classic dance jazz mix by colin curtis

this mix was put together for 2 reasons, to celebrate the launch of mark cotgrove’s (snowboy to you and me) new book on the uk underground jazz dance scene between the 70’s and early 90’s’ -  ‘from  jazz funk & fusion to acid jazz’ in the book he pays tribute to artists, dj’s and dancers. heavily featured is the influential dj, colin curtis. since he started dj’n in the 60’s colin has stepped easily between northern soul, modern soul, jazz, jazz funk and soulful house. his knowledge on music is awesome to say the least. i have the pleasure to call him my friend. the second reason therefore is to provide a sample of the jazz he was playing at the time and you may then understand what a great time we had attending venues such as blackpool mecca, the ritz all dayers (manchester), rafters (manchester), and the berlin (manchester), plus others. he still djs up and down the country at soul venues and including with us at any fro-disia session. we hope you enjoy it. all comments will be passed on to colin - teecee

02 reverie - in every way
03 eddie jefferson - jeaninne
04 duke pearson - stormy
05 quartette tres bien - boss tres bien

hi all. new fro-disia mix is available. this time around it’s been compiled by our good friend glen worthington who’s made some nujazz selections from his collection. love the fukotomi track. got my copy from a great series of compilations called brazilectro, well worth checking out guys think they’re up to volume 11 now.  cheers glen.

well we are all looking forward to the birmingham luxury soul weekender in may and the good news is that by popular demand the organisers richard searling and ralph t have confirmed the fro-disia jazz session for the saturday afternoon. so once again the tag team of colin curtis, mark grice, and yours truly will be joined by baz maleady to play some of the best dance jazz, nu-jazz,jazz funk & latin music aimed straight for the dance floor. if you were at the blackpool session you’ll know how popular this part of the weekender is, the vibe was fantastic, this will be exactly the same. not to be missed. added to that live acts and numerous dance rooms what more do you want?

check out the flyer etc on the link below (and soul dj sean liveseys website as well) there is a link to the weekender site.

fro disia august dance jazz mix by teecee

hi all jazzheads

well we are back again after that small but expensive mishap

the new fro-disia mix for august is availabe for you to download. been busy scraping together some new stuff and adding some quality music from the last few years.

things i havent got yet is the new jabberloop album from japan (where else), which looks as good as the last.

some tracks from ino hidefumi and hijime yoshizawa i seemed to have missed, they are also not from lancashire…..er wonder where they are from ?

impressed with the groove on bebo best and the  super lounge orchestra cd - djazzonga. not serious jazz but some cool funky grooves.

new to me is the first release, all be it on a compilatin album, of aaron tesser & the new jazz affair. first album due out in september on irma from italy.check out the mix for their track everlasting rose, with the vocal by fabrizio rispari. these guys a have a few tracks on their myspace page, worth a listen.

1     rip one - another burton mid tempo stuff to start with from the subcontract label in japan. from the album epitome, 2008.

2     mocean worker ft bill frisell -  salted fatback

3     mocean worker - chick a boom boom boom  both these tracks from the 2004 enter the mowo album. nice nu jazz

4     bebo best & the super lounge orchstra - 2 sorpasso (will some tell me how to do roman numerals please). germanys chin chin records. like this djazzonga album. 2008.

5     the pluton kids - deep down in my soul (fabio nobile remix) .  irma records italy. this band seems to have produced several chill tracks for irma in the past. this one gets the fabio nobile nujazz treatment aimed straight for the dancefloor. from the  sister bossa 8 compilation 2008. a must have series of comps.

6     aaron tesser & the new jazz affair - everlasting rose . great italian nu jazz track this for the dancefloor, with a good vocal. from sister bossa 8 irma italy, 2008. told you they are a must have.

7     mr hermano - free as the morning sun. personal fave record from the britsh based mr hermano. from the album of the same title. 2001.

8     bebo best & the super lounge orchestra - baise moi more funky jazzy stuff from djazzonga.

9     nick holder - da sam bop excellent house jazz fron nick holder. album available on download only.2008.

10   james brown  there was a time. (kenny dope remix)  one of the all time great funk tracks. should it be remixed, well i would say no, but kenny dope has pulled this excellent  one out of the bag. love it. from the otherwise disapointing verve remixed 4 compiltion 2008. worth buying for this one track imo.

11   sunset soul presents da wiesel - boogaloo stomp (original version). carrying on the funk with his sampled groove available on a 7′ from the good groove label 2008.

12   jazzinvaders - perugia. absolutley love the jazzinvaders. this is from their second album blowon hollands social beats label. the most played track is the soulful vocal  day by day however this is the best track on the album imo. 2008

13    jazpresso - kurage. quality japanese jazz outfit keep turning out some wondeful tunes.from their latest album eeriedance s2s label. 2008.

14    povo - uam uam . classic nujazz track from their 2005 album we are povo. (there was a freddie hubbard track called povo if im not mistaken)

15    paolo fedreghini & marco bianchi -  please dont leave. no strangers to fro mixes are these 2 giants of italian nujazz and this a classic vocal track in its original version to finsh on. from the excellent several people album, schema records italy 2004.

hope you enjoy it. i did. as usual we hope you take the time and truoble to support the artists and buy some of this wonderful music.

all comment welcome

best
teecee.
