Another classic episode of @tokyojazzjoints where

Another classic episode of @tokyojazzjoints where we continue up in northern Japan, including at two of my all time best spots, Octet in Yamagata and Royce in Iwate. Extra bonus chat about my temple climbing skills and @philiparneill has a fascinating take on Dublin traffic patterns. Don’t miss it!!

Episode 24: James auditions for the Northern Japan Tourist Board and boasts about his step count this week as we continue to bicker like an old couple on our trip up north. In the second part of this trilogy we visit the deceptively named Abbey Road, a couple of other cracking joints in Yamagata, and uncover a mysterious @roncarterbassist artefact, before being delivered by jazz joint taxi to the doorstep of the whole reason we started this northern journey in the

@kolradio1 New mix from France by Prezident Marko

@kolradio1
New mix from France by Prezident Markon!
1. Louise Jallu Quartet, 'À Genneviliers': This young devotee of tango and exponent of the bandonéon studied and now teaches at the Gennevilliers music conservatory. Taken from her very promising double album, Francesita, which came out in 2018.
2. Aquarela, 'Assanhado': Virtuoso oboe-player, Jean-Luc 'Oboman' Fillon's trio is enhanced by Brazilian percussionist, Zé Luis Nascimento, on this glorious album of mainly traditional Brazilian choro, A Bela Vida.
3. Kora Jazz Trio, 'Chan Chan', from Part III: A beautiful take on the Cuban classic from this West African trio of Djeli Moussa Diawara on kora, Abdoulayé Diabaté on piano and Moussa Cissoko on percussion.
4. El Comité, 'So What': The title track from Cuban pianist Harold Lopez-Nussa's band of young guns is an almost unrecognisable interpretation of the perennial Miles Davis favourite.
5. African Salsa Orchestra, 'Kongo Kandevie': Trombonist, vocalist and bandleader from Benin, Michel Pinheiro, contributes all 10 compositions on the orchestra's delightful self-titled debut album.
6. Diogal, 'Yene': Now based in France, this son of a Senegalese fisherman released his fifth album, Roadside, in 2018: a deceptively simply delight.
7. Magic Malik Orchestra, 'Marthe et Le Jungle': Flautist Malik Mezzadri is one of the brightest young stars on the French jazz scene. This track is taken from 2008's multi-faceted double album, Saoule.
8. Isthme, 'Mirages': And while on the subject of young French jazzers, here's the title track from the Parisian quintet's first album, released earlier this year.
9. United Colors of Méditerranée, 'Egyptian Dream, A Night in Cairo': A homage to 'A Night in Tunisia' taken from the 2018 album, Sirocco, in which Spanish, Middle-Eastern and gypsy influences abound with taste and distinction.
10. Akalé Wubé, 'Bazay': Their eponymous debut album from 2010 revealed this French quintet as the most convincing purveyors of Ethio-jazz outside Ethiopia. Little wonder that the legendary Girma Bèyènè would choose to record with them in 2017.
11. Yapunto!, 'Promesa': This Franco-Colombian 10-piece collective, fronted by

Classic episode of @tokyojazzjoints full of storie

Classic episode of @tokyojazzjoints full of stories about our trip up to northern Japan, including no-doubt top ten in Japan jazz spot Ray Brown, plus a picture showing the human cost of being a committed jazz joint explorer!
・・・
Episode 23: The first of a trilogy as we venture north to meet The Don and visit the Mecca of Japanese jazz joints. We see a different side to Fukushima before hitting Sendai to experience Count, Kelly and Kabo, and finish up in the middle of nowhere in the back of a taxi to uncover the incredible Ray Brown. Dropping today at 12pm GMT!

Sunday afternoon movie: ‘Vertigo’ by Hitchcock

Sunday afternoon movie: ‘Vertigo’ by Hitchcock. Hadn’t seen it for 20+ years, and..wow.. Dark, dreamlike, creepy, so beautifully shot, Jimmy Stewart, Kim Novak, dysfunction, obsession, murder, guilt, devastating. All time great soundtrack, 100% masterpiece. #film #films #movies #Vertigo #alfredhitchcock #classicfilms
