Jazz Flow

HI everybody, I’m very proud for this 32nd My Favorite Things Show to have has guest my dear friend Julia Weck from Sao Paulo (Brazil), and trust me it wasn’t easy  (Joke) !

Julia is a young DJ and Record enthusiast who has been featured as DJ in jazz and music festivals in her home town and is frequently seen playing in local clubs. She is also member of the women crew Cremosa Vinil and is one of the co-founders of the collective Uh! Manas TV.

As usual I have opened the show with my last recent Digging tracks with a deep and fusion flavour like the come back of « JD73 », the new EP of « The Sultan's Swing » and the fantastic new album of « Tamil Rogeon ». Between two Jazz is Dead albums, the prolific Adrian Younge has founded the time to delivered a new project with a BLM athmosphere called « American Negro ». his « Margaret Garner » is one of my personal favorite track from this one. before the Great Hour of Julia, i have finised my first part with the live cover of J-Dilla bossa nova masterpiece by Azymuth and the main theme of the last Disney Picture focused on Soul and JAzz Music by Jon Batiste.

For his 1H00 mix, Julia has started by a great Library tune from the Trinidadian-American multi instrumentalist George Semper. After some lovely Soul gliddings, including the cover of Donald Byrd « Wind Parade » by Jordan Rakei and the recent re-issue of the Bridge with the track « Stella », Julia has done a powerfull Boogie Jazz Seccion with Incognito, Pleasure and one of my Favorite Tune « Time » by Light of The World.

To Finish this Big Show, I have played the Unreleased Long Version of Gary Bartz Anthem, the well known here « Music is my Sanctuary » and some brand new nuggets like the lasts Kaidi Tatham and Tall Black Guy and a lovely Master Soul Boy.

Enjoy !

MY FAVORITE THINGS — Show #32 w/ Julia Weck (Hosted by Psycut)

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 !

MY FAVORITE THINGS — Show #33 w/ Matthew Halsall (Hosted by Psycut)

The ‘Abroad EP’ catalogues a period of time spent travelling Japan in the spring of 2019. Throughout the course of the month-long trip, Rudy carried around a portable recorder, capturing various sounds that caught his ear. That collection of found sounds would eventually become the foundation for the EP, each track utilizing a handful of different recordings ranging from bird calls in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park, to windchimes in the coastal town of Kawazu. The EP took a full year of patient, daily work to complete, during which time Rudy invited a diverse group of collaborators in to help finish the songs. Throughout the recording process, harp, saxophone, and violin parts were added to create a unique blend of organic and electronic sounds.

24 Hours of Vinyl (2021, Montreal) — SEB FAUTEUX

Hi Everybody, for the 35th edition of the My Favorite Things Show I’m very happy to welcome, two brothers from Parisian suburbs: Mojazz and Azgroove. 

One is specialist in Jazz music, the other one is a great Funk Lover. It was for me very logical to focus this brand new show on the Jazz funk Music. As usual I have opening the show with some of my last digging tracks with 4 downtempo lovely nuggets.

Then the two have selected 20 masterpieces of jazz funk and fusion jazz, mainly from the 70’s (including some forgotten treasures from George Duke, Ben Sidran, Jimmy Owens, Eddie Harris, …) as well as a few future classics like the great MF Doom Cover by the Soul Supreme and the UK Jazz Funk Band The Expansions.

Enjoy !

From DJ Psycut:

"I first met the founder of our favorite website back in 2013 when I booked him in Paris for his very first “Club Jazz” gig for an incredible edition of the Jazz Attitudes night. From that meeting was born our collaboration on MIMS as well as gigs where we share the same love and curiosity for music.

True to his trademark, Lexis put together a mix sharing many different tastes and influences, this time diving into 90’s jazz-nujazz-triphop treasures like The Sonic Family, Peshay and Up, Bustle & Out. The middle sees a couple jazzy older gems like South Africa’s Teaspoon Ndelu and the calypso Jazz of Rupert Clemendore. He closes out his mix with a few of his favorite Broken Beat x Jazz revisions like Art Blakey revisited by EVM 128 and Carlos Garett revised by Kyoto Jazz Massive and Moonstarr. That and a few more joints!"

The sixth installment of trumpeter/arranger/producer/bandleader Todd Simon’s #JazzOn45 series focuses on some classics found within the genre. For the return of Wax Poetics, Todd has put together some of the more well-known gems found on 7-inch vinyl. Thanks to artists such as Kamasi Washington and Sons of Kemet, we have seen a newly found resurgence of this incredibly expressive and beautiful art form worldwide. Whether you are fairly new to digging into Jazz, or well-versed in it, you will enjoy listening to these selections at 45 rpm. Note that certain selections from this include both sides edited together.

We are excited to premiere the beautiful and epic "Child - Part IV" by London's incredible Levitation Orchestra, forthcoming on Gearbox Records.

We swooped at the opportunity to premiere one of our favourite cuts from the forthcoming album by  Levitation Orchestra on Gearbox Records. We have been HUGE fans since their debut LP on Astigmatic and their phenomenal live show at London's Church of Sound.

Founded in 2018 by trumpet player & musical director Axel Kaner-Lidstrom, Levitation Orchestra was formed with the shared goal to create original suites of music completely collectively. A large, ever-changing ensemble, abundant in energy & focus, their captivating compositions truly come to life in the band's explosive live performances.


Words from Levitation Orchestra: "Child part IV" is the final part of a suite of music about childhood, lineage and loss. We were wrestling with illusions and realities around our perceptions of ourselves and how we could be just a grain of sand in a desert or a single thread in the ever-growing tapestry of the universe. But perhaps, through ancestry and dependency we could be linked with a greater cycle of being. How connected are we to those who came before and who will come after? "Part IV", the culmination of the suite, brings forward motifs of bright, new life, and sorrow and loss. Two parts of the cycle that are inextricably interwoven."

"Child - Part IV" is released on September 22nd. The album, 'Illusions & Realities', sees release on double-LP vinyl (including a limited Japanese edition with obi strip), CD and digital, on October 29.
