Apologies in advance for the lack of material on here lately. I'm away on a little adventure, but I promise a return to this space in July. I hope you'll all still be here when I get back!

MondayJazz

The cats over on MondayJazz continue to add to their already vast anthology of tapes and the breadth of music continues to expand. Here we have the latest 4 installments, each with their own story to tell.

First stop is East Berlin, which strangely transports us back to 1970s New York courtesy of the vibe created by Wachtmesiter Huebner

Next up we take a ride on a train of retrospective thoughts. A train that is undoubtedly a Jazz train, and one which allows for contemplation within after the cruel cleansing of the cold blooded lover that is winter.. This one comes courtesy of WMF club resident Manuela Krause.

On to Lithuania we go for episode 218 where Weedska modestly states "This is not a mix and I am not an artist," though quite what you'd call an arrangement that incorporates Black Sabbath, Steve Reich and a tribute to Gil Scott-Heron without spiralling into a mess, I'm not sure. Kind of psychedelic, and kind of surreal, it continues the ascent into Spring.

Finally, our journey stops indefinitely somewhere between Itacha, New York and the Cretaceous. DinosaurVibrations embraces melancholy and the milder sounds of instrumental hip-hop and jazz. Take a moment, divorce yourself from the rush and relive the moment.

Ta-ku: Scraps V.2

Ta-Ku has put out another tape, Scraps v2. And in actuality, it serves its purpose as an appetizer as for his much buzzed about 50 days of Dilla project set to drop anytime on HW&W.

Sticking with HW&W, Elaquent‘s new track “Grey Poupon”, off his upcoming album The Scenic Route, has delivered just the vibe for the morning. This song features Octavio Santos on trumpet and flugelhorn, which brings a great jazz flavour to the hip-hop accompaniment. If you like what you hear, make sure to get a copy of Elaquent’s The Scenic Route on March 28th, 2012.
