Track listings for Monday 18th December

A particular high point was the track Red Ochre Cowrie by Hu Vibrational from the album Univeral Mother(pictured). The album was Produced by Los Angeles left-field hip-hop/electronic/jazz artist Carlos Nino aka Ammon Contact and features Adam Rudolph, Hamid Drake and Brahim Fribgane as well as special guest and deep jazz legend Yusef Lateef. Well worth checking out on the excellent Soul Jazz Records.

Nows The Time Monday 11th Show

We'll in the end we broadcast the cleveland watkiss gig pretty much in full (see post below for info on Cleveland.

The gig was amazing, much much more then we hoped for and myself and Kevin had high hopes. Very generously Cleveland allowed us to make a recording and after a few nips and tucks (a lady pleading with him between songs to not start again until she got back from the toilet as she couldn't bare to miss a note, Cleveland agreeing !) we put the show out as Monday's show.

I'm still trying to get a list of the tunes that Cleveland performed, so sorry for the sketch info on this show.

Check out Cleveland on myspace

This Monday's show we'll be back with more excellent new music and playing some of the albums that are burning the title into my ipod display they are being played that often!

Monday 4th December 2006 Track Listings

These are the track listings for Monday 4th December's show - unfortunately I wasn't in studio last Monday as I headed with my beloved to a gig that was'nt contemporary jazz at Cargo in London and besides an excellent Vietnamese meal before hand it thought me that the reason why I hear so many great live acts is that they are usually under the heading of Jazz and Improvised music.

Kevin of course put out another stupendous show so here are the tracks. The theme was solo voice because if you read the post below you'll note that tonight Nows The Time at the Vortex is featuring a rare solo performance by the great Cleveland Watkiss.

Nows The Time @ The Vortex Jazz Bar ft. Cleveland Waktkiss

Nows The Time is much more then a regular radio programme, we also have the priviledge of hosting a monthly night of live music at London's best contemporary jazz venue The Vortex in Dalston(pictured).

On Thursday 7th December we host a solo performance by the hugely talented Cleveland Watkiss. Cleveland is often billed as the UK's answer to Bobby McFerrin but even though Cleveland himself would recognise this influence the comparison does no justice to Cleveland's compositional and technical abilities. Cleveland's music is a unique hybrid of jazz, gospel, electronic, soul and African-Carribean musical forms that, more then any musician I can think off, sums up London's contribution to contemporary jazz.

Cleveland began his vocal career working with Reggae greats such as Carroll Thomson and Sugar Minott in the early eighties but his music grew beyond Reggea to incorporate jazz, acid-jazz and electronic music. His contribution to London's rich jazz culture is enourmous. Along with Courtney Pine he founded the Jazz Warriors in 1985 a group that was to form the bed rock of the British jazz revival in the eighties and nineties.

He's performed with and alongside the two great female jazz vocalists of our time Cassandra Wilson and Abbey Lincoln.

Some time after the release of two critically acclaimed albums for Polydor Records, "Green Chimneys" and "Blessing in Disguise", Cleveland formed the drum'n'bass trio "Project 23" with American drummer extraordinaire Marque Gilmore and UK garage pioneer DJ Le Rouge. Their album, "23" was released on the Dorado record label to critical acclaim. His CV as a session voclist reads like a who's who, from Pete Townsend to Stevie Wonder.

The Vortex gig is also special as it's a musical homecoming of sorts. The Vortex is very much part of the cultural life of the borough of Hackney in East London and this is where Cleveland grew up. So the vibe as my beloved girlfriend is want to say, will be perfect.

For more info on Cleveland Watkiss check out his myspace site - www.myspace.com/clevelandwatkiss

As actions speak louder then words it's well worth checking out Cleveland's performance on Angel 22 TV - you can see the video here - http://www.angel22.tv/ (bypass the ridiculous intro and ignore the horrendous presenting at the start of the clip and you will be rewareded)

Alongside a rare solo performance Kevin and my good self will be spinning tunes between and after sets. Save to say the Vortex is a great venue to listen to live jazz, hear fantastic DJ sets and you can even order in a pizza to have with your beer and wine.

Go to the Vortex website for full prices and start times etc. - www.vortexjazz.co.uk

Hope to see you there !

Track Listing Monday 27th March 2006

Hello All,

Very sorry that the posting of the shows listings have been so slow in migrating from my notebook to the blog. My excuse ? I've started a new job this month - I'm now working for BBC World Service on a fabulous new programme called Culture Shock, check it out if you're interested in finding out about trends and new ideas in global culture..can't believe I just wrote that! Check it out!

This Monday's Nows The Time was great. Both Kevin and myself are still on a buzz from the Nows The Time night at the Vortex in Dalston that took place on the previous Friday - 24th. Jason Yarde performed a stonking set live and we had a full house - so things are looking good for the monthly night at the Vortex. I'll post details of the April 24th night next week.

