  • fantastic track. holx: This is beautiful, cinematic jazz from the UK by the Greg Foat Group: Hello Old Friend. The entire album Dark Is The Sun is fantastic. Taken from the forthcoming Jazzman album (The Greg Foat Group - JMANCD/LP.041), this is the debut release from British pianist/composer/arranger Greg Foat. The 3 track 10” vinyl EP contains an intriguing blend of non-contemporary jazz sounds with classic scoring techniques, utilizing an exotic array of unorthodox instrumentation including harpsichord, tubular bells and a 15 piece choir. Recorded 100% analogue in Sweden — no computerised jiggery pokery here! With musical influence from such luminaries as Bruno Nicolai, Michel Legrand and Serge Gainsbourg as well as a firm nod towards UK jazzmen Michael Garrick, Keith Mansfield and Alan Hawkshaw, the result is highly-listenable, enduring and fulfilling for those who like real music played with real instruments.www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk

Hey folks something different this week. I was in Hong Kong a week ago doing a gig for the launch of H&M's Marni line. It was a four hour set and here's a two hour section from the first session. It covers a lot of ground in the jazz dance, downtempo, lounge side of things with some house-y funk/soul re-edits thrown in for good measure. I'll probably drop another session from the second set of the event in a few weeks. It was a lot of fun doing this and I hope you enjoy.

I spent the weekend digitizing a bunch of new records I've been picking up over the last month on my travels around the usual LA stores. A lovely Max Roach find I've been hoping to come across plus more music from Ahmed Jamal an artist that I'm getting more and more into. A cool version of Little Sunflower comes from Jerke Kluge's Deep Jazz combo that I heard on the latest Hedonist sessions plus a new collaboration from MixCloud's always point duo UniverSouLove and the Hedonist. A fantastic version of Marvin Gaye from Pharaoh Sanders that I'd never heard before and was kinda taken aback when I was digitizing the album I picked up as it's right at the end.
Anyway. Enjoy.

playjazzloud sessions vol. 92 [just jazz]

Starting off this week's show with a bunch of records I picked up while in Copenhagen earlier this week. I found a pretty healthy record store scene over there. I was a little surprised to be honest. Check out Street Sounds if you are over there ever. It's pretty much all jazz all the way except for one Seu Jorge track at the end. I have a couple of tracks with the unmistakable voice of Andy Bey, one with Horace Silver and one with his sisters. Ahmad Jamal does a beautiful live version of 'Round Midnight recorded at the Montreal Jazz Festival in '85. A track from Sun Ra plus a japanese cover of a Sun Ra track from Yann Tomita. I've also dropped right at the end a quite nutty Soil & Pimp Sessions track from their new record. You're probably used to crazy jazz from those guys but this is goes another level, hopefully I won't scare away too many of you :) Enjoy and it's going to be all jazz all the time until mid December when I wrap up the year with the usual Rewind selection.


PJL Intro

Andy Bey - Feeling Good

Ahmad Jamal - 'Round Midnight

Oliver Nelson - Tennie's Blues

Willie Bobo - Never you mind

playjazzloud sessions vol 83 [Electrons, Jazz 'n Soul]

Interesting freestyle episode this week. Somehow went from Amy Winehouse to classic 90s Acid Jazz hiphop before going via Herb Alpert's jazz-funk classic to NYC's Balihu label and a track from Daniel Wang. There's usual spiritual jazz interlude before getting a little darker. I hope you like the great Arcade Fire cover from Mr. Little Jean and also the Caribu remix of Radiohead, one of a bunch of electronic/dupstep takes of their last album. Enjoy and I'll be around next week with another selection of music.

It's a very mixed bag of music. A great 74 Miles Away track off the new Laid Back compilation. Some old Roberto Fonseca, Matthew Halsall and Ramsey Lewis bring the jazz with a twist. Two back to back tracks from Ashley Beedle and then something off a new Mayer Hawthorne cover EP.
