Big Changes for Jazz Matters

From Nov 1st, all shows and mixes will stream from my website on a brand-new player. It’s still under construction — but live now, so come take a listen and see what’s ahead - https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/new-music-player-beta

For that purpose, I have used more rock music than I usually use in my mixes. The rock of the post-punk scene fits perfectly with this view.

Post-punk was a very inspiring period of musical creativity and crossing boundaries that still has repercussions today.

You will find a Playlist and information in the info button and in the blog with more details on the tracks selected.

I hope you enjoy listening.

There’s a gentle polarity here, between worldliness and intimacy, structure and space. The mix leans toward jazz fusion, spiritual jazz, and global jazz but it’s more about vibe than genre. Think forgotten fusion from Scandinavia, cinematic jazz-rock from Indonesia, soulful beat-led explorations, and the kind of live recordings that put you in the room.

Whether you’re packing, unpacking, or just taking stock of the music that’s shaped you, this hour is designed to move with you.

I open with a gem from Russia — "Case" by the Ilugdin Trio, a striking piece that caught me completely off guard in the best way. Dmitry Ilugdin and his trio lay down something deeply melodic, harmonically rich, and full of understated elegance. A real find.

Next, I tip my hat to one of my all-time favourite voices in jazz, the ever-cool Patricia Barber. Her track "This Town" is a reminder of why she remains a singular force — cerebral, sultry, and effortlessly hip.

Further into the mix, you’ll find some fresh and fiery ensemble work from Clélya Abraham and company, the hypnotic grooves of Sean Khan with jazz legend Peter King and the luminous Heidi Vogel, and a cinematic journey courtesy of the Espen Berg Trio, joined by the haunting trumpet of Mathias Eick on "Vintermørke."

And then there's "Eberhard" — a poignant, sprawling tribute by the late, great Lyle Mays. For those who, like me, hold the Pat Metheny Group close to the heart, this is a moving reminder of Lyle’s genius. His musical voice was — and remains — one of the most emotionally intelligent in modern jazz.

I close with some adventurous sounds: the genre-bending "El Momento" by Sly5thAve & Roberto Verastegui, the dreamy textures of Rahill’s "Futbol," and an experimental nugget from Drift Lab that plays like a sonic science project in the best sense.

This playlist is full of surprises, beauty, groove, and soul — the kind of mix that makes you feel like the world’s a little more connected through sound.

So wherever you're tuning in — just press play and let the music take you.

Thanks for listening.

Much love,

Jazz Matters

As the founder of the renowned band African Salsa, he has left an indelible mark on the global music scene, carrying the rich musical traditions of his homeland onto international stages.

As the founder of African Salsa, he has brought his vibrant sound to audiences worldwide, blending the rich musical traditions of Senegal with Latin influences.

A Journey Through Music

Born in Dakar in 1947, Fall began his musical career in 1966 with Dakar Rhythm before joining the legendary Star Band in the 1970s. In 1976, he formed African Salsa, a group that quickly gained popularity for its infectious energy and innovative fusion of styles.

A Lasting Legacy

With a career spanning nearly six decades, Pape Fall remains a celebrated figure in African music. His contributions continue to inspire musicians and preserve the legacy of African salsa, ensuring its influence endures for years to come.

On the bright side, a close friend of mine who’s a builder has generously offered to help create and fit out my new studio once I move. So, there’s some fun to look forward to amidst the chaos!

Until I’m settled into my new space and studio, I’ll be putting out mixes instead of full shows. This mix, for example, came together as I started sorting through my music collection in preparation for packing. And let me tell you, I stumbled on some absolutely beautiful gems that I’m excited for you to hear.

I’m also experimenting with making the mixes closer to 2 hours long instead of the usual 1 hour. Depending on your feedback, I might keep them around this length going forward.

Thanks for sticking with me through this transition. I hope you enjoy the mix, and I’ll keep you updated as things progress.

I have not only included music from this current year as it is not the music made in one specific year the only one we pay attention and my criteria for this compilation of great tunes is what music has stopped me in my tracks and made an impact on me as a listener. Moments 2024 is definitely not background music.

The final song is an astonishing cover of the 1970s hit "Why Can't We Live Together" with a beautiful chorus of female singers chanting No More Wars, No More Wars. It makes a suitable final to a year of human tragedies inflicted through conflict finishes. You can say louder but never so beautifully stated. I hope the listener to Mestizo Sounds appreciate and enjoy Moments 2024.

Just last week, I realized it’s been way too long since I shared a mix that dives into the rich, eclectic world of Japanese jazz. So here we are with my latest playlist, Jazz Matters Digs Japan, featuring an irresistible selection of tracks that capture the spirit and energy of Japan’s jazz scene. This collection is packed with music I love, spanning everything from cool grooves and fusion beats to the boundary-pushing experimental sounds that make Japan’s jazz unique.

