Welcome to the 2nd Volume of the Jazz Room series compiled by DJ legend and label owner Paul Murphy.

Following on from the success of the original Jazz Room compilation released by BBE in 2019 Paul has compiled a double vinyl volume of Jazz dance tracks that range from heavy funk of New Orleans to Latin grooves and contemporary jazz from the new generation.
Tracks written by Dizzy Gillespie sit with those from the musical pens of Raul Monsalve and Fela Kuti.

Paul's own label, Jazz Room Records, specialises in re-issues and it is his expertise in finding the rare and the obscure and matching with the new and the fresh that creates the joy filled atmosphere on this compilation.

This album really is as much for the party people as it it for the headz and links the audiences from his legendary gigs in the 1970s and 80s at the Electric Ballroom, 100 Club and The Blue Note to those at his current appearances at Spiritland, Shiftless Shuffle and
Brilliant Corners.

Indeed, among the rarities and the global rhythms in this collection are some excellent cover versions of tracks from the aforementioned Fela Kuti, The Stranglers, Azymuth and The Human League (yes, The Human League). What Paul Murphy has done here is compile a selection of tracks that could easily be a DJ club set, a soundtrack to a party, a Summer festival highlight or a night of music appreciation with a favourite tipple and partner.

The Jazz Room Volume 2 is a must have compilation and, along with Volume 1, is a masterpiece of music curation.

Once known as a techno city, Berlin has quietly become the capital for jazz bands in recent years. While the queues in front of the techno clubs become shorter and shorter, the city is slowly converting into a melting pot for all sorts of musicians and artists with amazing instrumentalists, producers and bands from all over the world moving to the German capital to create a new scene. As a result, Berlin has come out with some of the craziest, non-conformist types of music. Toy Tonics sister label Kryptox has started to establish itself as a key platform for this new scene.

One of the protagonists of this scene is Joel Holmes, the former band leader of Carl Craig's synthesizer ensemble and keyboarder of (Grammy-nominated) cult band Roy Hargrove. Joel Holmes’ new album ‘Into The Abyss’ is a perfect capturing of the current moment in Berlin. The album features other main players of its new scene such as Ziggy Zeitgeist from Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, as well as tapping into international talent such as acclaimed flutist Tenderlonious from London.

Few people bridge the gap between jazz and electronic music as successfully as Holmes. Over the past years, he’s been working with some of jazz’s most relevant artists, incl. Roy Hargrove, Curtis Fuller, Javon Jackson, Nnenna Freelon, Curtis Lundy and Jimmy Cobb. Once tapped into electronic music too, he made records with legends such as Carl Craig. Working with techno artists made him curious about the new dance scene, resulting in his moved to Berlin, where he quickly started making music with the likes of Cody Currie and Kapote.

Joel describes the album in his own words as follows: "The next album "Into the Abyss" is the first time I recorded music through the lens of different landscapes and on 2 different continents reflecting the times of today’s music that is mirroring what is happening in our communities and worlds today. From dark colors to light, music is so diverse, and I tried to reflect this in my album. This is also the first time I have had this many special guests on an album. So I’m excited about this."

Album released: 05.05.23

I had so much fun playing this 5 hour journey at KAIF Lounge, one of my favorite places on the tropical island I call home.

Highlights:

- Many songs from James Bond movies and other spy films
- Lots of Bossanova, Jazz, Brazilian, Afro-Latin, Trip-Hop, Instrumental Hip-Hop, RnB, Funk, Reggae, Calypso, Cumbia, and other genres and styles
- Brazilian covers of a few well-known songs
- I really enjoy playing a few versions of the same song
- My own remix of "Iansa ma virgem", a sweet Brazilian song
 

Played live at Kaif Lounge in Chaloklum, Koh PhaNgan 08.03.23

Gratitude to Ewa Ji the manager, and Andrew the owner, who are both a pleasure to work with, and give me full freedom with what I play.

With just two single releases under their belt to date, the Jakarta based trio Batavia Collective have made an instant splash on the music scene with their infectious brand of neo-jazz fuelled funk, finding a highly receptive audience in the process.

