Special 90's Trip Hop / Jungle!!!

We're leaving the 70's and 80's for tonight, we have decided to dive in the mid 90's, in the golden age of Trip Hop and Jungle sounds! Sometimes it's good to change our mind, and these records were sleeping in our crates since a too long time... Although, 90minutes is a bit short to rediscover this era, so i think we'll have to repeat this kind of operation in the future! The first 45minutes of this show is Trip Hop, Abstract, Acid Jazz... and for the second part we wanted to play a mix by JMJ from the highly respected MOVING SHADOW label, a serious mix of classic Jungle masterpieces... 1996! Hope you'll apreciate this cool down session!

-JAZZ DANCE SCHOOL ACADEMY!-

JAZZ TRACK

by Dennis Wiley
This week focus on 2 French records made for jazz lessons. Dennis Wiley used to be the composer and pianist for THE PETERS SISTERS in the 50's and 60's. When the band has splited, he recorded and composed numerous scores for dance shows and ballets all over the world. JAZZ TRACK lp is played by a trio, piano,bass and drums. Maybe you should start by listening to "Things are gonna change"(the chorus reminds me Cortex's"Mary & Jeff" atmosphere), the intense"Barrio Chino" and "Karaté walk", which are, to me, the best tracks... And then if you're seduced,you will like the rest! I've upload 6 cuts from the lp...

D'ya like it?! - Download

LA CLASSE DE JAZZ
directed by Janet Pidoux
This one is "obscureless", but is worth'while to figures here on this choice...

It's a duet here: organ and drums! And let me take the wraps off
the drums....They are thick! The mixing of this record is awesome...
Listen to 3 cuts of this...Are you jazz dancin'?

TURBO MUSIC
by Angel "Pocho" Gatti

Angel Gatti (pianist) was a fan of Formula 1 races and particularly of the French superstars like Jabouille, Prost and Arnoux. It's them who inspired "Pocho" to release this double lp in 1981. Some great jazz funk all over the first record, with rhodes, organs, synth, wah wah, horns, bass & drums and... some engines roars! i like this kind of cover art (by chance this is a gatefold sleeve!), photos of R5, R18 turbo, R30 turbodiesel and R5 Alpine turbo. Listen to the grooviest tunes of TURBO MUSIC, we offer you 6 cuts of the 1st rec.
