Quiet Brilliance Lost Sessions #12
The fifth of nine lost sessions (and it’s a good one this one! gems within)
Between July and December 2019 I delivered 22 shows to Jazzuary FM, 13 of which got to the archive. Thus, I’m posting the 9 lost sessions.
This was the #12th Quiet Brilliance show to “air”…
“Weekly adventures in quietly and brilliantly grooving ark-ival jazz,
soul and related sounds and spirits, spanning the planet and recorded
history – classics and future classics, dug-for treasures, materials
variously recombined and reworked. The quiet (and sometimes not-so
quiet), and the brilliant, so-labelled in reference to Ken Quashie’s and
Kodwo Eshun’s respective guidebooks for such a sonic journey. The
luminaries inevitably feature, meaning names and sounds like Coltrane,
Herbie, Stevie, Minnie, Dilla, Dego, and plenty of less-commonly
mentioned but just as significant characters, a healthy dose of latin,
and African sounds, broken beat for sure, smatterings of gospel, folk,
Indian classical, no doubt occasional hip-hop, drum & bass, and new
electronic mutations thereof, all wrung through the machinery of
electronic music and performed afresh as befitting a present era
producing-performing-DJ augmented by the tools of the times.”
