TRIP 29/10/2010

The trip at the afroba with vintage vinyl, SESSION 67-29th OCTOBER 2010, HALLOWEEN SPECIAL PLAYLIST and JIMS RAMBLINGS. MORE at www.jimz.biz, and FACEBOOK-JIM B. DONOVAN or AFROBA GROUP. NEXT SESSION ON NOVEMBER 27th
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! So onward and up ward to the next session, with news then of our Xmas specials-Yours, Count Jimula.

TRIP 25/09/2010

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

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. We are back to “normal”, next month but are already working on a super duper Christmas special-Rickidy Tickedy, Bcnu-Jim.

TRIP 31/07/2010

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.
HARRY BECKETT…NO TIME FOR HELLO, harry was due to play at readings jazz cafĂ© two days earlier, and byron wallen stepped in to do a tribute to the man.

BECK…DEVILS HAIRCUT, mucho afro played tune.

RUDE 15/07/2010

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.

TRIP 26/06/2010

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 clichĂ©, 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.

CLUB RUDE 7th BIRTHDAY SPECIAL AT THE BLAGRAVE ARMS, READING, PLAYLIST AND MY RAMBLINGS. MORE AT www.jimz.biz and FACEBOOK-CLUB RUDE or PAUL ANDERSON or JIM B. DONOVAN.
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.
