THE TRIP, WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK (PREVIOUSLY THE AFROBA)-SESSION 83, PLAYLIST AND JIM’S RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www,jimz.biz , click on Jimz Playlists. NEXT SESSION 31st MARCH
I am beginning at long last to realise where the “plot” is with this evening especially, as musically it is quite diverse. What I seem to do is to approach the sessions with a great deal of order, with far too many tunes with me, and all the other bits and pieces in place. I start with some order (the first five tunes although not pre-empted beforehand-apart from the fifth one-just jumped out at me from the boxes as the theme was to convey a “return”, to play “my music”, to get in a tune with trip in the title, to focus on the vintage element-“time machine”, and finally to name check the new bar name). Then we moved straight into a request to play as much music from Tom Middletons Trip, 3 vinyl compilation, which I did. After loads of those, on go a few mellow classics, while I wait for other requests, like Peter Nice, Gangstarr, De La Soul, and slip in a “theme”, Barbara Thompson. Then the bar gets rammed and on goes Roller Skating Jam, and the evening stays pretty much “up”, until I try to clear the bar playing “corny” tunes. The state of my tunes filing by now is chaotic, but we get there.
Me talking. Well the jury is still out on this one. One of my old mixers did not pick up on my chat, so playback ran as a continuous music tape. However the one we are now using does pick me up, and I deliberately went a little over the top to test it. In spite of issuing a two sided newsletter on the night, sometimes a little bit of chat also helps!-Let’s see how it pans out. It was great yet again to meet someone who used to come to my kids discos in twyford in the 80’s, and be warned I always have some of the tunes from that period with me, but basically gave up the mobile to concentrate on less top 40!, here, but if you talk nicely to me!
The hardened veterans to this night will have noticed I only had about 8 lp cases with me, instead of about twice that amount. This is me trying to be more disciplined, but also using more compilations therefore, and had nothing to do with my car playing up!
The next session is on MARCH 31st, and an interesting one. Normally in the past I have had to put the march session back a week later into april, as I attend the memorabilia fair at the NEC each year, at the end of march. However this year because my equipment is no longer needed by the bar, and is set up for us by Tim, the Mighty AC is going to do the evening for me, so be gentle with him! In turn I am undertaking his night TRACKS and GROOVES here two nights earlier.
Finally, just a big thanks to Tim for taking the bar within a very short space of time to a whole new level, and this is only the start. He is brimming with ideas for the future, and deserves a medal for rescuing the bar from extinction! As such after 9 years here I am so glad I hung on. Hopefully if he has the time this session will get played back during march.
As usual, please join the MILK READING facebook group, or link up with me JIM B. DONOVAN on facebook. The playlists for this and all the other nights I am involved in are at www.jimz.biz , just click on jimz playlists/BCNU Hopefully-Jim

Well we slipped into the middle night of the afrobas closing party, with nothing but sixties vintage sevens, as the nights either side of us were riddled with cd’s and laptops!!! Well over one hundred tunes got on, and the 60’s club scene sounds bounced off the walls of the oldest commercial building in reading. Next month however, because we would like a little more dancefloor space, we try the session at the COPA, details above. Look forward to seeing you hopefully-Martin/Brian/Jim………..

TRIP 28/01/12

2012-01-30T15:07:00.000-08:00

The trip at the afroba-session 82, with vintage vinyl on the 28th Jan 2012, PLAYLIST and jims ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz , click on jimzplaylists.
Next session on SATURDAY FEBRUARY 25th…………
Well I often wonder what an ad. agency would make of trying to describe this night. If I was sticking to one type of music, like many of my other nights, it would be easy, but leaping about playing what I think you will like, then dealing with requests, often paying homage to some recently deceased late greats, and dealing with different groups of customers, who come and go during the evening, means it does get very mixed up. I also try to get requests on as they come in, which often ruins any flow or style that is happening at the time. However because the bar is not laid out or made for dancing this is somewhat easier. Generally, and its still on my blogpage in the form of an old newsletter, the music tends to be soul of black origin-except when it isn’t!, from the 40’s to the 90’s, and hooks a lot around sample culture. From Bebop to Hip Hop. End of explanation!
This session was the third, I had been involved in as part of a “3 is the magic number” series at the bar, involving the last Thursday, Friday and Saturday each month, and the first one where all three sessions were busy. Thursday was the Mighty AC,with his TRACKS and GROOVES (Playlists on its facebook page), Friday could not have been more different with some great live neo soul hip hop, and then the trip to round off the three (this being my 300 th. involvement with a night at the bar over the last 9 years).
It was great to see many regulars in, plus Pete and Marleen all the way from Swindon, and birthday boy ! mr. newitt.
If you do not belong already please join the afroba FACEBOOK group to be kept informed of some exciting droog changes coming to the bar, starting in February. BCNU-Hopefully/Jim

TRIP 24/12/11

2011-12-26T06:28:00.001-08:00

The TRIP with vintage vinyl, Session 81, at the afroba, reading. Playlist for the Christmas Eve special-24/12/11, plus a few extras. More playlists at www.jimz.biz and details on the afroba facebook page.
Well I had a feeling this was going to be a mellow one and it was with a very quiet bar, which was expected, as everyone went a little mad the night before at the afroba Christmas party. Also it was the third session in as many nights, and I only played for four and a half hours instead of the usual five and a half. On Thursday it was tracks and grooves-playlists on its facebook page-and the night before the party mentioned above, with Chris, Tim, and Kirsten guest d j’ing, and the human Christmas gift wrapping competition-photos on the afroba facebook page. At the end of the Saturday playlist are a few tunes turntabled the night before, except I wish I could have listed more of Tims, if only he had written them down! Chris’s rare groove set was a delight, which he must do again, and Kirsten proved there are not enough female d j’s on the scene. Talking of which, Friday saw quite a few local faces on the scene popping in and it was great to see them. The next session is on JANUARY 28th, with TRACKS AND GROOVES two nights before, with hopefully some news of extra sessions. BCNU-Jim.

TRIP 26/11/11

2011-11-28T11:37:00.001-08:00

THE TRIP SESSION 80 AT THE AFROBA WITH VINTAGE VINYL, PLAYLIST FOR THE SESSION ON 26th NOVEMBER 2011. MORE PLAYLISTS AT www.jimz.biz , AND DETAILS AND DOWNLOADS ON THE AFROBA FACEBOOK PAGE.
Well here we went again! Pretty random selection or what! This session was the third I had been involved in, in as many nights, and the one where I normally play all evening. However by 10.30, having started at 6.30, I was starting to wilt a little and was rescued by the Mighty AC, who appeared and played for an hour to give me a break, bless him. We also had a birthday party in early, so I kept it to ”background” music for the first few hours. I started, for no other reason than I had with me a separate box of jazzy sevens, for the first hour, then moved to a little funk on seven, before breaking out into “allsorts”. We had a very full bar, as we did the night before for the reggae evening, and the vibe was pretty good. Let’s hope we can keep it up for the next sessions, which are at the moment, TRACKS and GROOVES on DECEMBER 22nd, and THE TRIP on DECEMBER 24th, both obviously with seasonal flavours. However we may add a few more nights around the same time, so keep an eye on the afroba facebook page, or e-mail me at jimz@freenetname.co.uk , for details.

