Touching Bass w/ Nath Eps 170224

A Jazz session with the Pocket apprentice 

The pocket apprentice, aka Harry Shi, is a multidisciplinary scholar and artist from Beijing, China. Currently, he lives in London, attending the BA programme of Social Anthropology and International Relations at SOAS, working part-time as a photographer, stylist, and digital market analyst. Back home in Beijing, he is also an active event organiser, DJ, dancer, and archivist of house music and jazz music. 

The name Pocket Apprentice is his tribute to all the great musicians, dancers, and DJs for being in the pocket and inspiring dancers to move within it. In humbleness to these greats and the club culture, Harry felt that learning how to feel and be in the pocket would be an endless process, hence the name of the Pocket apprentice.

For this two-hour vinyl set, the pocket apprentice featured his most recent inspirations, legends from the bebop and hard bop era with some Latin twists. The agenda of this set is to showcase how the feel of “swing” has been redefined by polyrhythmic musicians (drummers in particular).
Starting with Don Menza, Thelonious Monk, then Sonny Rollins playing Dizzy Gillespie’s iconic composition “A Night in Tunisia”. Followed by the Cuban Percussionist Mongo Santamaria, who masterfully made the transition between 3/4 to 4/4 times. After a short break with the sweet sounds of the Lee Morgan Quartet, “Philly” Joe Jones and Charlie “Persip” would introduce you to Elvin Jones’ “Heavy Hit!” an underrated Japanese recording with the Jazz Machine. Coming in with more polyrhythms, this time on the piano, Señor Blues is a 12/8 from the Horace Silver Quintet, channelling their inner Duke Ellington with this dark, exotic Latin arrangement. Also, on the piano, Dave Brubeck Quartets playing Paul Desmond’s composition “Take Five” would prepare you for a rather dubious track of Elvin Jones. Moving on to Gerry Mulligan, one of the greatest jazz orchestrators, would give you a taste of cool jazz. Then entering the funky town, with Horace Silver’s interpretation of Eddie Jefferson’s “Psychedelic Sally” and “Hohai-Bushi” by Kiyoshi Yamaya & Kifu Mitsuhashi (Shakuhachi). Last but not least Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers would close wind you down before Duke Ellington accompanies the final three numbers with Jonny Hodges.