Whether you're a long-time jazz aficionado or new to the scene, this mix is designed to transport you straight to the bustling jazz clubs and hidden vinyl bars of Tokyo, where each artist brings their own flavour to the genre. Here’s what’s playing on my mix – Do dig in and vibe out:

I’m kicking off this mix with Remy La Boeuf’s "Minnesota, WI." I know I’ve played it before, but it’s a piece that resonates deeply with me – a perfect opener that sets the tone with its melodic richness and rhythmic energy.

As I presented this playlist, I found myself returning to Oregon’s "Creeper," which, once again, reminded me just how unique and influential Oregon's work has been in jazz fusion. It inspired me to start planning a special feature on Oregon, which I hope to release before Christmas. Keep an eye out for it!

In the meantime, I've also got a blog accompanying this mix, where you’ll find insights on each track and some reflections on the journey that brought this set together. You can check it out on my website, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

So, settle in, relax, and let’s enjoy this mix together. Thanks for listening, and I hope this brings as much joy to you as it did for me while putting it together.

The challenge? You’ll have to guess which side of the Atlantic each selection hails from.

By blending the lines between continents, these tracks will reveal how deeply connected the musical DNA of Africa and the Latin world truly is. Let the music speak, and let it surprise you.

Please enjoy the music I love

Welcome to Jazz Matters, where I invite you to celebrate the music that means the world to me. This month’s show is deeply personal, as it is dedicated to the memory of my father.

I’ve been quiet since early June, as my father had been battling illness, and sadly, I lost him recently. This month’s show is a tribute to him—a man whose life was also immersed in music. Although his taste gravitated towards country and classical, somehow, we always connected over the timeless sounds of Steely Dan. In his honour, I’ve included two of his favourite tracks, one from Can’t Buy a Thrill and the other from Aja, albums that were very close to his heart.

My father wasn’t just a music lover, both my grandfather and my father were the greatest influences, shaping the way I experience and appreciate music. So, it feels only right to open today’s show with a piece I believe they would have appreciated: Vincent Peirani’s "This is New Shit."

As I find my way back into the rhythm of things, I’m excited to explore new creative projects and ideas, including a new audiophile platform I’ve been working on. Though recent events have delayed its launch until December, I’ll be sharing updates as I move forward.

Thank you for checking out Jazz Matters, and here’s to the man who always had music in his soul, my father.

My podcast playlist is an ever-evolving exploration of sound, rhythm, and emotion. This month’s playlist is a blend of jazz virtuosity, genre-defying fusion, and contemporary innovation, featuring some of the most forward-thinking musicians on the scene today.

As I digitised my music collection from cassette tape, reel to reel and CD, I stumble upon a trove of music that had long evaded my ears, having been tucked away awaiting rediscovery, music that has been buried beneath the layers of time lay a wealth of musical gems that had slipped from my regular rotation. ‘’Forgotten Treasures" was born, a celebration of the overlooked and neglected tunes that once graced my ears.

The playlist is in no particular order, genre, style or time, just as I stumble on the musical gems, I say to myself ‘’I’ve really missed you’’.

Please enjoy the music I love

Charles Earland, Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson – Leaving this planet

The program under the name Rise Above aims to help people overcome the sadness and devastation caused by a world in conflict. Never underestimate the healing power of music.

I have included some of my favourite tunes I regularly spin at Big Hands, the coolest bar in Manchester, as well as some discoveries like the talented Jon Lucien. I highly recommend listening to his song "Would You Believe in Me" - he may not be a current singer, but he is truly amazing.

Good music is timeless and always worth discovering. Another discovery is the vibrant dancehall tune of More Justice and Truth by Virgin Island’s reggae star Pressure Busspipe.

Another novelty I found recently, is the great tune of Say Truth by Fred Fisher Atalobhor. Inside my DJ boxes, I get my most regular artist's music played in my sets. There you will find Manu Chao, Joe Bataan, Dreadzone, Mo-Horizons, Zulu 9.30, International Velvet and Planet Hemp. Of course, Hip hop artist and producer from Dallas Oneofus with the great track and theme of the programme.

Last but not least, Jah is forever is beautiful melody of lovers Rock by Swish Reggae producer Elijah Solomon and and Jamaican singer Glen Washington. My selection is a bunch of exciting tunes for empowering our minds and souls to Rise Above.

Playlist

1- Baby Shiva - International Velvet (featuring Mustafa Akbar and Roots of See-I)

3- Say the truth - Fred Fisher Atalobhor and his Ogiza Dance Band

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.

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

I hope this tribute to Irish music brings you the excitement and good times that live Irish music brings about. Ireland is a medium-sized island of over 7 million people. Despite that, its worldwide cultural influence in literature and music has outweighed its size.