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA-29/10/11-WITH VINTAGE VINYL SESSION 79 PLAYLIST-MORE at www.jimz.biz and THE AFROBA GROUP ON FACEBOOK.
Well this session was the final one of “three nights of fearsome funk”. On Thursday it was TRACKS AND GROOVES-PLAYLIST ON IT’S FACEBOOK PAGE-On Friday it was FREAKY FRIDAY, with Fancy Dress, and then this session. All evenings featured Halloween themed tunes and super 8 Horror films. At the start of the playlist below is the majority of the playlist for FREAKY FRIDAY, which was virtually all Halloween themed, meaning that at the Saturday session less got on, but it was more of a mellow session anyway, and needed to be after the mad night before. Next month we go for THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER again with TRACKS AND GROOVES on THURSDAY 24th-The return of the REGGAE NIGHT, which was so popular during the summer, on FRIDAY 25th, and THE TRIP SESSION 80 on SAT. 26th. Hopefully see you at all three sessions/Count Jimula.

NEXT SESSION ON 17th NOVEMBER. PLAYLISTS at www.jimz.biz
Well an “interesting” evening, with Smiler absent due to his and Lorraines new addition!, and Dan returning after a few months break, again, because of his and Fionas new addition. Keith was stepping out elsewhere, and so Brian-our new old dj- joined us to spin a few tunes. Towards the end of the evening Joe also took to the steels of wheel to add yet more variety. Lots of tunes were therefore new to the evening, which I was looking forward to listening to on playback, except I turned the power off before saving it on the mini disc, so the session was lost forever!

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA WITH VINTAGE VINYL-SESSION 78 on 24 th. September 2011-PLAYLIST.
ALWAYS ON THE LAST SATURDAY EACH MONTH.
Well a little like last month not packed but nicely full. The evening therefore turned out to be mainly mellow, and as it was the annual autumn leaves special this seemed to suit. Nice to greet so many regulars, especially our friends from Hampshire, who stayed over. Please note next month we go a little Halloweeny bonkers with three sessions. TRACKS and GROOVES on October 27th/FREAKY FRIDAY, the night following with prizes for fancy dress and the TRIP on the 29th. That’s 15 hours of fearsome funk as the fliers say, and super 8 horror films as well. Please feel free to join the AFROBA FACEBOOK GROUP, and check out previous playlists at www.jimz.biz-just click on jimz playlists.
Be seeing you hopefully at the next sessions-Jim

Thanks to all who turned out for what seemed to be another good night. Dan was absent due to his and fionas recent addition, and Smiler turned up to play the last set after spending the earlier part of the evening doing his own pre-natals! Pete and Joe filled in the gaps with some fine tunes and played “across the board”. Keith dropped a few jazzy bits, and I played some quite varied sets. Tickets for THE BIRDS gig sold very well on the night and are selling very well generally, and if you have not got any yet-be quick. The gig is on OCT 1st at THE TOWN HALL, READING, or check out the READING STEADY GO FACEBOOK page.

the TRIP SESSION 76-WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT- THE AFROBA, READING, PLAYLIST FOR SESSION ON 30/7/11. MORE PLAYLISTS AT www.jimz.biz
Well they say variety is the spice of life, and you can take the mobile out of the man, but you can’t take the man out of the mobile, and they both sum up this session. We had a large birthday group in, plus plenty of regulars, so the bar was pretty crowded all night. Obviously I tried my best to get as much normal trip music in, but towards the end we went very mobile disco. It was quite difficult to chat to customers, keep up with requests, write everything down, try to move the dancing away from the decks! etc., but I got through to midnight with a crowd very reluctant to leave!. This was my sixth session in ten day and the most “demanding”, but with all those years of doing this behind me, I think I coped-just! This session gets played back at the afroba during august, deck skips and all-see below!
Also keep an eye on-or join- the AFROBA FACEBOOK page for details of sessions and downloads. I have four on there now and hope to upload soon a classic one that was available on cd a few years ago-BREAKS AND BEATS, recorded “live” here.
The next session is on AUGUST 27th, the one that always clashes with the Reading Festival, with Tracks and Grooves here two nights before. BCNU-Hopefully-JIM

THE ROOTS OF REGGAE MIX

2011-07-01T11:45:00.000-07:00

Well here we are, a two an a half hour mix of 54 tunes recorded at the afroba, and all played off original sevens, to promote the REGGAE STEADY GO vintage vinyl sessions on 9th/23rd JULY 2011. This mix covers the years 1959 to 1969, and it is hoped to produce a second one covering the years 1970 to date, eventually.
The mix is roughly, especially the first half, in date order, and some of the pre 1963 tunes, pre Busters Madness, would not normally have got through quality control, certainly on headphones! However it was a pretty random mix, pulling them out straight from the crates, and I wanted the spirit and the timeline to come through rather than the “audio”.
The tracklisting is below, but I also created another, which follows the main mix, and is a dialog rundown of the tunes. Enjoy-Jim.

TRIP 25/06/11

2011-06-27T08:03:00.001-07:00

The trip at the afroba SESSION 75, with vintage vinyl-25th June 2011, PLAYLIST.

Right lets get the plugs out of the way first. This session, now in year 8, is always on the last Saturday. Tracks and Grooves, one year young, with the Mighty AC is always on the last Thursday. Both are vintage vinyl nights, and the music covers the 1940’s almost to date!. Mostly it is club music, jazz, black dance music, lounge! but often wanders off into indie, pop, and rock depending on the mood and the crowd. Also this evening is recorded and is played back during the month following. As a result of this some downloads are available on the AFOBA Facebook page which you are very welcome to join. Dozens of playlists for this and my other evenings are at HYPERLINK "http://www.jimz.biz" www.jimz.biz - just click on jimz playlists. Plus as part of the Outsideinside festival two extra sessions are here during JULY on the 9th and the 23 rd. They are titled REGGAE STEADY GO and celebrate on vinyl 50 years of Jamaican music, with Caribbean food available as well. They both run from 4.00 to Midnight.
Ok back to the session, somewhat busier than last month, but still needing a few more attendees to get it back to how it used to be in the old days! Gil Scott Heron was featured again, as were some Glastonbury artists, and I managed to avoid the Wombles. Plus I had completely forgotten it was the second anniversary of Michael Jacksons death, so when I was reminded a few tunes went on. Nice to have Ralph and his friends in the house and Jason and Helen from Hampshire who came a distance and stayed over in Reading as a result. I had been playing out the night before at the Town Hall as part of the 60’s exhibition, so was a little jaded, but because the bar was not packed I was able to keep the evening fairly cool with not too much “ up “ stuff.
So on with the playlist, which if you are reading this before the Doubledot bash at South street on JULY 2nd. includes a few tunes on this playlist that get a replay there as the Mighty and myself are representing the afroba in the main room between acts.
Thanks for reading this and keep on keepin’ on/Jim.

2011-06-01T14:00:00.000-07:00

CLUB RUDE-PLAYLIST FOR THE SESSION ON 18th MAY 2011.
HELD AT THE QUEENS ARMS, GREAT KNOLLYS STREET, READING, EVERY THIRD THURSDAY. MORE PLAYLISTS AT www.jimz.biz
Well another busy sesh, with Smiler, Dan, Keith and Jim back on the steels of wheel.
A bit of a change to the layout however as we have now lost the back “club” room, and are situated in the front bar. This means we have lost a little of the club ambience, but we think with a little more “tweaking” we can get some of it to return in future. Talking of that the next session on JUNE 16 th. is our 8 th. Birthday, so onward and upward.
Don paid us a visit again selling copies of the second volume of his book, and he will be appearing at the Museum/Town Hall on JUNE 24th., reading segments from the first volume. That will be followed by another session (of a 60’s disco!!!) in the 3’B’s, next to the museum. The one we undertook in May after Dorothy Shermans talk was quite well attended, and the Museum apparently has broken all attendance records!
BCNU hopefully on the 16th.

