The Jazz Baroness
The Jazz Baroness
Documentary about the British Jewish baroness who fell in love with the jazz genius Thelonious Monk.
Nica, the Baroness de Koenigswarter, was a major supporter of jazz in New York in the 1950s and 60's, her home becoming a meeting point, unofficial rehearsal space and, above all, sanctuary for the leading jazz musicians of the time.
The drum kit (antique Gretsch) I used for some of the sessions for space was lent to me by Steven De Koeningswater, one of Nica's grandchildren. It belonged to his father, Clifford Jarvis who played with Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Freddie Hubbard to name but a few!
A beautiful and yet sad story of that fruitful but racially suppressed artistic era

Sun Ra "Calling Planet Earth"
As recommended to me by Michael Rutten, perhaps this will turn up in the emanative live set at some point?

remixes >>>>>soon
working on two emanative remixes this wk!! having a ball with them too. now the album is done and dusted and i've had a couple of wks to chill and catch up on some very necessary catching-ups.....it's nice to sink my teeth into some fresh music, the mixes are both SO different (ain't gonna tell ya 4 whom yet neither!)
The first has some nice and up-tempo jazz dance funkiness, but in an emanative stylee! slightly latin, a tad funk, and very jazz.
...the second is deffo on a downtempo jazz hip-hop tip (at the mo' anyways? we'll see)i'm equally excited about both mixes.
I had a chance to put down some live drums to tape for one of dem whilst recording for "When On Earth"....soon come (7" out sept!)
the other I'd already done some time ago...jazz bop hip-hop slow and low brushes!
;)
tempted to mention the vocalists........(but, i'll hold back in case i'm the only mutha who digs the tracks?)
Getting some nice plays with Turn Your Lights On I noticed today! Brother Scrimshire said in his podcast http://www.scrimshire.com/podcasts.html that it was maybe his fave tune of the year....what a dude!
He said that to me himself , but I thought he was just being polite?
Simon Harrison added it to his Nu-World mix 45!
http://www.basic-soul.co.uk/nu-world/ e.t.c.----------------
Very Nice!
the Petite Planete e.p. with all the good mixes/versions, will be up on i-tunes soon. think it's up already elsewhere?
All good...back to my mixes......