Like islands such as Cuba, Jamaica and Great Britain, its musical contribution has been extraordinary. These four islands are important musical Meccas. Mestizo Sounds has already made programmes on the music of Cuba, Jamaica’s paramount record label Studio One or about the Mods youth musical movement in Great Britain.

Now, this show wants to present some of the Irish great talents. You will listen to traditional and modern music and a blend of both.

Craic Agus Cell is in the memory of Shane McGowan and Sinead O’Connor.

I just can't believe some of the music that has been put out in 2023, there have been so many times my breath has been taken away by what I have listened to and where it has taken me.

So this show is just not a round up of 2023, it’s what I have listened to during the year be it old or be it new.

Music cannot change the world, so they say. Sure, it can alter our way of thinking and, thus, it may improve our human existence. With a little help from my friends, I have used quotes of wisdom by celebrated writers, poets, scientists and musicians interluding with music. Something trivial means ordinary, superficial and not relevant. Our order of relative importance of matters is in many ways dictated by our way of living. But what if we got it wrong? 

Mestizo Sounds is Music Without Frontiers.

About a decade later, I had the incredible opportunity to back up Trilok in a performance. Let me tell you, he left me completely awestruck. During the sound check, he did something mind-blowing – he used his left hand and left foot on a standard drum set while simultaneously using his right hand and foot to create a completely different rhythm on an Indian percussion setup. "Wow" is the only word that can capture what I witnessed and heard; it was truly breathtaking, and it left my brain and heart wanting more. Later, I had the pleasure of meeting Trilok in person. I can confidently say that he's not only an extraordinary musician but also a genuinely nice person to chat with.

Trilok Gurtu's musical journey began in Bombay, India, where he was born into a musical family. He started playing at a very young age and later travelled to Europe, where he joined the Don Cherry quartet and went on to tour worldwide with groups like Oregon, collaborating with jazz and world music greats. Over the years, he evolved as a musician and performer, blending modern jazz and rock with elements of Indian rhythms and singing into his compositions. His stage presence and humorous presentations added a unique aspect to his performances.

Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones in 1968 found trance music in Morocco with The Master Musicians of Jajouka so powerful that he recorded a live album presented to the world as Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Joujouka.

In my selection, there is a piece of the Master Musicians of Jajouka. This time was recorded by the British producer Talvin Singh in 2000. Their style of music is of Sufi tradition and it has a trance quality. Same with the Gnawa music from Sahara. Mahmoud Guinia was a celebrated star of this genre. From the desert too is Tinariwen (Algeria/Mali),

the Tuareg band with extraordinary links to the blues music. From Argel is the superstar of Rai music Khaled. France is a country that has an important music community of the Algerian diaspora such as Gnawa Diffusion and the recently deceased Rachid Taha.

Another extraordinary band from Morocco that you can listen to is Aisha Kandisha’s Jarring Effects, one of the most avant-garde North African bands. They used technology and modern Western sounds for the purpose of their indigenous music, not the other way around to adapt to Western music by smothering their productions. Underher is AKA for Khaled Bess, a Tunisian/Canadian successful electronic producer. His productions are very representative of electronic music with melancholic tone.

I don’t usually repeat music I have played in previous shows or mixes. One of the exceptions is the very catchy and feeling-good song Ayonha by Libyan (and resident in Egypt) songwriter of Arabic Pop Hamid El Shaeri. Natacha Atlas is part of the North African diaspora (British/Egyptian). She is a prominent figure in the British World music scene. Amine Bouhafa is also part of the North African music diaspora. He is Tunisian but residing in France. Bouhafa is one of the most successful young film music composers who won a prestigious international award with the soundtrack of Timbuktu.

I hope this selection whets your appetite to learn about this fascinating music.

Ivan Conti (aka Mamao) was regarded as one of the greatest drummers on earth. A true rhythmic innovator, Starting his music career as a session drummer with Odeon Records, Ivan collaborated with artists such as Gal Costa, Roberto Carlos and Jorge Ben

Ivan gained standing as one of the founding members of Azymuth and is Brazil’s answer to Tony Allen, Steve Gadd, Ginger Baker or Trilok Gurtu,

Azymuth is a Brazilian jazz-funk group formed in 1973. The original lineup was a trio composed of José Roberto Bertrami, Alex Malheiros, and Ivan Conti, they gained international recognition in the 1970s and signed with Milestone Records in 1979, where they recorded a number of albums.

I first saw Ivan in Manchester some 20 years ago when Azymuth came to town, Azymuth was not really on my radar but I was taken by a friend of mine, well, as the concert started I was an instant convert, amazing.

Ivan Conti also explored solo ventures and electronic dance music collaborations throughout his career. Known for his unique drumming style blending jazz-funk with Brazilian rhythms, contributing to Azymuth's distinctive sound.