TRIP 28/05/2011

2011-05-31T03:06:00.000-07:00

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA WITH VINTAGE VINYL-THE LAST SATURDAY EACH MONTH-PLAYLIST FOR SESSION 74 ON 28th MAY 2011.
MORE PLAYLISTS AND DETAILS AT www.jimz.biz
Also checkout the AFROBA page and my own page JIM B. DONOVAN on FACEBOOK.
Well they say there is a first time for anything, and at this session I morphed into a bedroom dj., a genre I have never been happy with. Basically either due to the football/the bank holiday/me !, the session was very poorly attended. There is little better than the buzz of jockeying discs/dealing with requests to suit the audience in a busy environment, but in this case neither applied as I may as well have been at home! This did not stop me however from getting on with it (I have seen 8 piece bands in the past still doing their normal superb show, even though hardly anyone was there). The evening therefore was very well mixed and mostly mellow, with no chance of building to any “highs”. However the recording is still with us, and apart from my complete lack of chat-a good thing !- sounds superb. It even gave me the opportunity to try a classic house mix, which was not quite perfect, but when I get it right at a future session one will be released as a download. In this respect the JAZZ ON A SUMMERS DAY mix that I undertook two nights earlier at TRACKS and GROOVES AT THE AFROBA came out ok and will be released as a download. Keep an eye on the afroba page on facebook for it or turn up for the next session for details. Do not be put off by the jazz word! It is not a four letter word!
The original intention for the night was to feature Curtis Mayfield, but the sudden death the day before of GIL SCOTT HERON, meant a change of plan, even though I had featured him at the February session.
So on with the playlist. The next session is on SATURDAY 24th JUNE with TRACKS AND GROOVES the Thursday following JUNE 30th. Also stick a note in your diary! for two specials in JULY on the 9th. and the 23 rd., as REGGAE STEADY GO comes to the afroba as part of the Outsidein Festival.

Well acker my bilks dan and scroobious. Well even though I say it myself a pretty good evening, with THE most interest in the tunes and me moving even further away from my tuesday night proper jazz listening evening. Now its groovin’ and fingerpoppin night. But what the heck a lot of jazz spirit is still there and who knows post the smoking ban I might try a weekday again as well as these Fridays to see if the spirit and the audience is still there. I had planned lots of tunes plucked from the new WAXPOETICS-marked WP- and managed a few, but cut back on funk britania tunes and played a lot of tunes for the first time with Stan Tracey’s Milk Wood being the featured lp., plus a little Compost label segment which was not planned but which just found their way onto the turntables. Drums seemed to feature more than ever and it is in the skins that most tunes do it for me. Speaking of which Dan from the Scroobious team was in the house and I wish them all the best with their superb “thou shalt not” single. Also beware at my next session of the trip on Saturday April 28th. I intend to play a lot of tunes by the artists namechecked in the single. Also I intend to produce my own single called “Thou shalt not cast record sleeves to one side unless the vinyl is removed”. So another one dusts the bite, now if only I could stop my mike cord getting tangled with the stylus arm I think I could make a go of this dj lark……BCNU DJ JD (aka jazzy jim)

Well apologies this month for the virtual lack of a playlist. I do not really know what went wrong except that everybody must have been a little on edge because of the rumour that Cilla Black would be joining us, or am I getting my gigs mixed up (YES YOU ARE-Editor)

TRIP 26/02/2011

2011-02-28T11:37:00.000-08:00

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA-WITH VINTAGE VINYL-NORMALLY THE LAST SATURDAY EACH MONTH-PLAYLIST FOR SESSION 71 ON 26th FEBRUARY 2011. MORE PLAYLISTS AND DETAILS AT www.jimz.biz, also JIM B. DONOVAN and AFROBA GROUP ON FACEBOOK, which you are welcome to join.
Well I thought I had better listen to the full recorded playback before making these comments as the vibe on the night, due to a much lower turnout than usual, did not seem to be there. However in spite of this the recording of the night gives hardly any hint of that, other than because the bar was not full I did not play as much “up” stuff as I would have done. The plot was to play lots of Gil Scott Heron, as the artist of the night, which I did, and pay tribute to Sir George Shearing, which I also did. The intended Detroit techno segment and the Tom Moulton disco tunes I cut back on, as well as the Jungle portions , although a few got on.
The next session is a week later than usual on APRIL 2nd., with it’s sister session TRACKS and GROOVES, two nights earlier, on THURSDAY MARCH 31st, so please spread the word and let’s get these sessions back up there again. Thanks for reading this and please visit my revamped playlist site, which now has at least 20 other playlists for the trip and my other nights, at www.jim.biz, just click on LINKS-Jimz Playlists-

60'S SOUL TIME/ALLSORTS

2011-02-15T12:10:00.000-08:00

This is a “typical” playlist for a 60’S SOUL TIME evening all played on vintage vinyl. This one is from a private 60 th birthday party held in February 2011. The evening was not “pre-empted” other than a request to play 60’s soul, from someone who attended one of my evenings, and the vast majority of tunes were requests on the night, hence the slight motown slant. The majority of tunes however are “better known” and not too obscure, and very similar to my original 60’s club sets.
This session has been tried out at several locations on the outskirts of Reading, on a sporadic basis and we are hoping to make it more regular at a central location in Reading.
The first two hour set below was basically background music allowing for chatting, eating and drinking.The second three hour set is the full on “dancer”, with dropdowns every so often to “smootchies”.
If you are interested in either a private party or the regular sessions proper if they recommence contact jim at jimz@freenetname.co.uk
I also undertake another private party evening called ALLSORTS, where I play basically more top 40 music across the board from the 50’s to the 90’s. I recently undertook a 40’s evening , so anything is possible, either across the decades or decade specific/ particular musical styles.
Thanks for reading this, and keep on keepin’ on-
Jim.

TRIP 17/12/2010

2010-12-17T12:14:00.000-08:00

The trip at the afroba with vintage vinyl session 69-17/12/2010. PLAYLIST and JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www.jimz.biz and JIM B. DONOVAN and AFROBA GROUP ON FACEBOOK…..
Well we ran with the session a couple of weeks early and on a Friday so the a bar was not as rammed as usual, but still full enough for a nice pre xmas vibe, where I chose not to drop too much xmassy stuff due to tracks and grooves at the afroba happening on the following thursday, and the fact that the session will get played back during January. Also I was not feeling 100% and closed down the session an hour earlier than usual. Of course the moment I mentioned this the bar filled up but I’m afraid I stopped anyway. The next session is on SATURDAY 29th JANUARY, where I drop lots of the top tunes I played during 2010, plus two nights earlier TRACKS and GROOVES on THURSDAY 27th, starts the new year with a wallop! Have a great chrissy and look forward to seeing you in eleven….

Well half a playlist is better than none, especially after last months lack of one.

TRIP 27/11/2010

2010-11-27T12:15:00.000-08:00

The TRIP at the afroba with vintage vinyl, Session 68-27th. November 2010, playlist and Jim’s ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz and Jim B. Donovan and Afroba Group on Facebook.
Standing room only and the bar nearly drunk dry!, plus me playing a few tunes just about sums up another very busy evening. However a quiet start where I got to drop some “winter” tunes, then a nice middle section “build”, then right “up” to end where we had to say goodbye at midnight. Kirsten and Jess really worked their socks off-if they were wearing any !-behind the bar, and so nice to see Liam and his mates in celebrating a birthday. The Mighty AC also was in the house fresh from his brilliant session Tracks and Grooves at the afroba, two nights earlier. His next session is on December 23 rd, so skip the late Christmas shopping and drop in to drop out!
The next session of the TRIP is on FRIDAY 17th DECEMBER, our annual Xmas special. There is the possibility that we may run with a New Years Eve session, so keep an eye on the posters in the afroba, or either join the facebook group, or attend the next session to keep in touch. Also don’t forget the recorded session 68 gets played back, all five and a half hours of it at the afroba during the week.

