Jazz Matters

The first Superfly mix starts with new talent Ledisi sounding like Jill Scott in the track featured Wake up. Any lovers of the trinity of soul queens Jill Scott, Angie Stone and Erykah Badu will be moved by this amazing track. Both Jill Scott and Erykah Badu are featured on the mix and are personal favourites of mine. This Soul mix takes you through the old and the new with ease.

Mestizo is a Spanish word to define mixed blood but also the blending of cultural traditions among the mixing of ethnicities in a country. The show will present the Mestizo Music that arose in France in the late eighties that ignited an international music scene during the next two decades around mainly South Europe, North Africa and throughout the American Continent.

This is music with social conscience performed by musicians from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. This is a scene that started in the streets in the banlieues, blocks, favelas or barrios of the underprivileged areas and then went to recording studios. Their leaders are not only musicians but also social activists. This is not World music.

This is music made by young people blending tradition and modern music. Mestizo as a label maybe lack of marketing appeal but define better the cultural aspect of this music than the mixed bag of World music for non-English modern music.

This is The last NuDirections Show, having started some 18 months ago on a community radio station, then due to the overwhelming response NuDirections moved on to become an independent podcaster with some success, streaming globally to 42 countries and with an audience of some 9000+.

Going forward, NuDirections will morph into NuDirections FM, an internet-based music service & platform comprising of music lovers from around the globe, who have come together through the mutual love of music - exploring the past and present ever-changing DNA of non-mainstream music.

NuDirections FM will be a non-pretentious and non-political platform. Where the only criteria needed to join us if there is a suitable slot - is the love of music and fellow man. Regardless of race, location, religion and sex, where every person can reach their full potential and have an equal part to play in what we are creating - where our presenters feel comfortable and supporting each other will help to improve and develop their collective skills.

At the beginning of August, we will start to build a library of shows and mix's and I will announce the lineup of selectors. Our official launch will probably be in Sept/Oct, then during 2002 NuDirections will be looking at a slow programme of expansion.

Thank you all so much for your support in my musical journey so far, hopefully, I can repay your support with what is being planned by NuDirections FM and the music we will play for you.

Much love

My Cousin Ray.
