‘Heavy Duties’ a hip Japanese project consisting of Kenichi Yanai (from Soul Source Productions) Shinya Kusumoto and Takuya Ishibashi. Funky breaks, 70s fusions, Brazilian rhythms 60s be-bop, Soul, Hip-hop, nothing has been spared in producing this collection groovy mash-ups, be prepared for a journey through your record collection digging out the originals. This is fun stuff that has been well executed. next up is Isaac Aesili ‘Eye See’ beautifully crafted compositions, gentle in most part, dipping in and out of R&B and soulful flavors, Reggae rhythms and twisted Jazz. A rich tapestry of sound with some lovely haunting vocals weaving through the sweet electronics. the 3rd album of the batch is Weeland & The Urban Soul Collective ‘The Golden Session’  this is a cool release, a project led by Guitarist and songwriter Patrick Wieland, with various vocal tone and style sounding like a cross between D’Angelo and Victor Davies and touches of Lady Day. this is quality future soul, organic and superbly produced throughout.
Fresh from the Freestyle label is Lack Of Afro (Adam Gibbons) with a full release ‘This Time’  with a decidedly retro vibe, touching on various sounds; Soul, Northern, 70s funk, and 60s jazz and kich delivered with a strong understanding of the genres and performed with confidence which adds sparkle and fun to the proceedings.
Miles Davis Quintet – Live In Europe 1967: The Bootleg Series Vol. 1. At the time of writing I had not heard this set. but to be honest, it doesn’t matter, there are some life you can be very sure about, and the quintet of Miles, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams is one of them, One of the greatest quintets of all time, Between 1965 and 1968 produced, to this day some of the most innovative, creative and stimulating sounds around. To hear that such live recordings exists of this period is very welcome news. The package consists of 3 audio disks, a DVD and a 28 page booklet. And the good is this is part of a series, I can’twait to what lse is the pipeline.
Amerigo Gazaway ‘Fela Soul’ If someone had described to me that taking the acappellas of De La soul and music of Fela Kuti and combing them would produce something enjoyable, well I would have been rather skeptical. So full credits goes to Amerigo, for pulling this project off, it works ! Hear for yourself, you download all 8 tracks forfree over at http://gummysoul.com
The Baker Brothers have a new release out on the Record Kicks label entitled ‘Time To Testify’ A raucous selection of Jazzy Funked-up Soul, bursting with energy, and has it’s fair share of dance-floor movers. The sound has a very live feel to it, The baker Brothers have been releasing music now for ten years, and its shows, theres some great soloing and subtle instrumentation that set this apart from other releases of this style.
Loopez & Renegades Of Jazz ‘Jungle Haze EP’ out on Hiperbole Records. Jungle Haze is a quirky latin outing, exotic and enchanting, the remix come from Batsauce which is a cheeky dubbed out affair, Lapwing Strut, more latin spiced flavours, with some lovely Colubian sounding horns and guitar licks, remix here comes courtesy of Jugoe out of Chicago, adding more synth bass dubby-ness, it’s hard to keep still, play loud and enjoy !

Kaidi Tatham-Kaidi’s 5ive / Jazz Re:refreshed

A few words about Kadi Tatham, Broken Beat and Jazz re:fretted

Kadi Tataham (aka Agent K) is a multi-instrumentalist and producer. As a core member of Bugz In The Attic, as well as Neon Phusion and along side IG Culture with the Likwid Bizkit project. Kaidi has collocated with some of the most innovative and creative artists of the last decade; Zed Bias/Maddslinky, De Clive-Lowe, Nathan Haines and The Herbaliser amongst other, Placing him firmly in the vanguard of a musical movement widely known as Broken Beat or the sound of West London. A part of London that serves as a hub for this melting pot of talent. Emerging in the mid nineties from the influences of Drum & bass, House, Jazz, as well as Soul and Hip-hop, A new generation of music makers fusing all of the above to create a fresh and textured sound. But it is Jazz that runs deep in its veins, I feel that it is Kaidi’s keyboard playing that is in part responsible, adding that improvised style so often used to describe jazz and in particular Fusion. ‘In Search Of Hope‘ was Kaidi Tatham’s first full solo release, providing writer, performer and producer credits. came out in 2008 on the Japanese Freedom School label.

2011 sees the release of Kadie’s mini album on the Jazz re:freshed label, part of the jazz re:freshed 5ive series. ‘Kaidi’s 5ive’ is a superb collection jazz infused soul. The opening track ‘Don’t Hide Your Love’ has all the trade marks of a classic jazz-funk track but subtly enters new territory as it twists and turns it way through. ‘To My Surprise’ a tasty slice of modern day disco-funk, veering off in different direction, to create an original piece, hi-lighted with a cool vocal. ‘Dyno’ takes things down a notch, slightly melancholic and a  darker tone overall. ‘For All The Love in Time’ an ethereal intro gently gives way to a sprightly jazz out fusion number with a tight drum foundation and melodic synth bass producing an enchanting sound. My favourite track is the last one on this album ‘Organic Juggernaut’ is far mored textured with a wonderful flute weaving in out. With a punchy beat that kicks in, signaling the uptempo and dance floor vibe to this excellent example of future fusion. Once again Kaidi has wrote and produced all selection as well as taking care of all keyboards, Percussion, Drums, Programming, Synth Bass, Flute and Vocals. With that much undiluted control, the expression and journey is pure and leaves you wanting more, a lot more.

