SPIRITS HIGH ABOVE III  a spiritual jazz not jazz breaks mix by Tom Wieland

WARNING: this mix is definitly not suitable for your average lounge. Some heavy listening free jazz is thrown in for good measure :)

SPIRITS HIGH ABOVE IV  Jazz meets the world  . 

Tom Wieland (7 Samurai, free soul inc.) digs a lil deeper: 
black forrest´s SABA records ,Ernst Joachim Berendt,World Jazz, Sound Voyage & beyond.

During the 1960´s German Jazz Pope ,journalist,writer  & producer Ernst Joachim Bernendt stepped across the Jazz border to extend german and european post bop jazz. A festival series in Berlin and nowadays highly in demand vinyl LP releases under the "Jazz meets the world" series name on the mythical black forrest label SABA records marked the arrival of "proto" world music . Japan, Tunesia, Bali, Spain, Brazil, Africa,Switzerland went Jazz ala Kraut.
Pioneer  and " testing ground" for Berendt was german Jazz Trombonist Albert Mangesdorff who went  in  1964 on tour to Asia, and recorded after that his landmark modal album " Now Jazz Ramwong" based on Asian folk songs . 
Searching for new sounds arround  the world (and working together with  musicians from all arround  the globe) almost became a mantra for the more open minded german musicians in the following decades  from Kraut Rock & to New Wave  and this is what my ( & Niko Schabels of Radio Citizen) new project SOUND VOYAGE is all about. 
21s Century Future World Jazz,that I smuggled into this mix.
https://soundvoyage1.bandcamp.com/releases

So what happened to Berendt? In the late 80´s  he donated his heavy weight jazz collection to the  Jazz Institute Darmstadt and relocated to the island of Gomera where he went esoteric and became one of the most prolific writers of the scene with his book " Nada Brama - the world is sound". He tragically died on the way to a new book presentation in Feb. 2000 in Hamburg in a traffic tram  accident crossing a red light.

Feel free to discover some more stories about Berendt,the jazz meets the world series and SABA records in this highly recommended book from Melbourne based author Andrew Hurley.

I was recently asked to play at a good friends significant birthday party.
So I dusted off my decks and loaded my record boxes with some funk.
This is what it sounded like.
All 45's in this 1st hour (2nd part to follow).
Hope you enjoy.

I haven't done a serious mix in a while and somehow it ended up being a blend of melancholy blues, swing and heaps of tropical courtesy of some of my favourite producers at the moment. 

The last time I did a mix I was still using vinyl so I wanted to experiment with sorting one out entirely digitally. It's not as easy as it should be...mostly just difficult keeping the quality up after having had to rerecord MP3s at altered tempos for the mixes. If any of the artists featured in the mix feel like sending me full wavs or aifs of their tunes then I'd be delighted to slot them back in at higher quality. Here's the tracklist.


Kinka - Totala Dub
Palov & Panama Cardoon – Basmati Rice
Kazamatsuri Kenta – Alasca
Muddy Waters feat Automato – Walk into the Blues (Grant Lazlo Rmx)
Monetrik - Blues Soup (Due for release on Freshly Squeezed on 17th Feb 2013)
Grant Lazlo – Une Histoire de Photo
Palov meets Ang Angelides – Movin Next Door
Los Chicos Altos – Palenque Barcelona
Dynamite MC – Shake (Senor Griff’s sambaragga rmx)