We arrived a little early to the Resonance FM studio on Monday and as usual there was a musical suprise to be had. The Wrong Music people where doing their thing, which is a laptop electro mash up that has all the attitude and energy of pure British punk crossed with the electro-clash aesthetics of Venetian Snares - genius. Scotch Egg was in fine form throwing in enough "fucks" to put everyone on edge but Wrong means Wrong - No!

Sadly this joyous and raucous musical bonanza was the swan song for the show that precedes us each monday You Are Here presented by Magz Hall and Jim Backhaus. Magz and Jim have been a pleasent sight indeed every monday and they'll be missed. Hope to see them back on Resonance FM after the summer. Good news is that Wrong Music people will be filling this slot so good luck to them.

OK the music we squeezed into our slot of 60 minutes:

* Langston Hughes - Prayer Meeting - The Voice Of Langston Hughes - Smithsonian Folkways
* Cassandra Wilson - Come On In My Kitchen - Blue Light Til Dawn - Blue Note
* David Eyges / Arthur Blythe / Abe Speller - There You Go - Ace - Midatlantic Records
* Juhani Aaltonen / Regie Workman / Andrew Cyrille - The Navigator - Reflections - Tum Records OY
* Nels Cline - New Old Hat - The Inkling - Crypto Gramaphone
* Quadracromia - Quadracromia #4 - Quardracromia - EYS Records
* William Parker - El Puente Seco - Long Hidden: The Olmec Series - AUM Fidelity
* Nik Bartsch & Ronin - Module 35 - Stoa - ECM

Track Listing 6th March 2006

I've hit on a bizarre personal truth regarding my subconcious and the weekly feast of improvised music and Jazz that is Nows The Time. When my head hits the pillow on Monday night it is followed by a furtive, chaotic, vivid and oft bizarre night of dreams.

Well last Monday night's tangle with Morphius was particularly surreal (I'll spare you the details) and I've put it down to one particular artist we played - Charles Gayle - specificaly two tracks 'Glory Dance' and 'Unto Jesus Christ' from his superb album Shout on Clean Feed Records recorded last year. Gayle fronts a powerful trio on this recording with legendary bassist and a long time collaborator Sirone alongside the drummer Gerald Cleaver. Gayles compositions have stayed firmly with themes of the spiritual since his re-emergence in the 1980's. For some reason these works tapped into my latent catholicism and effected a very powerful reaction. I'm sure we'll revist this record in the coming weeks and I think it's a must have in everyones record collections.

So alongside Charles Gayle we played the following:

artist - title - album - label

* Langston Hughes - Prayer Meeting - The Voice Of Langston Hughes - Smithsonian Folkways
* Juliette Kelly - Secrets - Delicious Chemistry - Chantiko
* Calhoun - Native Lands - Enja
* Kahn Jamal – ethnic passion – Return From Exile – Discograph
* Jhelisa - See Line Woman - Sunday in Algiers - Rentavibe Records
* Charles Gayle - Glory Dance - Shout - Clean Feed Records
* Quadracromia - Quadracromia #4 - Quardracromia - EYS Records
* The Mighty Sparrow - Dear Sparrow (excerpt) - The Mighty Sparrow First Flight - Smithsonian Folkway Recordings
* Anthony Braxton & The Six Compostitions Quartet - PZQ - Island Records
* Satoko Fujii Quartet - A Journey Into The West - Angelona - Libra Records
* Quinsin Nachoff - There & Back - Magic Numbers - Songlines
* Zoe Rahman - Last Note - Melting Pot - Manushi Records
* Joe Henderson - Beatrice - Joe Henderson: The State of The Tenor Vol. 1&2 - Bluenote
* Charles Gayle - Unto Jesus Christ - Shout - Clean Feed Records
* Ari Ambrose - How Can You Believe - United - Steeplechase Records
* Richard Galliano & Michel Portal - Mozambique - Blow Up - Dreyfus Jazz

End!

Track Listings - 27th February 2006

Apologies for the late posting of the track listings for this weeks Now’s The Time - both myself and Kevin were distracted by our National soccer teams playing this week - Kevin celebrating his beloved Trinidad & Tobago's win over Iceland 2-0 and my nation - the Republic of Irelands brilliant and sparkling defeat over Sweden 3-0. Now surely is the time for our teams to take on the big nations of International soccer, oh yes.

Trinidad & Tobago get to go to Germany this summer so as you would expect Kevin is a happier man then me at present.

Saying that last Monday's show was an International winning show if ever there was one. String sextets, Oliver Nelson remixes and Sun Ra compositions under four minutes meant this was our most tactically diverse and successful show so far. Judge for yourself, here are the tracks we played:

* Langston Hughes - Prayer Meeting - The Voice Of Langston Hughes - Smithsonian Folkways
* Kahn Jamal – Nubian Queen – Return From Exile – Discograph
* Goran Kajres - The Man With The Golden Arm - Headspin - Amigo Musik
* Joanne Bracken (ft Eddie Gomez & Jack DeJohnette) - Egyptian Dune Dance - Special Identity - Island Records

Track Listing - Show 20th February 2006

Another week goes by another show under our belts, a very warm hello to our growing band of listeners. Thanks to all who have emailed us, Kevin and I get a huge buzz when we get emails wether they are entries for a competition or queries and feedback - every email and comment is welcome.

