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).

ALAN PRICE…I PUT A SPELL ON YOU, currently touring and an all-hallows fave.
EDDIE HARRIS…EXODUS, dropped by gilles recently and on of my early 60’s purchases.
MOS DEF…UMI SAYS, had a feeling I would not get much hip hop on so dropped this one early.
FRIENDS OF DISTINCTION…GREAT DAY, another corker from gilles recent playlist.
COLDCUT..AUTUMN LEAVES, mixmaster morris rub with my dialogue samples under from boris karloff/bela lugosi/halloween film soundtrack-“the boogie man is coming”.
LONNIE SMITH…SPIRITS FREE, in spite of setting up the equipment the day before I did not have enough time before starting to grab some grub, so on goes this great long one so I can nip over the road.
DONNIE ELBERT…TOO FAR GONE, with the fleurs backing him from 1967.
JOHNNY DANKWORTH…RETURN FROM THE ASHES, great moody jazz, sampled to def.

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”

DUSTY SPRINGFIELD…GOING BACK, another great seven, a carole king written classic and one for my own funeral music mix.
PYTHON LEE JACKSON…IN A BROKEN DREAM, rod stewart vocals, and the sample that gave portishead a career.

DR. OCTAGON…BLUE FLOWERS, ditto the above, with playback on this and especially shadow sounding quite professional for a live set.

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!)
