Overnight playlist from the music stream of KMHD-fm, the Portland Jazz radio station. And just because it's a Jazz station, don't assume that it's all Jazz. Marking songs with ***** to designate tunes I find especially interesting.
- David Axelrod - The Human Abstract *****
- Don Wilkerson - Ring 'Dem Tambourines
- PLS Trio - Into the Skyline
- Sonny Levine with Hugh Masekela - One of These Days
- Gregory Porter - 1960 What? *****
- The Heshoo Beshoo Band - Amakhaya *****
- Kelan Philip Cohran and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble - Curenavaca *****
There's another "Record Store Day" (Black Friday version) coming up the day after tomorrow. Hoping to find something far out, groovy, cool, hip and unusual to take home. Something to make a senior citizen feel proud to add to their collection. Something to stay up late at night listening to.
- Willie West - Fairchild
- Abdullah Ibrahim - Did You Hear That Sound *****
Don't misunderstand. I still greatly appreciate and enjoy the 1950's and 60's Jazz sounds and the fusion of Jazz and other styles in the late 1970's and 80's but lately I've been searching for different directions in the genre. I don't know exactly what ….. Exploratory but still melodic. Abstract suggestions. Occasional hints of improvisation. Does that clarify things or make sense?
- Grant Green - Down Here On the Ground
- Brandee Younger - Dorothy Jeanne ….. I was thinking Hiroshima meets Paul Horn while this was playing.
- DJM Trio - The Way You Do It *****
- Eddie Henderson - Sunburst
The hell with sleep!!! Sometimes you just want the mystery and anticipation of what's next that late night radio provides. Then afraid if you walk away, you'll miss out on something new to your ears. Something great!! So an intended short playlist of maybe five or ten songs becomes longer and longer and you wonder if you'll have to keep listening until the end of your days or the end of time ….. whichever comes first.
- Curtis Fuller - The Spirit
- Florian Pellssier Quintet - Les masques africains ***** …… The name, "Florian" always causes me to think of that 1970's German experimental Rock group, Kraftwerk. Maybe not considered experimental to German ears?
- James Moody - Behind Every Good Man ….. I'm sure it has its place and loyal appreciative fans but to state as nicely as possible, I'm just not a lover of the use of a flute.
- Lonnie Liston Smith - A Chance For Peace ….. The song starts and thirty seconds in you think you don't care for it but as it unfolds and fades out you find yourself tapping your toes and bobbing your head.
- Cinematic Orchestra - Evolution