Well we moved the night one evening forward to coincide with the afroba Halloween fancy dress party, and boy was it a busy one, especially after 9.00, when the fancy dressers turned up en masse, check the facebook photos! The plot for me was to get as much halloweeny type music in as possible as well as pay respects to Mr. Scruff for his great gig in reading recently. When he popped into the shop I presented him with a set of 8 afroba cd’s, so watch out in future for afroba type music turning up in his sets. The afroba staff spent ages decorating the place, which together with some of my horror posters and Elvira in the window really caught the atmosphere. I also laid on some Horror-and a few others!, SUPER 8 films, which we had given a shot at, at the previous nights new session TRACKS and GROOVES, which you must get down to on the last Thursday. Towards the end we got into a little reggae/ska music to pave the way for Neville Staples of the Specials gig on Halloween itself, at which I drop yet more tunes, and show more films!

Jim has now sold 20 copies of the Alan Bown book, and still has more copies if anyone wants a jolly good read about a 60’s working band who were in all the right places back then, at a tenner it’s a bargain.

TRIP 25/09/2010

2010-09-25T12:17:00.000-07:00

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA-NORMALLY ON THE LAST SATURDAY- WITH VINTAGE VINYL SESSION 66---25/9/2010. PLAYLIST and JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www.jimz.biz and FACEBOOK-JIM B. DONOVAN or AFROBA GROUP.

Variety is supposed to be the spice of life, and after last months ”focussed” jazz evening and next months Halloween special, I suppose you could say session 66 was pretty varied. I always start the evening with some plans in mind, but usually after a few requests we just seem to “go random”. Anyway that’s what the customers seem to want so who am I to deny them. It helps that I had 15 LP cases and 4 sevens boxes with me, which gives me the freedom to wander about! I started very focussed even keeping the chat down to a minimum, only checking the tunes about an hour and a half in and then going another hour an a half doing the same. After that when it got busy I did start to rabbit more, and of course I notice it more now as the recording picks up my chat, which it didn’t on the old mixer. Now I am leaving the spare equipment in situ you now have another “trip type” evening to get down to. The Mighty AC with his Tracks and Grooves is on the last Thursday. Also the new afroba FACEBOOK and THE TRIP pages are up and running so join the groups to be kept in touch with happenings. Next month we do our annual spooky session, a night earlier than usual so get witched-up, on FRIDAY OCTOBER 29th!-BCNU…Jim.

TRIP 28/08/2010

2010-08-28T12:18:00.000-07:00

the Trip session 65 “no room for squares”-jazzorizit- special with vintage vinyl on 28th August 2010, Playlist and Ramblings. More at HYPERLINK "http://www.jimz.biz" www.jimz.biz, and Jim B Donovan on facebook…..
Well if you had said to me ten years ago, that I would still be playing out on a Saturday night at a packed bar in the middle of Reading, and playing “jazz” at that, I would have thought it was all a dream. However I think it happened in reality last night. The “plot” was to do a “Sod the Reading Festival “, special and revive my old “jazzorizit” night “No Room For Squares”. Let’s hope after last night that we can get the night back, as I am now able to leave my equipment in situ., and this has already lead to another night starting on the last thursday “Tracks and Grooves”, with the Mighty AC throwing the tunes on. However all good things have a downside. This one is that the equipment I am using is my spare kit, and is not quite, in my view, in spite of masses of testing, up to my normal rig. It seemed to get us through ok however , but I had a glitch with one turntable-that you would hardly notice- but the recording which I could not have set up right only recorded one channel, and that in mono. Plus every other tune has low volume on the playback. It might take some time therefore to copy it for the afroba to play back, and even may not copy well at all, so a month might go missing!
So nice to see a lot of regular faces, and new ones, especially the guy, who said he “had never been to a night like it”. I just hope that was a compliment! Plus lots of interest in the tunes and competitions. Also nice to see Nigel and his wife, who are involved with “jazz in reading”, it could lead to some “live” jazz at the afroba. Tim ibetya popped in towards the end, and photographed nicely for my facebook page. We also had some genuine reading festival mud in the place to add to the atmosphere!!! The night was dedicated to the late Abbey Lincoln, and the next session is back to “normal” on September 25th, with “Tracks and Grooves” the following thursday Sept 30th. Be there or be somewhere else!

Well it seems like for the last seven years we have just been building up to take this night into orbit, and we are finally up there, with an evening that seemed to hit all the right high notes. Great venue, Great Tunes, Great Guests, Great Crowd. My only problem was I missed most of the early part of the evening due to jazzboitis, but I got back to Rude at 9.45, and the place was rockin’ or is that moddin’. However for the last few days, the recording I have of the evening has been played over and over non stop, and the vibe is still there on the minidisk. The DRC crew, Lee, Bruce, Mike from Wycombe guested , and did they make a great job of it?, I want more!. Dan returned to play from his hols., Smiler from his chat with Martha Reeves, and I dished out a load of free Toots and the Maytals cd’s.

TRIP 31/07/2010

2010-07-31T12:19:00.000-07:00

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA WITH VINTAGE VINYL PLAYLIST FOR SESSION 64 -31st JULY 2010, WITH JIM. MORE PLAYLISTS AT HYPERLINK "http://www.jimz.biz" www.jimz.biz, and JIM B DONOVAN on Facebook.
Well another “interesting” session. The a-bar did not fill to capacity, but it remained nicely full for the most part of the latter part of the evening, and the vibe, the requests and the general chatting was great. I was a little more “apprehensive” than usual, due to an aspect that in reality is very positive. I am now being allowed to leave my spare equipment in situ, to spare me hours having to bring it in and out, which means initially that coming on August 26th., is another night called TRACKS and GROOVES, which the Mighty AC and myself are undertaking to compliment the trip. However the spare equipment is not quite up to my usual clobber, but basically it got me through the night, with a few problems like one styus going funny on me and odd bits of feedback where the levels were not quite right. Plus with a different mixer I am not able to record the evening without it picking up my chatting on the mike, so in future playback of the recording during the week will include moi chatting as well as the music, sorry!
The next session our annual “Sod the Reading Festival” night on AUGUST 28th., sees the return for “one night only” of my old afroba evening “NO ROOM FOR SQUARES”, which means that the night will be more jazz orientated than usual. Do not let this put you off, my interpretation of “jass” is very broad, as you can tell from some of the old playlists on my website. Also I have hooked up with the “Jazz in Reading“ organisers and they are including the night on their mailing lists, so who knows what the turnout will be like. If you only like pure trip type music-if there is such a thing- then at least come along to our new night two night earlier, but be bold and try them both!
The evening was dedicated to Harry Beckett and Rammell Zee, both very different musicians but both iconic in their own fields, they will be sadly missed. BCNU-Jim.
HARRY BECKETT…METROPOLIS PART 9, started with a short tribute to one of our great trumpet players who passed away recently.

