Space Oddity - Choir Choir  Choir          ............A tribute concert can be a tricky proposition, as Bowie himself discovered with his much-derided recital of the Lord's Prayer at the 1992 Freddie Mercury memorial at Wembley. Yet, the tone at Radio City was dignified and true to Bowie's questing spirit. Jazz fusionist Esperanza Spalding evoked the singer's high-soaring derring-do with her sci-fi tilt at If You Can See Me while a feverish interpretation of Blackstar (by Amanda Palmer, Anna Calvi and Jherek Bischoff) acknowledged the fascinating music Bowie was making right until the end. Not everyone plunged so deeply and darkly, with Mumford and Sons and Blondie bashing out straight-forwardly emotive readings of It Ain't Easy and Heroes.

Time Heals

Time Heals (feat. Keyon Harold, Derrick Hodge, Chris Dave, Mike Aaberg & Errol Cooney)

Since his desperately early death in May 1997, there's been an inevitable mythologising about the life and music of Jeff Buckley. Perhaps it's not surprising that in the posthumous rush to acknowledge his genius, memories have been clouded or, retrospectively, given a silver lining.

The quiet, uncertain foundations of his reputation were laid on a solo tour of Europe three years earlier, in March 1994 - and, in particular, during one day. On the 18th March, Buckley was scheduled for a photo shoot (with Kevin Westenberg), an appearance on BBC GLR and his first proper London concert, at a folk club called Bunjies.

In 'The Grace of Jeff Buckley', those who were there speak for the first time about the man and his music: Buckley's American manager Dave Lory, his UK tour manager Steve Abbott, booking agent Emma Banks and photographer Kevin Westenberg share intimate memories that have so far not featured in the Buckley biography.

And the programme also includes rare archive: the GLR radio session that has not been heard since that live broadcast in 1994 - including an astonishing version of 'Grace' - and, exclusively, a private interview that Buckley recorded on the eve of this tour but decided not to release.

Together, these glimpses offer a portrait of a young man whose voice and musicianship, as well as his irresistible charisma and the trauma of his early death, touched millions.

Produced by Alan Hall.

The Harvest Time Project: A Tribute to Pharoah Sanders
Sunday, March 24, 2024
Knoxville, TN @ Knoxville Civic Auditorium - Big Ears Festival - 1:30pm

02. ?Memories of Edith Johnson? > drums > Love Will Find A Way

The Harvest Time Project:
Laraaji - vocals
Sheila Maurice-Grey - trumpet & vocals
Austin Williamson - drums
Joshua Abrams - double bass
Tisziji Munoz - guitar
John Medeski - piano & organ

Schoeps MK4 > Baby NBox > Zoom H6 essential 
Recorded by Funk It Blog (from 2nd row center)
with patches from Joel Berk's Zoom H1n source (first 4 minutes, plus 16 patches)

Notes: My Big Ears 2024 recordings did not come out as I had hoped, due to a triple threat of technical snafu's. Long story short, don't try out new cables/setups/adaptors without a test run. I switched from the CMC1KV bodies to active cables at the last minute without a test run. I wanted to run 32bit float so I wouldn't have to worry about levels and could be more present, but I forgot to tell the cable maker that I needed XLR in instead of 1/8, so I bought some cheap adaptors that left me with left channel drop outs. I also went line in instead of mic in, so my levels were extremely low and I didn't realize it until I got home. Anyway, this recording still sounds pretty good even though it had to be amplified, turned into "fake stereo / dual mono" and about 16 short skips had to be patched.

Tracklist: http://bit.ly/roy-ayers-75

Celebrating the 75th birthday of Mr Roy Ayers with this mix, showcasing some of my favourite tracks from his slightly lesser known material… Well, I mean compared to tracks like Everybody 
Loves The Sunshine, Searching, We Live In Brooklyn, Running Away, Love Will Bring Us Back Together…

I also hear new stuff that I hadn’t noticed before when I listen to his music - the track with Jack Wilson that opens the mix up is so heavy and cosmic for its time, and I’d forgotten about the track with Wayne Henderson! There are so many great albums out there including the 2 Virgin Ubiquities BBE put out... We could devote a whole week of radio programmes to Roy, his archive is so large… 

He is the key to all things between jazz, soul, disco and hip hop…. Thank you roy for all the music...
