Charles 'Don' Alias (December 25, 1939 in New York City – March 29, 2006 in New York City) was an American jazz percussionist.

Alias was best known for playing congas and other hand drums. He was, however, a capable drum kit performer: for example, Alias played drums on the song "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" from trumpeter Miles Davis's album Bitches Brew (1969) when neither Lenny White nor Jack DeJohnette were able to play the marching band-inspired rhythm requested by Davis.

Alias performed on hundreds of recordings, and was perhaps best known for his associations with Miles Davis and Jaco Pastorius , though he also performed or recorded with the group Weather Report, singer Joni Mitchell, pianist Herbie Hancock, the Brecker Brothers, Pat Metheny, Nina Simone and many others. 

Alias was born in New York City and arrived in Boston in the early 1960s intending to study medicine but, after playing congas in a number of local bands, made an abrupt career switch.

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection. 
I started buying records when I moved to Athens, one decade ago. Now, I moved back to Crete an Island at the south of Greece. The living is nice but the record stores apart the traditional ones are hard to find here. Thus, most of my collectable records are combined with my trips. I am also a DJ/producer, so the records I choose are chosen because I know that I can make use of them in my production or on stage. 

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.
Main reason I love the 45s is that I get a slight better quality at the sound and the groove of the record. Moreover, as a dj, I am really into their portability , easy peasy in my travel record bag.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?
The selection for the 45/7 mix I did is coming from vinyls I collected from a trip to puerto rico. I searched in numerous stores for them and for me this mixtape is giving the picture of their music, culture, daily life and recalls memories from my experience there.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

White Tiger Lyrics
 
Freedom of Creation Ecstatic Celebration
white tigers in the sky
a bridge between yours and mine

the common place, the true divine

between these swells where two waves meet
we swim and dive and kill and die
mastery enfolds it’s prey inside

twixt pain and fear, laughter and mirth
oh I believe you, please say that forever
roll over and over, before into never

this passion so ghosted, alive in a mist
a nuclear explosion unleashed in a kiss
freedom of creation ecstatic celebration

white tigers in the sky

heed and devour the invitation
implode through the torus of no return
immersed in a white blindness
I knew what was there to know

through elastic barriers of darkness
moving inside what I am and will be

my God are you here, at my feet, on your knees
I’ll sink through the floor, 
please...please... please...
oh, and, what was your name again

Freedom of Creation Ecstatic Celebration
white tigers in the sky

Lightning Orchestra - White Tiger (Radio Edit)

Formed back in the heady days of 1987 at the start of the ‘acieed’ explosion, Acid Jazz was the first of the groundbreaking new indie labels and paved the way for the likes of Mo Wax, Wall Of Sound and Talkin' Loud…

Initially a simple bedroom operation established by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson, within three months of the first 45 release (Galliano’s Frederic Lies Still), the label had grown rapidly, acquired premises in London’s east end and laid out a unique manifesto of alternative club sounds – jazz, street-soul, funk, latin, reggae and jazz poetry all put in an early appearance. Galliano, Chris Bangs, The Night Trains, The Last Poets, A Man Called Adam and Snowboy & The Latin Section were amongst the first wave of label signings and they all appeared live at groundbreaking jazz themed nights at London clubs like the WAG in Soho and Camden’s legendary Dingwalls.





By ’89, Peterson had left the label to establish his own Talking Loud imprint and Piller soon moved the operation to Denmark Street, London’s original Tin Pan Alley, into the former EMI music office. The next wave of signings included D Influence, Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies. Chart success quickly followed as the label spread its numerous tentacles around the world. The sound of the label became the name of choice for the scene that had established in its wake and by the early ’90s, Acid Jazz was booming out of a succession of speakers from Sweden to Singapore, Hamburg to Hobart, Shibuya to Sheffield and everywhere in between. International tours followed as the label expanded through the 90′s, gradually increasing their musical influences to include daisy-age hip hop, garage psyche and trip hop.





By the mid-90′s Acid Jazz had revived the careers of legends like Terry Callier, Brian Auger and Gregory Isaacs, established three subsidiaries (Focus, All Seeing Eye and Roots to cater for progressive indie, drum and bass and roots and culture respectively) and signed yet another wave of successful independent artists which included the likes of Corduroy, Mother Earth, The Humble Souls, Goldbug and a dozen more.





In 1994, the label took the plunge and opened the first ‘non-house’ based night club in London. Based on the site of the Bass Clef, a down-at-heel and eventually semi-derelict jazz club in Hoxton – perched precariously amidst the second world war bomb sites, derelict buildings and culture-free zone, the club was credited with paving the way for the whole Hoxton/Shoreditch explosion of the late nineties. Indeed, the club was rarely less than full seven nights a week hosting events from the likes of Goldie’s Metalheads, Talvin Singh, Coldcut, Ab-ashanti, Athletico and the label’s own Magic Bus. The Blue Note closed its doors at the end of the decade and Acid Jazz went back to what they do best: releasing records.

Jumping forward to 2014 and we find the label firmly ensconced in their office at the top of Brick Lane and after celebrating their 25th Anniversary the label is as vibrant and vital as ever. The current roster includes the critically acclaimed, prog folk fusions of Matt Berry, new indie hopefuls Dexters, the soul meet the Streets stylings of New Street Adventure and ex Bluetones lead singer Mark Morriss, whilst the highly acclaimed Rare Mod series has discovered and released previously unknown works by everyone from The Riot Squad featuring David Bowie to the Small Faces Steve Marriott.

In short after over a quarter of a century Acid Jazz remains one of the UK’s most important independent labels.