Ivan's career has spanned far beyond half a century’s worth of recordings with the likes of Milton Nascimento, Eumir Deodato, Marcos Valle, Hyldon, Gal Costa and Jorge Ben. More recently Mamao recorded an album with hip-hop giant Madlib under the AKA ‘Jackson Conti’.

The playlist is a journey of modern music covering from the German underground scene where Kraftwerk started to the electronic music greatest artists as Aphex Twin through their Japanese counterparts of Yellow Magic Orchestra, the Disco music of Giorgio Moroder, the techno-pop of the Human League, the electro-punk of Suicide and D.A.F. the post-punk sound of Manchester Factory record band A Certain Ratio, their influence in the Hip hop pioneer Africa Bambaataa, the Dub, ambience and world music creators of Bill Laswell and Jah Wobble and the House music pioneers of Derrick May (founder of the Detroit Techno music) and the NY DJs of Masters at Work.

Kraftwerk music was the seed of many forms of modern music — the band who saw the Future and showed us the way.

I shall try to give you a spread of just some of the exquisite jazz music that is around, it’s the music that has either caught my ears, been told about and I would love to share with you.

The music I love ranges from Rare Grooves, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Jazz Dance, NuJazz, Soul, Funk, Balearic and World Music, and past, present and future flavours from far and wide with a little nod to the left side and a little sprinkling of electronica.

My playlists are always uncompromising, bold and sometimes challenging, often changing in tempo and style to avoid getting stuck into the same groove.

Bringing together music I think the world needs to hear, and mainstream music channels so often overlook.

Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud were recording labels in the House music era of raves in the late eighties and nineties that took jazz as inspiration for a new form of the club dance scene.

Schema is a record label from Milan created in 1997 that took the baton of those labels. These labels influenced the emerging jazz club scene of the 90s. Schema produced a sophisticated catalogue of Latin jazz tinge music. Funk, Soul, Hip hop and Electronic music also merge well in this eclectic scene.

At the end of the last century, Jazz lovers, remind us that this music was not old hat but current and lively, so I have also included prominent Latin percussionists such as Puertorican Jose Mengual 'Buyú', Master Cuban conguero Aguabella and Brazilian Mamao (Ivan Conti), drummer of the great Azymuth. The latter joins with hip hop, producer and multiinstrumentalist Madlib (Otis Jackson Jr) in the track chosen from their mutual album Sujinho. Pharoah Sanders and Dr Lonnie Smith are two undisputed music legends.

Jazz Thing mix brings the music of these two great innovators that sadly passed away recently with one year between them.

The show continues the series of Cuban music that started with the "Sabor Añejo" show made last year in July 2022.

This new Cuban programme is about the years of the revolution in the sixties, seventies and eighties. The music includes diverse genres and styles from traditional Son to modern Jazz Funk music but also new styles created in those years in Cuba like Mozambique, Songo or Nueva Trova.

In addition, Cuban doo Wop with the group Los Zafiro. This band became popular in the sixties in Western countries such as France, where they played on the same bill as the Beatles in Paris. Irakere, Los Vanvan and Orquesta Aragón with the songwriter music of Pablo Milanes and Silvio Rodriguez, the jazzer Gonzalo Rubalcaba and the Sonero Adalberto Alvarez are some of the most remarkable artists included in the selection.

Through Billy's music, I was introduced to the Mahavishnu Orchestra, John McLaughlin, Al DE Meola, Chick Corea, Return To Forever, Weather Report and so much more, the floodgates to my musical mind were opened.

Fast forward many years, I jumped for joy when I had the opportunity to Promote Billy Cobham, the second time I promoted Billy we became on speaking terms

After the afternoon sound check we entered into a discussion about the dynamics of changing a band's lineup by adding or subtracting one or two members – then I told Billy that one of my favourite all-time tunes was a track called Heather from the album Crosswinds.

I thanked Billy for having a big influence on me in 1977. I then asked if I could interview him, Billy said ''no problem but it must be over a meal''.

 So as we had a chat over a takeaway curry and a beer in my office I record my first-ever interview with one of my favourite musicians talking about one of my favourite pieces of music of all time with an outstanding and very special sax solo from Michael Brecker, and to this day, to say I was in Heaven is an understatement.

In this mix, I would like to share with you 3 special pieces of music that significantly helped to change my musical direction. I've left out the big-name tunes and albums for obvious reasons as there are so many

• Billy Cobham – Heather – Crosswinds
• Yusef Lateef - Like it is - The Blue Yusef Lateef

It is perhaps the podcast that the broadcaster Mestizo Sounds has set its target with more grandiloquence. It began as a tribute to the great Japanese musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, then evolved and finished as a project with the desire to transcend musical categories. A selection of music that I hope will serve as spiritual medicine to the listener.

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.

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.

