JAZZ JAZZ JAZZ JAZZ

Sanding 8 and Sesqui on deck

  Real jazz is the heat of the moment. Its the essence of reality and it cooks.

Rocked Saul Williams and Afro Punk to prime you for the Sunday show (November 15, Aladdin Theater). Be there or just be bent...

Lots of new music...Earl Greyhound (opening for Saul), Tv on the Radio (not even here but still in effect), some Jack Davey and her band J*Davey (not Afro Punk but still rockers). We even had some Saul Williams to set the airwaves afire.

What is Afro Punk...well, it's full of the fury and political fervor your expect from punk...just with a Black sensibility and swagga....you do know what swagger/ swagga is don't you.? Best act like you do.

Taking a cue from the show that precedes mine, I brought in an old mixtape to play on my show this morning.

Titled "Live Studio Audience", the tape consists of various songs culled from audience recordings I made of various concerts I attended in the mid-90's when I was living in upstate New York.

For me it was an audio travelogue of sorts....lots of road trips to cool cities that I was visiting for the first time...Providence, Boston, Ottawa, Ithaca, Montreal.....for YOU I hope it was entertaining in some way, at least to hear what was going on musically in 1994-1995.

Thanks as always for staying up with me!

Tah Rei brings it.
