Interviews

Following Muriel Grossmann, Nat Birchall, Chip Wicham and fellow Frenchman Florian Pellissier, I am thrilled to welcome another of my favorite contemporary jazz musicians: Matthew Halsall!

Label manager of Gandwana Records (Portico Quartet, Hania Rani, Dwight Trible Allysha Joy, …), Matthew dove into this guest session alternating between spiritual and free jazz of Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane, Don Cherry, Donald Byrd, McCoy Tyner, Yusef Lateef with some newer future jazz classics like his  Gondwana Orchestra and fellow UK jazz greats Wildflower.

As for me, I put together a mix in two parts. An introduction with spiritual jazz and ambient touches starting with Floating Points' project with Pharoah Sanders. Closing out the show with more dynamic sounds of Jazz Fusion and Broken Beat to close out with an incredible new track from the STR4TA project!

Enjoy !

We're back with a really special guest for this edition of MFT. The legendary German digger and DJ, behind the famous compilations Glücklich and Soulgliding: Rainer Trüby!

For the section of the show, I selected a few future jazz classics I discovered recently, including some great spiritual jazz like Kahil El'Zabar Quartet and some Jazzy Hip Hop like the last project by Elzhi & Georgia Anne Muldrow. Enjoy the great Dorothy Ashby’s cover «Soul Vibrations » by Alina Bzhezhinska and the previously extract from the new Kyoto Jazz Sextet album "Watarese"

For the second part Rainer Trüby put together a great mix of deep Jazz with under the radar tracks by Jaco Pastorius, Khan Jamal, Carmen McRae, Morrissey Mullen and Lesette Wilson. You can find here too some forgotten jazz tracks by Özay, Bruno Spoerri and Noriko Miyamoto With Isao Suzuki !

A pure jazz pleasure I hope you'll enjoy.

Ahead of his forthcoming 'FORMAT' album, dropping May 18th on The Vinyl Factory, Trevor Jackson came by the Brownswood Basement for an in-depth chat.

A decade in the making, Trevor discusses how 'FORMAT' came about, his graphic design career, growing up as the London club scene emerged, his role in Output, releasing early Four Tet and LCD Soundsystem, right through to talking about the state of club culture and his beloved London, today.

JONNY NASH - SANPO 014

Ahead of their first live show at St Pancras Old Church on Friday,  here's a chat I had with the two boys from LV, Will and Simon, discussing their beginnings, their D&B period, linking up with Keysound and Hyperdub, working with Joshua Idehen, Omkalumkoolkat, and the new project featuring Armenian pianist, Tigran Hamasyan. 

Ancient Mechanisms’ is the fourth album by globetrotting London production duo LV. It traces a train of thought that was sparked by a live session with Tigran Hamasyan back in 2012: two and a half years down the line and a trip to Belgium later, the finished record is as much about the workings of musical artefacts as it is about putting the virtuoso pianist into new contexts.

Gilles Peterson remembers great artists who have passed in the last year with his annual RIP Mix for Worldwide Awards 2020.

Gilles Peterson: Worldwide Awards 2020 RIP Mix

This mix was made on April 8th, 2020 in isolation during the COVID-19 outbreak. I had been missing the experience of record shopping, so I decided to look through records I already had on my shelves, and find some good soul songs I had either ignored or glossed over. Hope you enjoy!