His technique was unique. His imagination was limitless and he was the ultimate guitar players' player – A towering giant in the guitar world and an inspiration to the heroes of the instrument 

Jeff Beck's willingness to showcase emerging musical talent paid dividends with the addition of 21-year-old virtuoso bassist Tai Wilkenfield to his live band in 2007, with the same lineup touring the world in 2009 with a memorable live performance filmed at Ronnie Scott's in London. 

 I first saw Jeff beck when he was in the Yardbirds back in the middle/late 60’s – and was just astounded then by his guitar playing and have done so ever since, to me his unique style of playing was something that no one could match – over the years I have been lucky enough to see Jeff Beck a few times and listened to hours of his music.

This Mix is my nod of respect to the massive talent we have just lost – I think myself fortunate to have heard and appreciate his music both Live & Recorded.

In this mix, are some of my personal favourites of Jeff’s music and I have tried to include many live recordings – especially when he is in collaboration with other artists - for me, that is where Jeff blossomed, shined and belonged.

Also, I've put up 4 videos on our website – I recommend you watch them in order

1. Why Jeff Beck is uncopiable
2. Jeff Beck talks music on Sky Arts TV 2013
3. Jeff Beck – live from Ronnie Scotts – full show
4. Jeff Beck live from the woodlands – full show

Thank you Jeff for all the many years of making my head nod with my eyes closed and taking me to a nice place.

RIP Jeff Beck

This programme is a particular story, my vision of a time when the young people in Spain took over after the dictator's death. It, maybe, is an innocent account. Of course, the young did not take power. But without their artistic contribution, modern Spain would not have happened so fast. Music was the language in the creation of a new Spain. "La Movida" was enthusiastic, creative, irreverent and exuberant as never seen before. It happened in Madrid as well as all around the country. The Spanish capital was the epicentre of this new young artist movement. 

I am very grateful for the help provided by Rae Donaldson, a good friend as passionate about music as myself. Rae is from a very musical city in the UK, Manchester. His insight into music scenes produced (before the internet) has been priceless in correcting and making suggestions to my original text. Rae is the broadcasting voice you will listen to in the introduction to the show. After that, 28 outstanding songs of this very productive artistic movement follow. Playlist Background music in the introduction.

The selection includes legendary experimentalist German bands Can and Neu! Two essential bands from Manchester that emerged from the punk and post punk era, The Fall and A Certain Ratio. The American band from the current alternative scene of San Francisco Thee Oh Sees. Atom Rhumba is a band from Bilbao influenced by the powerful sounds of James Brown and the Stooges. The garage raw sound of the Australian punk band The Celibate Rifles. The Gainsbourg-Birkin inspired duo from France, The Limiñanas. The Cameroonian Afro funk-rock singer Joseph Kamga. The Swedish psychedelic and progressive group Dungen and their fellow compatriots Goat, a trailblazer music collective producing crossover world music with a punk attitude. Lucifer Rising is a lysergic hell of a tune of the early days of The Flaming Lips.

Punk is one of the common denominators of most of the bands included. If not part of the punk scene, some artists here were punk influencers like the German bands mentioned above.

But not all is rock. Brazilian current new Tropicalista sensation Sessa adds a more intimate and mellow tone to the mix. Finally, you will find a beguiling pop song at the end by one of the early pioneers of electronic music. She is the acclaimed BBC recording engineer Delia Derbyshire performing under the artist's name White Noise with fellow BBC sound engineer Brian Hodgson and American electronic student David Vorhaus in their eponymous album from 1969.

A country deep in the cultural heritage of many deep and diverse natures, Mali has produced some deeply emotive music from a wide range of musicians and musical styles.

I've included many different types of Malian music in this mix for your enjoyment, from the 'Desert Blues' of groups such as Tinariwen, Imarhan and Toumast, to the international [but still very Malian] sound of Salif Keita, Amadou & Miriam. There are iconic women artists such as Fatoumata Diawara and Oumou Sangare, and political commentators and campaigners, such as Anansy Cisse and Seckou Keita.

Music in Mali for the last 10 years, since a coup in 2012, has been difficult, owing to the extreme nature of some aspects of the government. This has led to many musicians leaving for other countries or attempting to go underground in their own country.

Maybe I will get to Mali one day, but in the meantime let the music take us there together.

The nineties are represented with the music of the so much missed music sensation Chico Science who died at the peak of his career in a traffic accident in 1997. Here with his band Nação Zumbi interpreting a great song from Brazilian legend Gilberto Gil, “Maracatu Atomico”. Other nineties artists are the pioneer Argentian Mestizo band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, the eclectic Cafe Tacuba or the unconventionals Colombians of Aterciopelados.

