The one who brings light is also to invite darkness. For cast light breeds shadow. We must alchemize these seeming opposites.

Hi everybody we’re back with a very special guest: Manu Boubli, the co-owner of Superfly Records and the guy who has introduced me to deep spiritual Jazz 15 years ago.

For this 27th show I started the first half of the mix with only Future Classics with the lovely spiritual tunes by Asher Gamedze, Phi-Psonics, Raffy Bushman, Cool Affair & Sisonke Xonti  and Tenderlonious. Also, the contemporary ambient jazz of Hania Rani and the brand new brazil flavored sound from Caixa Cubo, Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge feat Azymuth and A Bossa Elétrica for a killer Roy Ayers’ Cover.

Manu Boubli chose a great selection of his “favorite things” featuring some forgotten and very rare spiritual jazz nuggets from Catalyst , The Lightmen Plus One, Brother Ah, Ayizan, Jack Wilkins , Steve Colson Unity and Sun Ra And His Outer Space Arkestra. For all the jazz dancers you can find the killer tune from David Wertman Sun Ensemble “Forrest Dance”, what a Tune!

Coincidentally, as Nat Birchall did for My Favorite Things Vol 26, Manu opened his set from a deep reggae track from Count Ossie & The Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari, definitely a must have record. Enjoy!

Hi Everybody, we're almost at the last edition "My Favorite Things" show of this very strange year. 

Show #29 has a very particular flavor cause I’m very happy to receive my favorite Parisian DJ : Emanuela De Luca. To welcome this very special guest, I started the show with a very special track from 1957 by a legendary french singer on a lovely jazz melody. As usual I have selected some of my last favorite diggings like the great cover of the huge spiritual jazz theme  "The Creator Has a Master Plan" by Dezron Douglas & Brandee Younger, a track from the last fusion album from Byron the Aquarius, the brand new Jimi Tenor and Kokoroko and the fabulous Sun Palace’s Edit from Moodymann on BBE. To complete my personal part, here are two lovely soul nuggets : Arthur "So close to you" with its folk attitude and the 1st reissue of the Brand New Kev Beadle Label by Dianne Mower "The Secret Sign".

The Emanuela’s mix starts with some Soul Jazz Gliding including a very actual track called « I'll sing from my window » from O'Donel Levy … if you follow what I mean !!! Her mix carries on with some great deep and mellow tunes by Eiji Nakayama, Noe's Jazz Ensemble, Tom Scott & the L.A. Express, Catalyst  and the italian Sestetto Dino Piana & Oscar Valdambrini. Gradually the selection goes into some wicked fusion Jazz Dancefloor including Ryo Kawasaki (RIP), Boy Katindig and the anthem "Sombre Guitar" by Danser's Inferno.

Enjoy !!!