This is not an Oscars acceptance speech but it's important to say thanks to people who make things happen – so both Kevin and I would like to thank Resonance FM’s stalwart Patrick – the man who gets us on air and never fails to back us up with wit, technical expertise and vital dousings of water.

Last weekend we both glutted out on live music but the high point of the weekend was Zoe Rahman at the Vortex in Dalston. Listening to jazz and improvised music live often means entering into an atmosphere of polite seriousness – a kind of respectful reservedness which is sometimes appropriate but sometimes not – however Zoe Rahman’s gig was from the first note on her handsome Steinberg simply joyous – a celebration of her music, her influences and the skill of her musicians, Oli Hayhurst on bass and Gene Calderazzo on drums. Inspired by this performance the trio featured heavely on the show. But a particular high point of Zoe's gig was her rendition of an oft forgotten gem of a tune by Joanne Bracken titled Egyptian Dune Dance with it's odd time signatures and dazzling melodic shifts. So of course Kevin took out his cellar key, brushed of the cobwebs, descended the stairs to his vault, pushed open the oak door with Joanne Bracken carved into it and pulled out the original recording for your delight dear listener.

Alongside this rarity we played the following:

artist - title - album - label

* Mina Agossi - Au Bois de Boulogne - Well You Needn't - Candid (soon to be released)
* Zoe Rahman - The Calling - Melting Pot - Manushi Records
* Joanne Bracken (ft Eddie Gomez & Jack DeJohnette) - Egyptian Dune Dance - Special Identity - Island Records
* Mat Meneri - Irena - Pentagon - Thirsty Ear
* Julien Lourau - Collateral Damage - Fire & Forget - Label Bleu

* Andrew McCormack - Facing the Fire - Telescope - Dune Records

Track Listing for Nows The Time - Monday 13th February 2006

This weeks show was a little less hectic than last week but action packed none the less. Hot seating in Resonance FM's studio is always a little precarious but it lends to the danger that is at the heart of the stations ethos. I'll post some images of the Resonance studio in the next few weeks for your reference - but myself and Kevin can't help feeling like we are inside the Beatles Yellow Submarine when we are in the studio.

The show had no overt theme but African influences and associations permeated the show. Ba Cissoko's Le Reve De L'oiseau from his album Electric Griotland turned up again on the show and gets the studio all hot and bothered when we play it. Kevin’s mentioned on air Ba Cissoko’s obvious tip of the hat to Electric Ladyland and Hendrix and it is not too far fetched to say that the group are reinventing the role of the Kora, acoustic and electric, on this great album. Africa turned up again in the title of Wilton ‘Bogey’ Gaynair’s classic recording – African Calling – just about to be reissued on Candid. It’s one of the great lost London jazz recordings and a must have if you’re a fan of British Jazz of that era. These were just some of the great tracks that made up this weeks Nows The Time, here are the rest:

* Langston Hughes - prayer meeting - The Voice Of Langston Hughes - Smithsonian Folkways
* Otis Taylor – feel like lightening – Below The Fold – Telarc
* Omar Sosa / Adam Rudolph – trace of burning stars – Pictures of Soul – Ota Records
* Zoe Rahman – the calling – The Melting Pot – Manushi Records
* Ingrid Jensen – captain jon – At Sea – Artistshare Records
* Ba Cissoko – Le Reve De L’oiseau – Electric Griotland – 3D Family Records
* Kahn Jamal – ethnic passion – Return From Exile – Discograph
* Billy Harper – dance eternal spirits – Black Saint – Black Saint Records
* Henri Texier/Louis Sclavis/ Aldo Romano: Le Querrec - Derriere le Sable - African Flashback - Label Bleu
* Chic Corea – three ghouls part 3 – The Ultimate Adventure – Stretch Records
* Julien Lourau – collateral damage – Forget – Label Bleu
* Henry Threadgill – crea – Song Out Of My Trees – Black Saint Records
* Wilton ‘Bogey’ Gaynair – the way you look tonight – Africa Calling – Candid
* Charles Lloyd – forest flower 69’ – Soundtrack – Atlantic Records
* Lost Brother – departure – Hopscotch Records

Monday 6th February - track listing

We had an action packed show on Monday 6th February's show. It was stuffed full of great music and a welcome visit from Satch Hoyt from the collective Burnt Sugar. Burnt Sugar is the creation of writer/guitarist/producer Greg Tate. Formed in 1999, Burnt Sugar was conceived as a contemporary version of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew band, exploring the connections between jazz, rock, funk, twentieth century composition, and African music in a lyrical, seductive, exploratory, improvisational manner. We played two tracks from their soon to be released album - More Then Posthuman: The Rise of The Mojosexual Cotillion - which is as good as the title.