So what about Jazz re:freshed, Well it’s far more more than just a label, It’s a movement, a philosophy. A vehicle to promote emerging artists and established ones. Though their website, label and live sessions. The brainchild of Uprock’s Justin ‘TopRock’ McKenzie & Adam ‘Rock’ Moses, Jazz re:freshed started in the summer 2003. Their aims..”to challenge the elitism and prejudice within the jazz community that had kept jazz on the sidelines far too long, whilst bringing the incredibly diverse, colourful, expressive and creative world that is jazz to the people – live, fun and affordable – whilst promoting underexposed music and artists deserving of the widest recognition” Much of this is achieved through their weekly live sessions in the heart of West London, show casing the many strands of jazz influenced music; Fusion, broken beat, be-bop, hip-hop, afro-funk, nu soul and other undefinable sounds. Djs booked to play also reflect this open minded attitude. The venue is intimate, perfect for inspiring and energizing the musicians, creating that magic vibe between stage and audience. It is so important that places and attitudes like this exist, encouraging collaborations  and conditions where new movements can emerge.

Primo/Shaolin Afronauts/Nostalgia 77/Renegades Of Jazz

Primo and the Group – Sun EP Primo
I have to confess I can’t stop playing the title track of this EP, as it’s one of those tunes that fires up the senses. Very much in the style of an uptempo hard bop fusion tune from the seventies, complete with extended solos and breaks making it perfect for a full on jazz-dance session. ‘Why He Had To Go’ a lovely slice of soulful jazz, with nice keyboard work a rock solid foundation and vocals with a remix version coming from ‘Patchwork’. The last track on the Ep is a version of Herbie Hancock’s ‘Tell Me A Bedtime Story‘ with vocals from Kylie Auldist, This is an uplifting feel good version. Primo is a project from DJ Hironobu Jyounai who is a DJ and record producer. With the Primo label he has re-released some very tasty vocal jazz, fusion and Brazilian gems. Very much a man after my own taste.

The Shaolin Afronauts – Flight Of The Ancients Freestyle Records
The opening track, ‘Journey Through Time’ of this release will have you moving and grooving in no time at all, a raunchy afro-funk jam from this Australian African-inspired outfit. strongly influenced by the music of 1970s West Africa, Ethiopia and avant-garde jazz. The Shaolin Afronauts take you on a pleasurable journey through the subtle nuances Afro flavoured soul, funk and jazz. From funk gems like the title track ‘Flight Of The Ancients’ to the cinematic sound of ‘Scarab’ The line up comprises of a three-piece horn section, 5-piece rhythm section and three percussionists, that would make a live performance very exciting… Bring it on !

Black Feeling 2 Freestyle Records
Despite giving the appearance of a mid 70s compilation this collection of cover versions is the work of Australian musical supremo Lance Ferguson, The man behind the organ trio Cookin On 3 Burners and The Bamboos. Touching on funk, jazz latin, soulful grooves, think Prestige records, Blue note, Boogie Jazz-funk, Grant Green, cop show themes and boogaloo, you dig ! All given a spit and polish for a fresh 2011 feeling.

Nostalgia 77 – Beautiful Lie EP Tru Thoughts
Beautiful Lie’ thoughtful and delicate with a blend of modern jazzy-foklness rich in melodic soultronics. Josa Peit sets the tone with a wonderful vocal. Natural Magnetic remix and a live version along with original make a nice set. Also included the Dexter remix of ‘Simmerdown’ along with ‘Goldern Morning’ a live version and a remix from ‘Examples Of Twelves’

Renegades Of Jazz - Moo Juice EP Hiperbole
A jolly fun loving jazz beat and very funky best describes this collections of mixes. ‘Moo Juice’ is an original composition by this german group. Bernd ‘Kinski’ Roesler Remix fires up the bossa mode a few notches complete with vintage advertising samples. other mixes come from Tom Eno which has a jazzy disco feel to it and to finish off its the dubbed out ‘Mute Speaker’ remix.

Esperenza Spalding At the Barbican Centre, London 11.7.11

Live - Esperenza Spalding At the Barbican Centre, London 11.7.11

Esperenza is an incredible talent that has been making big waves in a short space of time. Picking up a Grammy for ‘Best New Artist’ in 2010. She has already played with some big names; Joe Lavano and Stevie Wonder amongst other. Spalding was born in Portland Oregan. By the age of four she had taught herself to play Violin, so well infact that she was able to perform with the Chamber Music Society of Oregin. Staying with them for 10 years. At the age 15 she discovered the Acoustic Bass along with a wider range of music outside that of Chamber. She attended Berkeley College of Music, Boston. Earning a Bachelor of Music degree.

