Sets
- 4 tracks (24:15)A1. SUN : A really great set of spiritually-tuned jazz from PRIMO. This has a freewheeling, exploratory sound that takes off in a mode that's a bit post-Coltrane, but which also has some freer touches too. This track have a rhythmic, Strata East-like quality.
A2. Why He Had To Go : This is my sound encapsulated in four minutes of heart-stopping soul perfection. Clear vocal over a smoky beat, elegant horns and throbbing bass!
B1. Tell Me A Bedtime Story : PRIMO takes on Herbie Hancock - turning in a heavenly version of the classic - smooth, soulful, groover with Latin-influnced beat, spectacular horns, beautiful piano, lots of great keyboard lines and incredible vocals from Kylie Auldist.Kylie's voice reminds me very much of early Aretha Franklin.
B2. Why He Had To Go (Patchworks Disco Remix) : This Remix is performed by Bruno Hovart - under various names and into different projects : Patchworks, Metropolitan Jazz Affair, Mr President, The Dynamics, Cinnamone, Porks Watch etc...

http://www.jetsetrecords.net/jp/product/814004154992 - 1 tracks (04:27)Funky and free-thinking fusion! The work here has some great qualities that remind you of some of the best European fusion from mid 70's – a sense of soaring, stretching energy – and one that never resorts to too much jamming to carry across its message, and which juxtaposes heavier rhythms with some gentler tunes that really allow the horn parts some wonderful moments!
- 2 tracks (09:13)The first production - "A Child Runs Free e.p" - wonderful modern take on Fred Johnson's notoriously rare Vocal Jazz track was released. It was collected to a lot of compilations such as "Music For Jazzdancers"(Freestyle-UK), "Contemporary Jazz"(Tramp-Ger). A lot of famous DJ also publish in the playlist, and it receives high acclaim from domestic and foreign hard diggers.
- 1 tracks (05:13)The fusion/jazz group REVERIE was co-founded by keyboardist / principal composer Mark Knox and drummer Jim Miller in their Midwestern U.S. hometown of Indianapolis in the mid-seventies. Upon relocating to the East Coast, they encountered saxophonist E.J. Yellen (b. Brooklyn, NY) and bassist Gerald Veasley (b. Philadelphia, PA); shortly thereafter (1979) they recorded their first "demo" in New York City.
- 1 tracks (05:03)An extremely rare record by BEA BENJAMIN aka "Sathima" (wife of South African pianist/composer, Dollar Brand/Abdullah Ibrahim), found on the EKAPA label, #001 (a vanity imprint), and issued from recordings at the Downtown Sound Studios, NYC, in April, 1979, called "Sathima Sings Ellington" - in loving tribute to Duke Ellington with whom she worked. Mr. Brand also produced the album. Tunes are: "In A Mellow Tone"; "Prelude To A Kiss"; "Sophisticated Lady"; "Mood Indigo"; "Lush Life"; "I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart" and "Solitude".
- 1 tracks (06:47)Patrizia Scascitelli live session recording from 1975 is going to be on CD for the first time! First Italian press with original Edizioni Cultura Popolare label for this very rare record of the Italian jazz female pianist, with guests as Larry Dinwiddie, Karl Potter and Marvin "Boogaloo" Smith! A very rare piece for Italian jazz collectors!This album will include a bonus track of re-edit track by jazz club unit STARDISH will a live scene on CD-extra.
- 1 tracks (11:37)Ultra-rare, private release from the early seventies, and what an album it is too. Prepare to be dazzled by Ms Grauer's awesome explosion of Fender jazz!! Funky fusion of the highest order, this LP is truly a delight to listen to. Intricate playing, funky beats, great tunes. Including the original version of "Frog Child" taking a funkier, more direct approach, the effect is electrifying. "Inside, Outside" - that groove just won't stop.
- 1 tracks (02:47)A totally amazing vocal jazz album from the early 70s -- an obscure private pressing album from Primo Kim, an obscure singer -- but a great one too! Primo's got a very hip approach to his work -- a sound that's somewhere in the territory of Mark Murphy or Bobby Cole -- light years from mainstream male vocals, and often served up with some very jazzy grooves in the background! Many tracks here are originals by Primo, and a few others are well-chosen covers too -- and in a way, the feel is quite like some of Mark Murphy's best overseas work of the 60s, or Bobby Cole's landmark album from the early 60s -- a set without compare, and with a freshness that's just getting appreciated all these many years later.

The Japanese theme continues this week as we present a guest mix from Tokyo
DJ and record producer Hironobu Jyounai,
whose PRIMO project has been setting dancefloors alight recently after a series of vinyl EPs.
Here he compiles a brilliant uptempo mix of contemporary jazz,
classic hard-bop sounds and assorted Japanese rarities for a brief 45 minute throwdown.
Marc Hemmeler kicks everything off with a delightful samba
before the Hideo Shiraki Quintet drop a killer version of 'Sayonara Blues',
Art Blakey's classic 'Ping Pong' rears it's head and Takeshi Inomata takes us to 'Green Dolphine Street'.
The Ryusei Tomoyose Quartet bring us the evocative 'Movement'
before the unmistakeable baritone of new Blue note signing Jose James breaks through on 'Body and Soul'.
Michel Klotchkoff Trio and Chris Woods take us into the home straight with 'Full Space'
before the playful 'Goofin' Each Other' from Pianox4
and 'Thank You Chopin' from Romano Mussolini round off the mix.
Thanks for listening. - May 16, 12