RUDE 15/07/2010

2010-07-15T12:56:00.000-07:00

CLUB RUDE -WITH VINTAGE VINYL- NEW VENUE PLAYLIST 15th JULY 2010. NOW AT THE QUEENS ARMS, GREAT KNOLLYS STREET, READING, RG1 7HH, THIRD THURSDAY EACH MONTH. MORE PLAYLISTS at www.jimz.biz and on FACEBOOK-CLUB RUDE or PAUL ANDERSON or JIM B DONOVAN and the TROJAN RECORDS WEBSITE. NEXT SESSION ON 19th AUGUST 2010.
At long last our own room, with most of the Equipment/Lighting in situ, our own Bar, plenty of Scooter/Car Parking, Dancefloor and the look and feel of the old Ricky Tick Club. Nick, Martin, Mike and Pete joined Smiler and myself on the steels of wheel and the night just “flew by”, with free BIRDS “live”cd’s being given out to those who came early, with the attendance certainly seeming to be up as well. The only problem with the playlist is it’s not exactly in the proper running order. A combination of the six of us writing the tunes down, spilling booze on the sheets, and the final indignity of my mini-disc recording not recording caused this, the nights only problem.
So onward and upward to the next sesh. when Dan and Keith return and hopefully a free Toots and the Maytals “live” cd for the first 30 through the door-

THE TRIP SESSION 63, with vintage vinyl at the afroba, the last Saturday each month---26th JUNE 2010--- Playlist and Ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz and Jim B Donovan on Facebook (photos and all!) THE NEXT SESSION IS ON JULY 31st.
Well and this is beginning to become a cliché, another night that exceeded my expectations. My problem is however I do not get out enough, so I have no idea whether nights like this are commonplace, in Reading anyway. From the comments I received on the night it does not seem so, with so many new faces saying how they were enjoying the selection and that they would be back. The Mighty AC (the hardest working man in show business?) joined me, having also played out at Mondo Fuzz (another highly rated night) at the Global the night before, and dropped a load of goodies. I tried for a bit of an “African/ Glastonbury” theme for obvious reasons, with a few tributes to those recently passed.

Well after seven years this session really brought together all its various musical strands, with a great crowd in and a vibe, that needs to be bottled! Some of us were “fresh” from the Toots gig the night before, with Smiler having obtained an interview with the man. The first 50 through the door received a superb free cd compiled by our guest dj’s who are playing next month. We hope to continue the free cd’s and next month a very special free one which again we think will “fly out”, and I’m already working on another for the month after. Stewart from the Oxford Roadrunners did us proud with a guest dj set, and we welcomed the “well travelled” from Wales, Somerset, and Wiltshire, a big thank you for taking the time and the trouble. Plus visiting us for the first time the iconic Martin Fuggles, the 60’s Windsor Ricky Tick dj., let’s hope it’s the first of many.

The trip session 62, with vintage vinyl at the afroba, the last Saturday each month- 29 th. May 2010, Playlist and Ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz and Jim B Donovan on Facebook (Photos and all!!)
Well little did I know when I started the evening at 6.30, that the first two tunes would just about sum the night up. “It’s going to be a fine night tonight” and “Something Else”. In a nutshell it was a hectic one, with a lot of my “planned” tunes, like Sun Ra , not getting on , due to a switch to a long party disco segment, when it gradually dawned on me I was doing my own birthday disco. Thanks to the crew therefore for the cake, the dressing up, the vibe, and to the Mighty AC, for stepping up to the decks to give the old boy a break. During the break I chatted to so many customers who seemed to like what was happening. All I could say was thank you, and come again, at least whilst I still have the enthusiasm! Like all good things that come out of improvisation, the armwrestling contests gave the evening an added charm, as did the dancing. I was so relaxed!, that I let the dancing happen close to the decks without my usual shout to keep well away to avoid record skipz. So the session gets played back during the evenings during June and the session is back on JUNE 26th., with the Mighty AC guesting/

Previous playlists at www.jimz.biz
Another pretty good session that was quiet to begin with, got really busy, and then just tailed off quietly, with the most amount of Scooters ever, thanks to the Oxford crew, and Joe from the Trojan forum website visiting for the first time. Only problems were traffic wardens, bowler hats “falling” on the decks, and sometimes more geezers behind the decks than in front of of it. This I am afraid lead to about half the tunes not being written down, and this old jazz duffer having to spend ages listening to the playback to add a few more. All the “normal geezers played, Smiler, dropping especially both sides of Chris Farlowes magnificent new single, Dan, Keith and myself with Mick joining us for a few boss tunes. The next session on JUNE 17th, is our 7th., birthday special with free cd’s for the first 50 through the door, bcnu-No. 64. (Jim)

the TRIP AT THE AFROBA, READING with vintage vinyl, SESSION 61, --24th APRIL 2010-- PLAYLIST AND JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www.jimz.biz and Jim B Donovan on facebook.
Well you really did put me through it at this session. From 6.30 to 9.30 it was like a nice steady cruise at low speed with hardly anybody in. Then from 9.30 to midnight the place just filled to the rafters and I got bombarded with conversations and requests. At my age I really do need to pace myself and I got into a real mess with the tunes, (with another 16 boxes with me!) We also went a bit ‘indy” request wise, no problem with that except I would not normally go down that route unless asked. Also I did a few more competitions with afroba cd’s as prizes. The 8 new ones are now available and will be with me at the next session or in the shop in the meanwhile. The evening obviously paid its respects especially to Guru and during the earlier segment I got on a lot of tunes that have not been played before or for ages. If you missed the earlier segment do not forget it gets played back without my chat as continuous music during the evenings in May.
Next session subtitled “When I’m…”(all will be revealed on the night) is on MAY 29th, and COME EARLY!!, please.
Bcnu, hopefully-Jimbo Jambo Jazzbo

TRIP 03/04/2010

2010-04-03T13:22:00.000-07:00

the trip at the afroba, with vintage vinyl-SESSION 60, 3/4/2010, Playlist and Jims ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz and Jim B Donovan on Facebook.
Well for a session that went from Bill Evans to the Smiths via Vanilla Ice and 4-Hero, this one wandered a long way from what I originally had “planned” to play. The reason mainly was quite a large birthday party crew in that I tried to incorporate into the evening, to the extent that I let birthday boy take over the mike for some very good rapping and let him undertake his own competitions, plus he was no mean dancer. The party was of course surprised that I was playing, as I was a week later than usual, so they got a “party” for free! Don’t forget if you want to book the afroba for your own party with or without me just contact Channie or Chris in Cham Chams downstairs. I suppose on the night the old mobile mentality came to the fore again, but what the heck there’s nothing better than integrating your audience into the evening, rather than adopting a “heads down”, I’ll play the music I want regardless, just like I experienced recently with a “name” dj. The plot I had worked out for the evening was meant to include lots of artists featured in the new Waxpoetics. The wall photo on my facebook page shows a lot of what I had hoped to play, but basically only about half of it got on. So What!-in the words of Miles. I also did a few competitions giving away copies of the new cd’s which are now available. Don’t forget the recording of this session-music only without my chat- gets played back during the week at the afroba. Plus it’s a well known fact that I am crap at mixing, but somewhere during this session (I have not fully played it back yet and can’t remember where it was), there was a seamless mix that caused a few gasps from those that know about such things! Also the session was a week later than usual, which means we are back for session 61 quite soon on Saturday April 24th, returning to the last Saturday format, bcnu –hopefully, Jimbo.

CLUB RUDE at the Blagrave Arms, Reading, with vintage vinyl. Playlist for 18th March 2010, and Jim’s Ramblings. More at jimz.biz and Jim B Donovan on Facebook….
Another session with another excellent guest DJ. Martin Weller took to the decks in skatastic style, and I have done my best for once to try and separate out most of his tunes below, if only for pete’s sake. We had another good turnout which was slightly skewed towards the male of the species, possibly due to Smilers facebook flyer photo. Keith from the Fleurs joined us together with dj dj, and I found the evening due to my old age a little loud, so I had to keep popping outside for a chat. It sounded great out there! Pete and friends all the way from Swindon also joined us, so thanks for making the trip. Smiler had his shop full of goodies set up, and Dan complemented Martins tunes, leaving Smiler and myself to concentrate more on the r and b /jazzy side of things. I just had to drop some Cherry Wainer, and slip into a cravat in respect of her clips on You Tube, and pay respects to Charlie Gillett and Alex Chilton of the Boxtops. The evening was dedicated to Jimmy Cliff, who is only the second Jamaican to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Keith could not make the session but we hope he will be back with us on APRIL 15 th. BCNU, hopefully-Jimbo