Finally, the new Millenium sounds with the Venezuelan band Los Amigos Invisibles, the Brazilian Carlinhos Brown and part of the great trio Tribalistas, or the tremenda rumba by the Cuban band leader and veteran musician Orlando Valle with his band Maraca. The lyrical aspect of the Latin American new wave is shown in this Latin American selection with the inspiring song “Mil Cosas” by Uruguayan songwriter Martin Buscaglia. The newest sounds of Latin America are included here with the input of three outstanding bands. The Argentinian band Sindicato Argentino del Hip Hop, the Puerto Rican Hip hop and alternative Reggaeton band Calle 13 with the emotional song Latino America inspired the whole show. An authentic Pan Latin-American song that includes the collaboration of Peruvian diva singer Susana Baca and the Colombian superstar Toto la Momposina. Last but not least of the 3 new bands is the Colombian electronic music duo Bomba Estereo. Here with a recently released new song “Me Duele” in collaboration with Manu Chao, the most Latin American of all the current European music makers. Manu is French but his heart belongs to Latin America where he has always found inspiration and guide light in his music career. The music in the show covers many styles and genres. You will hear Colombian Cumbia, Nuyorican salsa, Psychedelic Peruvian Chicha, Cuban Rhumba, Latin Hip Hop, and New Chilean Song by the political and conscious music activist Victor Jara who was tragically executed in one of the most horrific crimes of the Pinochet 1973’s coup d’etat. Also, more modern styles of electronic Cumbia, Latin Funk, Hip Hop and a modern take on the Latin American Canción (songwriter Song) The extension of Latin America culture is bigger than its geography. It doesn’t only go from Tierra del Fuego to the border of Rio Grande but is also extending to the US and around the world with their Latino communities. The last track “Mi Gente” is a sincere homage to the Latin American people from the core of the Big Apple, New York, by the greatest Salsa and Puerto Rican singer Hector Lavoe.

In the first show, Sabor Añejo will introduce the old music styles before Fidel Castro and the bearded men took over the running of Cuba. In the 1940s the Tim Pan Alley Publishing house in the US considered the immense appeal of Cuban music and were jealous of the perennial best-sellers Cuba produced compared to the average hits they only managed to make, that only lasted for a few months. Peanut Vendor (El Manisero), La Paloma or Guantanamera are some of these perennial compositions.

The only music style included in this first show which was not produced in Cuba is the Latin Jazz groundbreaking piece of Manteca. This jazz hybrid is a composition by the Cuban Conga player Chano Pozo in the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band. Manteca opened a new genre in Jazz form. What was called Cuban Bop, then Cuban Jazz and now Latin Jazz?

Antonio Machin, Chano Pozo, Beni More, Arsenio Rodriguez, Guillermo Portabales, Miguelito Valdes, Cachao, Mongo Santamaria, Bebo Valdes, Celina, Perez Prado, Graciela, La Lupe, Machito & his Afro Cubans, Francisco Aguabella, Cuarteto D’Aida, El Gran Fellove and the Buena Vista Social Club are essential names of Cuban music. All of them are included in Sabor Añejo of the Cuban Music.

The show includes a selection of psychedelic gems of funk music breaking through to the extrasensory side. During the emerging time of African American expression and black power, funk was the soundtrack for this assertive awareness.

Jimi Hendrix is one of the stars of this style. His blues guitar overdose with the Sandoz-made lysergic opened new ways to funk. Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton and Sly Stone were also three of the greatest pioneers of this formula. Their groups The Impressions, Funkadelic, Parliament and Sly & The Family Stone were the home of some of the inventive musicians of funk music.

Larry Graham (Graham Central Station), the creator of the clapping bass style, the extravagant and not less ingenious bass player Bootsy Collins and the guitarist psych-funk groover Eddie Hazel are some of the most remarkable musicians. Psychedelic funk is not only a men club. Betty Davis, Miles's wife, was a great singer and one of the most outstanding funk performers with her wild stage antics of high octane energy. Plus Isaac Hayes - Mr Shaft-, the Chamber Brothers of “Time Has Come” fame and the New Orleans Voodoo funk masters, The Meters, making hypnotic music that will make you dance your mind and body.

A selection of music around the globe. From Ecuador to New Zealand with stops in Brazil, Guatemala, US, Norway, Germany, France, Morocco, Ghana, Hungary, Reunion Island, Indonesia or India and much more. Not World music but Music from the world.

The new mix is a celebration of the music I love to listen to. I call it Mondo Sonho Delirante. The name is an amalgamation of Italian and Portuguese words.

I confess that I borrowed its name from one of the songs included in it by Brazilian artist Fabio. His late sixties ode to the psychedelic experience called Lindo Sonho Delirante (kind of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) was the source for this crazy name.

The pretending purpose is to experience a musical journey and bring the rich sounds of the world a bit closer. It may be delusional but worth the dream.

Stevie Wonder has given me so much pleasure over many years – this mix is my personal nod of respect to a man of fantastic talent.

To give this mix a bit of a twist, all of the music in this mix is either a re-edit, remix, or a cover version of Stevie has contributed to it, I could have made this mix hours long but that is for another day – I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I had putting it together.