On their latest ‘BTCV’ EP, released on genre shifting Belgian label R&S Records, the collective return, this time coming heavy handed with four new instrumental pieces, each one brimming with mesmerising melodies and dramatic passages.

As on previous singles ‘Propulsion’ and ‘Affirmation’, Doni Joesran, Elfa Zulham and Kenny Gabriel continue to enthral with a level of musicianship and musical nuance that goes beyond words, as the seasoned players drill deep into the soul of the genre and peel off four stunning recordings with ease.

At pains to not be defined or pigeonholed, BTCV explain “we are often asked what kind of jazz this is. To tell you the truth we don’t know. We don’t even know if our music can be considered jazz or not. We create the music through jamming, and afterwards, we vote on certain compositions together,” say the collective. Who said modesty was dead!

Reginald Chapman 'Accretion' out June 9th, 2023: freshselects.bandcamp.com/album/accretion

Your third peek into the world of Reginald Chapman’s upcoming ‘Accretion’ album comes by way of a new flip on an old jazz standard, as Reg puts his signature touch on Duke Ellington’s “I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good).” Famously recorded by the likes of legendary singers such as Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, to game-changing instrumentalists like Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans and Ahmad Jamal – Chapman now adds on to the tradition, contributing his own new arragement to the song’s historic pantheon. 

Joining him for the occasion is an assembly of some of Richmond, Virginia’s finest — vocalist Kenneka Cook, and a backing band made up of 3/5th’s of ButcherBrown: DJ Harrison (pulling double duty here, holding down the drumkit and also providing a most choice Rhodes solo as well), Marcus “Tennishu” Tenney, and Andrew Randazzo. 

“I Got It Bad (And That Ain’t Good)”

Music composed by Duke Ellington (Sony/ATV, ASCAP)
Lyrics written by Paul Francis Webster (Webster Music Co., ASCAP)

Adapted, Produced, & Arranged by Reginald Chapman

Kenneka Cook - vocals
Reginald Chapman - bass trombone
DJ Harrison - drums, Fender Rhodes
Andrew Randazzo - bass
Marcus "Tennishu" Tenney - saxophone, trumpet

Mixed & Recorded by Devonne Harris (DJ Harrison) @ Jellowstone – Richmond, VA

Midnight In A Perfect World KEXP mix 04/30/23

This song explores the artists’ relationship with capitalism in the United States. The composition invites the listener into an introspective space with alternating vocal and instrumental sections, drawing from influences of 70’s funk/fusion by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter as well as classic Hollywood film orchestration by Henry Mancini. The song features keyboards and a synth solo by Telemakus as well as vocals, keyboards, and horns by Ted Taforo and drums, and production by Efajemue.

This is the second single from the upcoming Jazz album by Ted Taforo and Efajemue.
The music in this collection includes songs which were written as recently as this past year and some which were written as long as ten years ago. We explored our relationship to space in terms of distance, as some songs were recorded live in person, others assembled remotely due the constraints of the pandemic. Our goal in the production of these compositions was to create organic material which blends elements of improvised language with processed electronic textures.

Ted Taforo & Efajemue - In This Land

Released a few years ago in collaboration with Annie Smart, I found this live, improvisational version in the vault featuring ace guitarist Curtis Gremmel.  I love the bluesy vibe he brings to it with his in-the-moment and spot-on playing. Curtis is in the left channel, and I'm dutifully chording and keeping time center right.  Hope it brings a little sunshine to your day.  Thanks to Dreamstime for the great picture:)

Sunshine In the Rain (with Curtis Gremmel; lead acoustic guitar)

Recorded in Modesto, Ca.   Featuring Sergio Parraga on Congas & Bongos.  Gibson 335 Electric Guitar solo. Harmonica solo. Alto Saxophone solo. Trumpet solo. Gibson SG Rhythm. Acoustic Bass. Roland 880 Synthesizer Bass. Drums, full Kit trap set. Percussion Ago go Bells, Zildjen 22" Cymbal, Tambourine, Cowbell, Bongos, Congas.
