Just fiddling around again - this time to George Gershwin's 'A Foggy Day'

It aint great but I did it to get into Yanzii's http://soundcloud.com/groups/cumulus group - hopefully:)

In the middle it's just a duo with the drums and organ comping the chords and the bass line, just to show the bare bones.....

083 - A Foggy Day - Gershwin (Jazz Organ Trio) - 320kbps

This is a great number written by Afro-Cuban Latin jazz percussionist Mongo Santamaria.

I hope you like my groove to it. I've put an ocarina on the top line which seems to give it a Peruvian feel to the sound. String Bass and fender rhodes for the groove, and........ umm............. a hip hop beat:)

ROSE MITCHELL baby please don´t go LOU DONALDSON I`ts your thing

Today's premiere comes from Brownswood KOKOROKO and their rhythmic track 'Adwa'. 

The band’s name is an Orobo – a Nigerian tribe and language – word meaning ‘be strong’. Sonically living up to their name, Kokoroko are an all star band featuring leading lights from the London jazz community. Powered by seismic horn section (Maurice Grey, saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, trombonist Richie Seivewright), guitar (Oscar Jerome), keys (Yohan Kebede), drums (Ayo Salawu) and percussion (Onome Ighmare); Kokoroko are on a mission to fashion new languages using the medium of afrobeat.

Adwa opens deep-ridge grooves. Drawing from the syncopated funk of Ethio-jazz, it takes its name from the Ethiopian city of the same name. Composed by keyboardist Yohan Kebede, the victorious spirit of the track is a meditation not only on the infamous Battle of Adwa, but of the way societies evolve in the aftermath of conflict.

To buy the full EP check out their Bandcamp here:

Premiere: KOKOROKO 'Adwa'

The Movers, a South African band active mainly during the 1970s with a shifting lineup over a career that saw them release about 20 albums. Their music is a mix of jive, jazz and disco.

JOE LEWANDOWSKI - HUGH MASEKELA [AFRO BEAT BLUES EDIT]

Hi, I'm a keys player and I like making up grooves to existing jazz and latin standards. Over the last few years I've been mainly working on original numbers.

It's just me in the music you hear, I play all the parts off a keyboard recording in midi and layer up into the finished version.

I started playing the piano as a kid , then took up the trombone and played for fun in various local amateur bands and orchestras. Then at 18 went to college and didn't do anything  musically  for many years. Started playing the saxophone and tuba more recently, and in the last four years or so got back into the keyboard which is now my main instrument.

I like making up jazzy  late night music & music you can listen to when travelling. Sounds like a strange thing but I find the most enjoyable part of a holiday is the travelling part, whether that's on a plane , train or even a car on a quiet road with some nice views. Looking through a window with a changing view, in a bubble of suspended time between two worlds, that's what travelling feels like to me, and I like to write music that sounds that way - http://soundcloud.com/markd54321/361-stolen-moments-320kbps . Can't really explain it any better than that for now. Cheers Mark
