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)

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!"

My favorite pianist Ahmad Jamal passed away at the age of 92 yesterday (16-4-23). Ahmad is considered as one one of the most influential jazz musicians of all-time. His first album came out in 1955 and in 2017 he released the magnificent album Marseille. In this mix I have put my favorite tracks by him including  Poinciana, The Awakening, Patterns, Swahililand, Waves, the funky track Boatride, a great version of Feeling Good, ending with Marseille and much more. Ahmad will be missed!

Café Libanon Series Vol. 1 - Helmut Cool

Devil's Pie is honored to present to you a tribute of jazz living legend Herbie Hancock by Mark de Clive-Lowe, one of today's contemporary musical masters. More than a regular DJ mix, this live recording features Mark looping, remixing, and adding his own musicianship to Herbie's iconic music.

In Mark de Clive-Lowe's own words:
"The first time I heard Herbie Hancock was the Miles live album My Funny Valentine/Four and More. It was the first time I'd heard that era jazz music and I remember being so blown away with the way Herbie and Tony Williams played together and interacted on that concert. That was the start of a deep admiration and love for the art, creativity and music of Herbie Hancock. I consumed everything I could that he turned his hand to - all of his work with Miles, his own solo records for Blue Note, sideman recordings with every jazz great in every decade since the 60s, his Mwandishi experimental crossover work, the Headhunters deep funk - there's nothing the man could not do. As a pianist he's the ultimate - harmonically so rich and inventive, melodically so lyrical, rhythmically so damn hip. I've been fortunate to see him play on numerous occasions all over the world. The first time was the VSOP band live in Japan along with Wayne Shorter, Wallace Roney, Ron Carter and Tony Williams. I was 17 at the time and can't really fully explain how amazing that was to me. He's one of my biggest inspirations and influences and through his huge body of work, a true musical mentor. In being asked to put together a tribute set, it was the perfect opportunity to go back through decades of his work and pick moments that I really love. I wanted to do more than just spin a set of tunes though, I wanted to take those moments and sample them, flip them, perform a live mixtape. It was the perfect way to share the man's music and how I feel about it. Enjoy!"

Recorded live on June 17, 2015 at Lock & Key Bar, Los Angeles.
