Jazz Matters

You will listen to some of the most remarkable Latin musicians from the midsixties to the early seventies such as Eddie Palmieri's La Perfecta, the great Tito Puente, possibly the most popular Latin musician, maestro percussionist Ray Barretto, Johnny Colon, Monguito Santamaria (the son of Cuban conguero Mongo Santamaria), Joe Bataan, the charismatic Filipino New Yorker and innovator of Latin Soul music, Willie Colon, the Nuyorican trombonist and Salsa pioneer (the hard Latin sound of New York), the boogaloo sensations of Pete Terrace, Joe Cuba Sextet or the Lebon Brothers and many more. Music for shaking the hips and enjoying life. Get ready and start clapping your hands to the beat of the congas and trombones. I like it like that!!! Background music includes some excerpts from the following songs

This month Jazz & Beyond opens with music from Billy Valentine, The Universal Truth, Immanuel Wilkins – We the People Who Are Darker Than Blue, one half of the Valentine Brothers (of ‘Money’s Too Tight To Mention’ fame)– have released this stunning version of Curtis Mayfield’s ‘We The People Who Are Darker Than Blue’, where Billy is accompanied by The Larry Golding Trio and Blue Note Records recording artist and very special saxophone talent Immanuel Wilkins. And later in the show I play another track from his new album, a cover of Gill Scott Herons, Home Is Where The Hatred Is.

To me this sounds like a debut album not from someone who has many years of performing under his belt, this is an Amazing album that has just blown me away.

Also in this show, I give my respectful nod to Wayne Shorter, having listened to the many tributes to Wayne I decided to play something a bit different, where Wayne has ventured just outside the main Jazz arena with Carlos Santana - Love Theme From Spartacus, Joni Mitchell’s Jericho and with Steely Dan on Aja’.

Then to finish the show, Wayne plays with Joe Zawinul on Weather Reports Nubian Sundance ‘Live version. I first heard this around 1974 after walking into a record store, and Nubian Sundance was blasting at maximum volume from a bank of Wharfedale speakers. That sold me there and then completely on Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter and Weather Report, and I have been a big fan ever since.

After selecting the music to play for you, every track for me is just amazing, and to single anyone else out, I will be writing a book. So please enjoy the music I love.

MCR.

This is the first in a series of mixes inspired by the music from Black Jazz Records. The founders were Gene Russell and Dick Schory who created the record label around 1969 and released albums from 1971 to 1975, promoting the talents of young African American jazz musicians and singers

With the turn of the turn-of-the-seventies and the emergence of revolutionary developments from Electric Miles, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane and 

John Coltrane, the funky mutations of soul and jazz, Black Jazz Records took full advantage of all the possibilities that lay ahead for jazz.

Black Jazz Records was the first black-owned jazz label in 50 years and they achieved the kind of music status that most ’70s and '80s indie record labels could barely dream of. 

Later DJs Gilles Peterson and Theo Parrish, made mixes and a compilation album focusing on the Black Jazz label. Through the music, you will hear in my first mix I hope to give you a flavour of what they brought to the jazz world, and how much the music from Black Jazz Records means to me from their short existence.

A further note – in 1971, the first Black Jazz Record album released was Gene Russell’s New Direction, which inspired the birth of NuDirections FM.

Although the label only lasted a little over five years Black Jazz Records carved its place in the history of jazz.