TRIP 27/02/2010

2010-02-27T13:23:00.000-08:00

the trip at the afroba, Session 59, with vintage vinyl. Playlist and Jims ramblings, on the
27th Feb 2010. More at www.jimz.biz and Facebook-Jim B. Donovan
Hey 8 years, 230 evenings, 10,000 tunes, and all after I had semi-retired from record playing. Owning up time as well. Quite where the music mix or the vibe comes from is still difficult to describe. I have never been one for attending other dj evenings , certainly up to 10 years back, and never really up to then wanted to get involved in discreet specialist music evenings. Too easy playing one style to an audience there just for that! So for ages I went the mobile route, not knowing what crowd I would be up against. I suppose it was only the diminishing of vinyl towards 2000 that took me off that scene. I can’t help it but playing off anything else just ain’t right. Sorry. “Passionate about vinyl and playing out”, was how someone described me at this session, I’m afraid I concur.
So here we are in 2010, I’m 45 years into this scene, and more than ever thinking how long can I keep it up. If it was not for the fact that with the trip I can play as I please, and what I play seems to create an enthusiastic vibe. Human nature would not be what it is without getting a buzz from at the end of a five and a half hour set acknowledging applause, so many many thanks, its much appreciated.
As much “fun” as it is, you do need to concentrate, keep a musical flow going, sort some sort of sequencing, deal with requests, chat with our great regulars. I can usually assess how well an evening went by the state of the records/filing, and at the end of trip 59 they were in a mess! The session also never really “finishes” either. Once the evening is over there is the “lugging”, typing and posting this, copying mini-discs, and now facebook. Once that’s done its straight to ideas for the next session. These normally come to a head about a week before the night when the tunes I want to play get checked out, but often I go right to the wire. The obvious “mistake” with regard to the “wall display/photos” this month is I so wanted to play some Dennis Wilson, due to the great programme about him the night before, but he didn’t get on. Shame on me!
Apologies as well, but the 8 new cd’s were not ready, but they will be available at the next session or in the shop in the meanwhile. Plus so many thanks to Pete and his lady for trekking all the way from Swindon, I hope it was worth the effort, and a million thanks to Pete for doubling my blue note sevens collection to 40. This man has more than 10 times that amount, bless him, and I thought I was a blue note collector, no competition! This sevens thing however means I must devote more time to them especially as I am in my 45th year of playing out. So at each session for the rest of this year at least one hour devoted to 45’s.
So we finally reached tune 1,000, with the old boy running with it as a “pick of the pops countdown”. It’s too late for a radio career for me but sometimes I think what I attempt is a show for radio but “live”.
Most of what I wanted to cover got on, not as much “African”, and more James Last than expected. Thanks to the mighy ac for pushing me in the hansi direction. I would never have gone for this without a push, but boy did it work. The night was dedicated to Johnny Dankworth and Dale Hawkins, bless them both, and blessed by Gil Scott-Heron’s new LP.. Please note the next session is on APRIL 3rd., a week later than usual,

GIL SCOTT-HERON…ME AND THE DEVIL BLUES, such a buzz around gil that on goes this standout from the new lp-essential!
..and then the “hit” of the session, I don’t believe it!!!
JAMES LAST MEGAMIXED BY ME!…bit of a miscue, then INNER CITY BLUES/SILVER MACHINE/TWO TRIBES/ AQUARIUS/AI NO CORRIDA, with mor! later.
BILLY COBHAM…STRATUS, saw him last week at ronnie scotts, the drummer that “inspired” massive attack., into which I easily mixed…
MASSIVE ATTACK…SAFE FROM HARM, the lp version.
GANGSTARR…MOMENT OF TRUTH, one of my all time greats of the hop –hip genre.
…then we moved via brian fayes pop 40 countdown music to tune 9,997, a replay of tune 500…
JOHN COLTRANES…A LOVE SUPREME, “the best jazz record ever”, and when I played this originally at tune 500, I produced a paper justifying my decision.
DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER…AFRO-BLUE, played as tune 1,000 to be an obscure vocal jazzy funky offering with afro in the title, gilles fave and Japanese issue only.
CCS…WHOLE LOTTA LOVE, originally played as tune 2,000, now played as tune 9,999, meant to reflect something british-this was at the height of jazz brittania on bb4 originally-and a cover of a known tune.
FINALLY TUNE 10,000---4-HERO…BLACK GOLD OF THE SUN, much requested and enquired about over the years with the “populist” in me going for the crowd pleasing “modern “version rather than the divine original by rotary connection, oh well that’s show-biz!
GRANT GREEN…A DAY IN THE LIFE, vied with 4-hero for the top tune, much enquired about, but more obscure but with the afro-vibe written right through it.
STEVIE WONDER…GOLDEN LADY, lovely lady asks for this and as we are chatting I produce it in my right hand, oh the joys of proper filing!
EPMD…STRICTLY BUSINESS, andy’s been in my boxes and out comes his fave hip hopper.
DJ SHADOW...NAPALM BRAIN, shads nicks billy cobham’s beats.
OMNI TRIO…TRIPPIN’ ON BROKEN BEATS, request for some drum and bass, from 1996 on moving shadow, no probs.
WINSTONS…AMEN, BROTHER, 1971, the original drum and bass break beat track.
JAMES LAST…TWO TRIBES again/WHEN DOVES CRY/LET THE SUNSHINE IN, with the might ac wearing his last t-shirt, and me doing a competition re. hans.
MASSIVE ATTACK…SAFE FROM HARM(-clip-) then intoUNFINISHED SYMPATHY, not played for ages and usually at the end of the evening.
SPANKY WILSON…SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE, to compensate for not having ella’s version.
GIL SCOTT-HERON...THE BOTTLE, 80’s live version, bless him.
ROY BUDD…WHO DARES WINS, for pete, this one got a mention when the evening was coverd by the local press.
GROOVE HOLMES...THEME FROM $6,000, 000 MAN, pre-empting our “usual” film /tv themes end of night tunes
TREVOR BURGESS…THEME FROM DEPT. S, recorded live in a torquay hotel, twisterific.
.…. then wadges of film/tv to finish including
MONKEY MAGIC/CHIPS/SWEENEY/STAR WARS/GHOSTBUSTERS/BATMAN/A-TEAM/KINKY BOOTS, and finally
BEATLES…HELLO, GOODBYE and JACKSON 5…NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE with

Well ye olde Blagrave Arms resounded to the sound of ska, and more, yet again with another full house. Special guest Rude Pete ensured the Skaometer was swinging well that way with two great sets. Dan was proudly displaying his mega rare blue cat sevens sleeve, as well as dropping some corkers. Keith played some great ones as well from the handful of sevens he had with him (quality not quantity) but didn’t write any of his tunes down. Smiler came armed from his recent interview with Jimmy James/Count Prince Miller, and the launch of the Mod Chronicles book which he contributed to. I was recovering from a night at Ronnie Scotts the evening previous and raving over the new Gil Scott-Heron lp. The night was dedicated to the late Johnny Dankworth.
So on with the tunes, about 100 listed, and excuse any typos, but I seem to spend half my life typing up playlists, but then I’m grate like that!

