A Touch of Jazz
Since I haven't been playing too many jazz tunes lately, I wanted to slip a few into this episode. Unfortunately, since they can run long, I only fit in two tracks, but don't worry, they're GRRRREAT! The first half is all over the map, then in the second half I get to the jazz. The first jazz tune I play is Frank Foster, which is a big flowing funky moving tune, with a sweet vocal intro by the excellent Dee Dee Bridgewater. After that comes Pharoah Sanders with a monster of a tune - You've Got to Have Freedom, from his double LP Journey to the One. I've been listening to my mp3 of this for a while now, but just lately got the vinyl, so I'm very pleased to play it on the show. Great vocals, powerful saxophone blasts... just an amazing song, and it's from 1980! So, some sweet jazz, and tonnes of other great tunes - check the Zanini!
PS - I'm playing at the BOAT in Kensington Market, Toronto, this Friday June 22nd, with pals David Ng & Young Flux - if you're in TO, come say hello!