Happy Birthday Stevie from all of us.

The name for the show is taken from one of the most famous songs by Marcos Valle. This is “Paz e Futebol”. I replaced Paz (peace) for Música as this is the subject matter of the show.

Peace was not a description of those years as the 10 years covered in the show were a time of intense internal social and political conflict in Brazil. Bossa Nova (New Wave), the Brazilian homegrown jazz version, was the music style that many young musicians followed and developed during these 10 years from 1964 to 1973. At the same time, foreign pop and rock infiltrated the music of some of these young musicians. This was not well accepted by everybody in Brazil. It was a time of division between the MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) and the Jovem Guarda. The latter was a music movement influenced by the American Rock & Roll and followers of Elvis Presley and Little Richard. Roberto Carlos and Tim Maia were some of the musicians that embraced the electrification of music to the chagrin of the most nationalistic and, at the same time, left-leaning musicians of the MPB that oppose the Americanisation of the Brazilian music.

Then in the late sixties, the Tropicalistas (a hippie and psychedelic sixties movement in the Brazilian music) established a link between these two groups even though in a more avant-garde and dadaist outcome. MPB and Tropicalistas were both inspired by Samba and Bossa Nova's greatest artists and composers such as Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Baden Powell and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes. In these ten years emerged an outstanding generation of talented musicians and performers. The list is immense. I highlight among them: Marcos Valle, Milton Nascimiento, Sergio Mendes, Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina, Chico Buarque, Jorge Ben Gal Costa, Arthur Verocai, Gilberto Gil, Tom Ze, Alceu Valença, Astrud Gilberto, Joyce, Edu Lobo Elza Soares, Tim Maia, Naná Vasconcelos, Eumir Deodato, Wilson Simonal, Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Maria Bethania, MPB4, Os Novos Baianos and Os Mutantes. I can continue putting more names and I will still miss some of these great Brazilian artists of the 10-year-golden period. Only I hope this selection opens the curiosity for the extraordinary music of Brazil. One of the most musical countries in the world which have attracted music fans all over the world since the days of Bossa Nova.

In the early sixties the Mission district (San Francisco), where a young Mexican teenager and future rock star, Carlos Santana, grew up, kids gathered in the park to play music. It came naturally to play the new music of rock & roll with the conga players who added the Afro Cuban beat.

At home his parents' music of Cuban rhumba, mariachis and rancheras was integrated with the music he listened to on their radio favourites programmes of Blues, Rock & Roll, Motown & Stax music and the Rock music coming from England with the Beatles, Kinks, Stones and later on with Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone and the San Francisco own home-grown psychedelic music scene of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. Put them all together, mix them well in the perfect doses and new music is born.

One of the first hybrids of Rock was called Latin Rock. In the uptown of NY, Latin music had already been mixed with Soul music and Rock & Roll in the creation of the Boogaloo.

The new Latin Rock was a more bluesy version of Latin music and also more guitar leaning than the Boogaloo, which is more close to the Soul music. Soon the Boogaloo and Latin Rock became a music mixing all their elements as more complex percussion units were mixed with Rock guitar and Soul.

When you hear Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones or watch Soul Sacrifice by Santana at the Woodstock festival you know this more percussive music is exciting and made for dance.

It is when Rock recovers its Roll as Joe Big Turner would sing 'Shake, rattle and roll.' The playlist of this show includes influential music that preceded this genre and some of the most vibrant Latin Rock pieces. Latin Rock was an important musical genre to invigorate the status and cultural heritage of the Spanish-speaker communities in the US (Mexican, Puerto Ricans, Cubans or Dominicans)

They came together as a group of DJs in 1995 – Their music is characterized by nu-jazz, chill-out, as well as Latin jazz styles. Never adhering to one particular scene or sound, never pursuing one particular technique or format, they've acted as a DJ collective, a production house, a prolific remix team, radio programmers and presenters.

Later in the late 1990s, they formed as a side project Sonar Kollektiv, a German record label founded specializing in downtempo music.

Their intention was to create an independent record label and publisher connected to a worldwide independent distribution network. They have more than 200 catalogue releases over the years and the label is promoted in the United States by Prommer,

This mix will focus on Jazzanova’s later work from the stunning album ‘’In Between’’ (2002) onwards and the broken beat (ish) remixes from 1997 – 2005 will be the focus of another mix later this year.

The music I love ranges from Rare Grooves, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Jazz Dance, NuJazz, Soul, Funk and World Music, and past, present and future flavours from far and wide with a little nod to the left side and a little sprinkling of electronica.

My playlists are always uncompromising, bold and sometimes challenging, often changing in tempo and style to avoid getting stuck into the same groove.

Bringing together music I think the world needs to hear, and mainstream music channels so often overlook.