TRIP 30/01/2010

2010-01-30T13:24:00.000-08:00

The trip at the afroba, Session 58, with vintage vinyl, Playlist and Jims ramblings, 30 th. JANUARY 2010. More at www.jimz.biz and Facebook-Jim Donovan
Well with this session we reached my 230 th., involvement with an evening at the a-bar, and session 58 of the trip. Next month I get to play Tune 10,000, so lots of thinking/ researching going into that one, plus 8 new cd’s should be available. So back to session 58. I had a lot of “themes/artists” worked out to possibly play most of them, especially a Latin/Afro Cuban one to complement the amazing BBC4 documentary the night before, and African tunes to complement the new issue of Waxpoetics. I managed to get a lot of Latin on, but had to cut back on the African stuff due to too many requests for other tunes coming in. However Waxpoetics will still be “current’, next month so hopefully more then. The might AC guested with two great sets of tunes I wish I had thought of, and we gave away more copies of his great cd. I managed to start with virtually a cd’s worth of Cool jazz, again another recent BBC4 show, and dropped some Dre/NWA etc., due to Miles P. Donovans (mpd) “influence”. Matt managed the bar on his tod, in spite of the night being very busy, and I had to finish with my usual load of crap, well worse crap!, to clear the place. This is starting to backfire on me however as Jews For Jesus, is starting to receive some “dance action”, when it’s supposed to shoo you out!!
I am listening to the playback as I type this and every so often I have to stop and think “that was a blinder”, I’ve just done it again to Harold Melvin, and I’m only about two hours in. Right here comes the playlist, and as I’m a virgin to Facebook, keep an eye on my page-Jim Donovan (photo of an old bloke playing drums), as I’m posting photos and details of the nights tunes.
NEXT SESSION IS ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 27th

DEXY’S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS…COME ON EILEEN, mobilediscotastic.

CLUB RUDE- 21st JANUARY, 2010,- WITH VINTAGE VINYL, PLAYLIST AND RAMBLINGS-MORE AT www.jimz.biz, plus you can now find me on facebook!!!-I’m just Jim Donovan
Well for a post Christmas session we were not expecting a massive turnout but we were all pleasantly surprised by the attendance, so thank you to those that did spend the night with us. The sad bit was the obituaries since the last session, Willie Mitchell, Lyn Tait, Yabby U, Mike Evans of the Action, who all had some tunes played in memorium.
On the positive side, it’s now 50 years since the birth of the Bluebeat label, so a few from that year got dropped together with the Skaometer (thanks pete for the loan of it!) registering over 50% of the tunes played were of that genre, up from 25% during the last four sessions. A little more jazz on the Jassometer also registered! , and I think over 90% of the tunes were written down.
Keith had recently returned from Jamaica, with Bob Marley’s sevens bag!, Dan played yet more stuff on labels I had never heard of!, and Smiler with his new years resolution to see his big book of mod published this year, after the success of the Fleurs .
Thanks also to those who thanked me, especially Keith G. for the audio of the Fleurs gig,, only a select few received a copy and it’s nice to know it was worth the effort, and to our much travelled friends from Swindon, who got a free cd for the effort. The next few months bring with them guest dj’s to keep this old boy especially on his toes, so see you on FEBRUARY 18 th,

2009-12-19T13:26:00.000-08:00

The Trip at the afroba with vintage vinyl --Session 57--19/12/2009,
Playlist and Jim’s Ramblings. More at www.jimz.biz
I have often mentioned before that this night is a little like Deal or No Deal, ie. there is a format of sorts, but each show is different, and again session 57 was just that. For the Saturday nearest to Christmas not to play a single Xmas tune was quite some feat, but as I am doing another evening on Christmas Eve., then I am sure the opposite will apply and you will get an excess of Xmassy stuff then. The “plot” for this one however was to record another cd’s worth of material to add to the six new ones I hope to have for you at the January session. The theme following the articles in the new issue of WAXPOETICS, was to record a Blaxploitation films one, and I did just that during the first hour and a quarter. However about three hours into the evening my minidisk player turned itself off spookily and I thought that I may have lost the recording, but someone was looking after me and the recording was preserved thankfully. With respect to WAXPOETICS the other theme this issue is Library music and I hope on Thursday to record a cd’s worth of that as well to make up to 8 the new batch of cd’s to be made available at the January session.
The evening generally was very up and down with the bar filled one moment and then going quiet and then getting busy again, and request wise it was hip hop and soul generally in demand so that’s what we did, finishing slightly earlier without me having to pack all the equipment away which was pure heaven. Andrew was down to guest but could not make it and sent a lovely mix cd. for me to dish out as competition prizes, with at least five being won. Don’t forget this session gets played back at the afroba during January. So onward and upward to this thursday then an afro break until the January 2010 session on the 31st,

2009-11-28T13:26:00.000-08:00

the trip at the afroba, SESSION 56, with vintage vinyl-28/11/09, PLAYLIST and Jims RAMBLINGS.
Hey, after last months quiet session this one got us back up there again, with a one stage the afroba almost rammed, to its rafters. Two points to make for anyone wishing to take the dj route. The first is, and this is a constant topic amongst those of us that have been playing out for a while, the tunes. Next to a decent sound system, tunes are the only other pre-requisite, and the fact that when dj’img you must determine if you are there to educate or entertain, but you must communicate by either method. I honestly think that the plot for the trip is to try to do both, but uppermost you must entertain. It’s no good playing endless terrific music if the customers have no idea what the tunes are, and if you do you must mix in some music they know. You must also sum up the audience to see if they are listening. I have found over the years, just by looking at people, to make an attempt to ascertain what they would like to hear. At this session it was obvious early on that some ”female orientated music” would be required for one group, and I struggled to find anything too modern to cope with that. Ok this is a vintage evening, but it’s nice to be able to keep everybody happy!
The other weird thing is intuition!I started with a French tune, not knowing then that a little later a lovely French visitor, would ask me to play some more tunes from his country. So basically if you are out there with an audience don’t hit them with a bedroom/radio dj set, unless the customers are very clearly attending for an evening like that and expect to be “educated”. Now the other point. Equipment. At another session recently one of my turntables slowed down to a stop. I banged it a few times and it got me through the evening. I checked it at home and it still worked ok., but and this is a sign of very old age, I took a spare deck with me just in case! So an hour or so in this session the same one started to play up again. Quick as I could I switched to the other deck, and turntabled “Panic” by the Smiths on the dodgy one just to try it again after thumping it a few times! Sure enough it was panic as it did not correct itself (all this is evident on the playback mini disc, with the odd few gaps/slowdowns), and so I had to cable in the spare one to get us through the evening, which it did, bless it. I always take with me a spare amp., but fortunately this is the first time an extra turntable was with me, as I often joke it’s possible to get by with one turntable providing you can manage to talk in between switching the discs over, but I would not commend it.
The planned bits like lots of new tunes/the ”obituary” section, plus only one that gilles played recently did get on. The rest like the french connection, afroba faves and the mobile disco-with lots of dancing, well away from the decks, towards the end was the “improvised” bit.
Please note that during December you get to hear an extra session. The “normal”, if that’s the right word, session is on DECEMBER 19th, which will be an up for it session but without too much Xmassy stuff, with Andrew guesting. Then on CHRISTMAS EVE, DECEMBER 24th, you get the more mellow christmas pies, jingle bell jazz, Xmas tunes, slightly more laid back session to ease you into Christmas day, bcnu-hopefully/Jimbo jambo jazzbo.

