If there’s one person I won’t tire composing similar music, it’s John Zorn. His 2008 title The Dreamers is out and it’s basically The Gift No.2 with a lot of great references to genres like exotica and surf with the help of Cyro Baptista’s mood setting percussions and Marc Ribot’s delicate guitar tone, this time [...]

For some reason when I first got a hold of “Dawn” I mistook “Build an Ark” for “Like A Tim” because of the name. That’s why my first listen to the album was a story of shock, as this is a very soulful and organic album as opposed to “Like A Tim”s electronic techno music. [...]

Glacially slow funeral jazz with an attention to ambience more than the playing (doesn’t mean that the playing is bad of course).

Ok, here’s a mix by Cenk Akyol, which was for the Valentine’s, yet I forgot to publish it as always.

Today’s story is about Ottawa’s groovy Souljazz Orchestra. Now we all know Ottawa is the capital of Canada, and Canada’s primary export is multiculturalism. I’m just kidding!.

Another reissue by the lovely Tiliqua Records on their “Oriental Erotic Sunshine” series that we’ve been enjoying for some time is Masami Kawahara & The Exotic Sounds’ 1970 album “Kokotsu / Ecstasy”. Originally released by Columbia Records in 1970, “ Kokotsu” sees the 70’s Japanese obsession with vintage bossa & Latin music coupled with sexploitation [...]