Tony Allen was the drummer and musical director of Fela Kuti's band Africa '70 from 1968 to 1979 and was one of the founders of the Afrobeat genre. Fela once stated that "without Tony Allen, there would be no Afrobeat".

He was described by Brian Eno as "perhaps the greatest drummer who has ever lived" 

Around 1972/73 I went to a pub (Bar) in Peckham SE London and the DJ was my friend's cousin who was playing Blue-beat/Ska/African Salsa/Highlife - I was there – head spinning and heart pounding with the sounds I love – Then I hear my very first Fela Kuti, Tony Allen and Ginger Baker `music ‘’Why Black Man Dey Suffer’’ with

• Fela Kuti – Electric Piano, Vocals
• Tonny Njoku – trumpet
• Igo Chico – saxophone
• Tony Allen, Ginger Baker – drums

That was it, instantly hooked with Afrobeat and have been ever since – many years later I had the good fortune to meet Tony Allen one of my music idols – we spoke for several hours about music, life and the things we love.

The Conception of Afrobeat was the Album Fela Fela Fela recorded in 1969 in the USA, having recently been schooled in the American black power movement and having taken on a new Pan-African world-view, this album served as one of Fela’s first musical soapboxes on which he challenged the colonial injustices and corruption of the ruling elites of his time. 

Fela’s second two-track album was really the Birth of Afrobeat, the album ‘’Black Man Dey Suffer’’, recorded in 1971, was originally deemed too controversial for release by EMI, his label at the time. 

The album is a history lesson on the oppression of the African man. It details the litany of abuses the black man has suffered — from being taken as slaves, to having an alien people impose a new culture upon them, take their land, fight them, and set them against one another. 

  The following track, “Ikoyi Mentality”, firmly expresses Fela’s identification with the downtrodden masses and his rejection of the ways of the ruling class inhabitants of the Ikoyi neighbourhood in Lagos. 

Another major development of Afrobeat that is often overlooked was the input from Ginger Baker (ex Cream/Blind Faith drummer), Ginger Baker met Fela in London and there they became friends, several years later after the disbanding of Cream and Blind Faith, Ginger Baker travelled to Africa and eventually arrived in Nigeria in 1970 and he met Fela again - this led to meeting Tony Allen who was Fela's drummer/bandleader and they soon formed a lifelong friendship. 

During the several years Ginger Baker stayed in Nigeria he set up west Africa’s first 16-track recording studio.

He is best known for founding the band Gong. Throughout all his music, poetry, art and indeed his lifestyle he incorporated his philosophy of spirituality, love, psychedelic enlightenment and playfulness. A writer of great songs.

Daevid also experimented tirelessly in more abstract and ambient music forms, often with a deeply spiritual undercurrent, collaborating with many different artists across the globe. Daevid Allen died in March 2015 but for many his legacy lives on in many ways

Flamenco is a blend of many cultural traditions that inhabited Andalucia, the birthplace of flamenco, situated in southern Spain at Europe's closest proximity to Africa. You will hear old and modern flamenco and some of its different styles.

Flamenco can be breakdown into different rhythms and styles such as bulerías, fandangos, tangos, tientos or rumbas (and many more). Rumba flamenca is a genre more recognised abroad with the international fame of the French nationals Gipsy Kings. Their music comes from a style developed in Catalonia (Catalan Rumba) in the 1950s by the gipsies communities who emigrated from Andalucia to Catalonia to work in the most industrial part of Spain. In the working-class areas of the industrial towns of Catalonia, the young gipsies felt more open to mixing their musical tradition with the rhythms of Cuban music and, interestingly, rock & roll coming from the US. I have also included some other forms of flamenco fusion.

The only intention is to introduce some of the music and some of the most reputed musicians of flamenco. It is not a complete guide at all. The list of the greatest singers and musicians of flamenco is enormous. As for the curious listeners can be a starting point to search into a musical art form that sure will provide them great discoveries and musical enjoyment.

The first mix in the 'Thinkin About' series of mixes is Pharoah Sanders, who made me look at the music I love from a different perspective and took me with him on his musical journey.

Pharoah Sanders is an American jazz saxophonist. first coming to peoples attention as A member of John Coltrane's groups of the mid-1960s, 

Pharoah is known for his over-blowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone and his use of "sheets of sound".

Pharoah has released over 30 albums and has collaborated extensively with Leon Thomas and Alice Coltrane, among others. Saxophonist Ornette Coleman described him as "probably the best tenor player in the world".

Pharaoh's music has been labelled "spiritual jazz" due to his inspiration in religious concepts such as Karma and Tawhid, and his rich, meditative aesthetic. This style is seen as a continuation of Coltrane's work on albums such as A Love Supreme. As a result, Sanders is considered a disciple of Coltrane.

At the age of 81, Pharoah still performs live and I recommend that if you get the opportunity to see Pharoah live, after the pandemic dies down, go and you will be in for a beautiful treat.