Well another fabbo sesh, not quite as full as usual but several new faces and a pretty good vibe. Smiler was fresh from the Fleurs book launch/event of the year at the 100 Club a week earlier and had slipped in a dj’ing trip to Spain in between. Dan was also on hand with his dj’ing stint at the 100 Club to add to his cv, and Keith made the session this month with his jazzy moments, which of course didn’t get written down! Also Nick joined us for a set having returned to the wheels of steel after 20 years. Also in the place was the man himself Mr. Keith Guster fresh from drumming up a storm at the Fleurs reunion. The Fleurs evening is pretty well covered on YOU TUBE, with Al MacKenzie, Chris Farlowe and Sharon Tandy currently showing. I managed to get a few tunes onto audio on the night and played back two during my “live” Fleurs and Connections set, which sounds pretty good, for me anyway !, and it might be possible to press it up as a freebie cd. Damian could not make the evening but he bust several guts to get the 100 Club evening organised, which means I must get him a new gut for Xmas. Our next sesh. is our annual Xmas knees and everything else up on DECEMBER 17th. I started this evening half an hour earlier than normal and because we had some after work customers in kept the tunes to slightly more 60’s top 40.

the TRIP AT THE AFROBA, READING WITH VINTAGE VINYL-SESSION 55-THE LAST SAT. EACH MONTH-PLAYLIST FOR 31st OCTOBER 2009 AND JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE AT HYPERLINK "http://www.jimz.biz" www.jimz.biz
The trip session 55, 323 minutes and 22 seconds of some old bloke playing gramophone records. I feel like that’s the only comment I should make after the first session for ages that didn’t quite produce the afro vibe due to the bar only being about half full. However those of you that did come were exposed to much of the same set that I would have played anyway, and the playback sounds pretty much ok, so lets hope that when it gets played back at the afroba, more ears get to hear it! It seems like the first time for ages that with Halloween falling on a Saturday, everybody wanted to dress up and whiz around town rather than stay in one spot. Those that did attend were “treated”, or tricked into free poundshop horror sweeties that were “natural and artificial”! Lets hope the nhs can cope with the aftermath! I also put up a few classic original horror posters to add to the atmosphere. Although quite a few requests came in it was not as many as usual and I managed to get most of the “planned” tunes on. These included a few Gilles had played recently/Wah Wah Watson in the new issue of Waxpoetics/ Ronnie Scotts jazz club 50 th anniversary/ Several tunes on jonny trunks label due to his visit to reading the night before/ Lots of Halloween samples/horror tunes with a “God” one at the end to “balance” the session and spare me going to confession!. I did miss playing the new Waxpoetics single , the Fleur De Lys tunes and tracks from trunks first release back in 1995, which I will get on next month on NOVEMBER 28th, bcnu or not! Count Jimula (dj zero not dj hero).

GRAHAM BOND…FREAKY BEAK, thanks jonny for dropping this the night before, and apologies for seeing him live at the albert hall in 1969, that’s graham not jonny!
LES BAXTER…DUNWICH, think jonny dropped this as well, from the dunwich horror s/t, almost axelrod!

BOBBIE (BOBBY) GRAHAM…ZOOM, WIDGE AND WAG, the night was dedicated to this late great and very prolific session drummer.
NIGHTWARES ON WAX…LES NUITS, two hours in and after a fairly busy start the a-bar clears a bit, so we drop back down and “start again”

CLUB RUDE at the BLAGRAVE ARMS, READING-15/10/09-PLAYLIST and JIM’S RAMBLINGS
MORE AT www.jimz.biz
I often use a speech sample from a Flintstones lp at my other sessions which says” You can’t go back in time, today is today and yesterday is gone forever, you can’t turn back the clock”. Well I beg to differ. Having been there for most of this music/atmosphere the first time around, all I have to do is shut my eyes and I am back there
( There are one or two people however who wish I had stayed there! ) The Blagrave are also very happy with the evening as we continue to pull in slightly more business, due to our great regulars and newbies, than the Goths.
This session was another landmark one as Smiler had with him promo copies of RARE MOD VOL.2, all unreleased tracks, that Damian and himself have compiled for Acid Jazz, together with a copy of the Fleurs 4 track ep which complements the book on the band the geezers will see published in November ( the rumours surrounding the guestlist for the 100 Club launch abound, but its safe to say that as an added bonus at least 2 60’s club icons will also give their vocal chords an outing backed by the Small Fakers). Keith could not make the session and Smiler got away with dropping Lulu, one I would never have contemplated, until I heard it blasting out, superbo!. This gave me the opportunity, but I was going to play them anyway!, to drop The Doc Thomas Group and Mott the Hoople, for personal reasons. Dan also dropped the superb Manish Boys for I think the first time. So the next time I type up one of these, after the session on NOVEMBER 19th, the 100 Club Fleurs gig will have happened and will get fully reported ( Also see the current RECORD COLLECTOR for a great article on the book and the band). BCNU- Not the Legendary Jim
( PS/Pete has already confirmed to me what his topic for discussion will be on the forum, so keep it, oh well!)

TRIP 27/09/2009

2009-09-27T13:29:00.000-07:00

The trip at the afroba, with vintage vinyl, Session 54, 27/9/09, Playlist and Ramblings with Jim.
I honestly do not think I will ever get tired of this night, and lets hope its runs forever-if only!
The ability to play what I please and that which seems to please the great crowd we get in is a great joy. It also fascinates me that although we get our regulars, and bless them, where would I be without them, we also get groups of new faces. At this session these newbies seemed to be on top form as most of the prizes went their way. The “plot” for this one I wrote down and intended to cover the following-Autumn tunes/Rashied Ali/Beatles or cover versions/The various reunions coming up-Lulu and Chaka, Mott the Hoople, Cliff and the Shads, The Nolans!(I managed to “forget” the last two)/The Dells with their member John Carter recently passing. I also wanted to pay respects to a very dear friend of mine who passed away recently. For once I managed to get most of this in, (although the tribute to Ronnie Scotts jazz club reaching 50 was missed), deal with requests, and finished the evening showing some of the afroba ladies how easy it is to bung records on. So another one bites the dust, with our Halloween session in October falling on the very night, the 31st, so come spooked up, and don’t forget this entire recorded session, music only without my chat, gets played back during October at the afroba, the only place to trip out to in reading. More playlists/ details at www.jimz .biz---bcnu hopefully-Jim.

CLUB RUDE at the BLAGRAVE ARMS READING, THE THIRD THURSDAY EVERY MONTH WITH VINTAGE VINYL, PLAYLIST FOR SESSION HELD ON 17/09/09, AND JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE PLAYLISTS/DETAILS AT www.jimz.biz.
Well another session that although there were a lot of regulars elsewhere, seemed to hit the spot, with lots of new faces and an evening that took advantage of the later finishing time. Dan was on his hols so joining the Smilesmeister, Keith and myself was Mick who dropped some great tunes but didn’t to write most of them down. I did manage to help the old boy out by writing down his first set, but missed the others. “Rules of rude” subsection 3 paragraph 9, clearly states all guests will weald the pen as well as the styli!! So the night was generally a little like last month ie. not so Ska. dominated. I suppose however with the launch of the Fleurs book getting ever closer the British bands are getting a bit more of a look in. Also if you have not got tickets for the book launch, get ‘em quick, as it looks like the evening couldl be riddled with celebs, look for clues in this playlist!

CLUB RUDE THE XMAS RAVE 2009 on 17/12/09, at the BLAGRAVE ARMS, READING
- WITH VINTAGE VINYL-PLAYLIST and RAMBLINGS. MORE at www.jimz.biz
Well I think rammed is the word, with this year our first at the Blagrave, being just that. You hardly had room to swing your thing! Mr. Edwards, who travels such a distance to be with us, bless him, joined Smiler, Dan , Keith and myself on the steels of wheel and we all just about managed to get through the main part of the evening without turntabling too much Xmassy stuff. Smiler wheeled out his competition to name 50 personalities, and the winners the Bracknell boys managed 46, with a consolation prize going to the best named team
” Quizteam Keeler!”.
Also we managed to dish out over 30 free cd’s to our lovely regulars, bless ‘em, plus a few fleurs “live” cd’s with two going to the winners of the joe meek competition. Keith G. joined us again fresh from a name check on Brian Matthews show the previous Saturday. Smiler also had on hand copies of his and Damians book on the Fleurs, which is selling well, so bag one before it’s sold out.
The playlist this time is a little short, as I am, due to lack of pens and toooo much booze (the bar took more than double their usual takings), so starting below are the tracks from the free cd, followed by about half the tunes played on the evening.
Have a great 2010, and see you on 21st January, Jimbo.