The music being performed at the Barbican was from her latest release ‘Chamber Society Music‘ It isn’t traditional Chamber or Classical music neither is just Jazz, but rather a complex and contemporary mixture of all, including Eastern European folk. The pieces were long and intricate with Spalding singing, sometimes very soulfully and scatting in the high register, which at times reminded me of a cross between Polish singer Urszula Dudziak and Brazilian vocalist Flora Purim. Despite playing a relatively large venue to a sold out audience, This was not watered down music for the mainstream. The applause after each number was ecstatic.

The show started of with the string trio playing gently in semi darkness, Esperenza with a touch of theatrics walks on to the stage and sit by a table, softly lit lamp by her side, pours a glass of wine and slips of her shoes. A moment of contemplation for both her and the audience.

Then joining the strings with the upright bass for the first number before being joined by the rest of the group. The line up as you would expect was of the highest excellence. Instrumentation is piano, drums, two violins, cello, bass and backing/lead vocals and occasional trumpet from Leala Cyr. Argentinean Pianist Leo Genovese also doing some nice work on the melodica. There was a beautiful duet between Esperenza and Leo, who effortlessly played the whole tune with one hand. Leala Cyr did a lovely duet with Esperenza, starting of with a conversation which was entirely scatting and gentle hand slaps, before being joined by the rest of the group. The show finishes the way it started, sitting once again by the table. It will be interesting to see what future directions Esperenza Spalding takes, her talent and uniqueness will, I’m sure, prove to be inspiring.

 

Mizell Brothers

Sky High with the Mizell Brothers.

It was with a touch of sadness that I learnt of the passing of Alphonso ‘Fonce’ Mizell, one half of the production team along with brother Larry that were the Mizell Brothers.Their sound occupied a large part of my listening time throughout much of the seventies. They produced and played on some of the most iconic jazz-funk albums of that period defining an influential groove that to this day still has young music makers savoring every beat and sample. Donald Byrd, The Blackbyrds, Bobbi Humphrey and Gary Bartz were just a few of the artists to benefit from the dynamic duos magic touch. In the case of Bryd  who was signed to Blue Note, resulting in one the biggest-selling album in the labels history at that time.

Alphonso Mizell was born on 15th January 1943 and a year later Larry was born. Raised in Harlem, New York and Englewood, New Jersey. Whilst at college their formed The Vanlords along with Freddie Perren and John Butler. Alphonso graduated from from Howard University in Washington and it was during his time there that he came to the attention of Dr. Donald Byrd, who was one of his teachers, Byrd recognised the talent in this aspiring student. In 1969 Fonce left school and headed for the West Coast and set up Sky High Productions. “Byrd and I stayed in touch, though” Fonce Mizell says. “Larry had some tunes that I thought would be good for him to listen to”  Byrd liked what he heard and they cut two tunes. “Five or four months past, then we got the word to produce the whole album, which became ‘Black Byrd’” Larry says, “The reason it took so long was that there were a lot of different opinions on whether or not Byrd should stay straight ahead or go with the things that we had cut. The day he cut those two tunes, he also recorded straight ahead jazz”.

The Mizell Brothers called upon a pool of musicians, including Harvey Mason (Drums), “Wah Wah” Watson, David T. Walker (Guitars). Chuck Rainey (Bass) and Jerry Peters (Piano). Freddie Perren and Chuck Davis were occasionally involved as co-writers or co-producers. Producing some of the best jazz-funk albums for Blue Note Records, CTI, Milestones, capitol and Fantasy Records including Johnny ‘Hammond’ Smith’s ‘Gears LP released in 1975 which is still amazingly popular with many tracks of that release still being played in clubs today.

The Mizell Brothers accompanied the likes of Byrd, Humphrey, Hammond and Bartz on many of their recordings; Fonce played clavinet and trumpet, Larry on piano and synth. The brother would also take care of backing vocals and vocal arrangements, which makes perfect sense as that is where they started with the vocal group Vanlords.

It wasn’t just Jazz-funk that they specialised in. In 1978 they produced a platinum selling album for ‘A Taste Of Honeys’ – ‘Boogie Oogie Oogie’ and L.T. D.’s ‘Love Ballad’, a number 1 R&B hit in 1976 by which time younger brother Rodney Mizell, a top rate drummer and bass player had joined Sky High productions and was responsible for the classic disco bass line on ‘Boogie Oogie Oogie’. In 1982 their worked with Mary Wells on her dance 12 inch tune ‘Gigolo’. In addition to this it is amazing to think that the Brother wrote ‘Where are we going ?’ for Marvin Gaye as a follow up to ‘What’s Going On’ due to internal politics  Motown never never released the track at the time, it didn’t see the light of day until it’s inclusion nearly 30 years later in 2001on the ‘Very best of Marvin Gaye’. A version by Donald Byrd did however appear on Byrd’s Album ‘Black Byrd’ in 1973.
