TRIP 28/01/12

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
