Deep-Jazz goes LIVE !!!


Katonah and Bacoso presents:
DEEP JAZZ REALITY

It looks like it's finally going to happen. Myself and the biggest jazz blogger on the planet, Bacoso, are planning a night of the heaviest jazz gears around. Super rare sounds will be hauled from the vaults and brought to the smart set of London. Light years from any watered down, Jazz-funk school disco disappointment, this will be for the feet, and the mind. 

No entrance fee required, but it's a small venue, just a stone's throw from Piccadilly. More details and Flyers to follow, with the date set for Saturday 17th November.

    Lovin' the list Gildas, you're on the right tracks there. Hang by, I'll buy the Absinthe King Gold's!!

  13. Cheers Katonah. My pleasure!  I tried to avoid les basics (Poobli, The Edge, Cheshire Cat....) but I still forgot a lot (even though my purpose was to remain in the scope you set). 

    I forgot
    Nina S, Bobby H, Catalyst, Tribe, Fumio K, Duke P, Gene H, Marvin G, Ceasar F,  Curtis M, Quincy J, Roy A, JackMcD, Isao S, Romano M, Mtume (oh yeah it has to be there),
    lots of Black Jazz Records like The Awakening - Brand New Feeling....
    Tatsuya Takahashi - Maiden Voyage
    Tsuyoshi Yamamoto - Midnight Sugar ( for coffee set)
    Synthesis - Feeling
    Hubert Laws - Modadji
    Prince - every track from aftershows inc.  Joy in Repetition (OneNiteAlone...the Aftershow)
    Nathan Davis and his If LP 
    Noël Mc Ghié and his Trapeze LP
    James Brown - Public Enemy/Sunny/Mind Power
    John Coltrane - Acknowledgement/Resolution/Naima

    And above all I forgot 'In a Sentimental Mood' by Duke Ellington & John Coltrane

    Oh yeah, this type of event is definitly inspiring: so Jazz is not Dead, hey?

    Never Dead ! if we all believe. We all have 12mn to focus on something good. 

    This is all about FOCUS. If some wonderful people like you and Bacoso and Simon, Smooth, El Goog ja, Reza.....have decided to focus on loving/living/feeling/preserving/sharing Jazz, then we can all do that, each of us at  our own level. 

    STAY FOCUS les aficionados. Music is in a bad shape today (not only jazz). Mostly because of us. What shall happen in the near futur? Are we going to dig only 70' LP ? What shall I say to my kids ? Sorry we cannot go to Miles Davis concert, he is dead u know.  Gil Scott Heron ? Dead as well my sweetie. 'So daddy, you listen to Dead music, isn't it too sad?

    No. Cause there are still old cats alive + we can see young traiblazers like
     Robert Glasper + Chris Dave + Bilal
 ( here I speak about their live performance and not Black Radio LP which reduces their scope and just give a little bit of everything: Fusion is not mixing everything),

     José James (again I speak more about his live performance, check Nancy Jazz Pulsation), 

    Meshell  (not only deconstructing jazz, but her approach to musical art in its entirety),

    Roy Ayers, Herbie Hancock,...+  NDambi (when in jazz mood) QuestLoveRabiAbouKhalil Christian Scott

  19. beautiful track katonah, what 'tis it ?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Re: Super rare joint

    First : I am flattered
    Second: VERY nice indeed and DEEP for sure !
    Third: I second Simon: who is it ?

    >> As a tentative: It is either a hidden song from Mr Cochran or some obscur track from the "Tribe crew" (Ranelin, Harrisson..)

    Le me explain:
    -It sounds like Mr. Caliman but it is not
    -The drummer is very discrete, almost shy...
    -Some percussion siprit.

    But whoever it may be, the track is from a saxophone player or a keyboard player very tolerant about horns (!), who knew a lot about Rhodes and amazing arrangement, probably from 1972-73.

    ...Let me think again....

    - Maybe Hampton Hawes. But there would have been more bass, more groove.

    - Same with Hank Crawford (rhodes ok but not the same bass nor the same saxo tones)

    - It also looks like Johnny Hammond - Johnny Hammond - Who is Silvia. But it is much lighter

    - Sorry no further clue

    - So let me jump to the length of the track: 7mn23.

    In my MP3 collection, I have 11 songs of 7.23mn

    A fusion tune: Passport - Abracadabra
    A nu-soul track: John Legend - Ordinary People (live at HOB 2004)
    An Electronic Jazz feat Ovalsoul 7: The Society - How life
    A funky balad from Ed Motta - Amor E Saudade
    An All-star hiphop song : The West Coast Rap All-Stars - We're All In The Same Gang feat. Above The Law/Body and Soul/Def Jef/Digital Underground/Dr. Dre/Eazy-E/Ice-T/J.J. Fad/King Tee/MC Hammer/MC Ren/Michel'le/Oaktown's 3-5-7/Tone Loc/Young MC
    A laid-back fluty track : Harold Vick - Melody for Bu
    A killer no filler old New Orleans Jazz : Charles Mingus - Better Git in Your Soul
    A very average fusion track though featuring Hubert Laws on flute, Dave Liebman on sax, Eric Gale and Larry Coryell on guitar, Richard Tee on keyboards, Tony Dumas on bass and Leon "Ndugu" Chancler on drums, plus Eloise Laws on vocals !!! But really average : Aurex jazz Festival - Pablo's Story
    HOU!! Art Farmer 1977 - Sandu
    A rich funky Medley from Incognito at NSJF 2003 (there is nothing like this and more)
    A funky live jam from Prince - Sexy Dancer Monaco 2009

    (inc. sample from a live Released Nov 30, 1974 - though not amazing at all!!)

    Personel:

    Joel Chase (Electric Piano),
    Tom Ives (Electric Bass, Flugelhorn),
    Al Calone (Drums),

    Compass was organized and based from 1969 through 1973 in Oneonta where the group performed primarily in concert settings at colleges and universities, mostly in New York State. Compass performances feature both original compositions as well the works of many of Americas greatest jazz legends

    Definitly in the vein of Quincicasm...
