NO ROOM FOR SQUARES session 40, JAZZORISIT ON VINTAGE VINYL PLAYLIST, 13thAPRIL 2007. SECOND FRIDAY EACH AND EVERY MONTH. More playlists at www.jimz.biz…………………………………………………………………….
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)

TRIP 26/02/2011
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-

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-

Well we didn’t even need the tardis for this one. At the press of a button it was 1966 ish, with the Ricky Tick coming back to life after well over 40 years away. Martin Fuggles our guest dj., who last played at the tik 44 years ago took the evening to a high after 10.00, playing the tunes that shook the club all those years ago. Most of all thanks to all of you who came to make up our biggest and most receptive audience yet. I better not name check them all in case I leave someone out, but they are all pictured on Facebook either at CLUB RUDE, or Paul Anderson, or Jim B Donovan or the various links from those pages. We must mention Ali MacKenzie however who was with us with the Birds brand new single, a magnifico double “A” sided seven. Thanks also of course to Smiler-who put the theme together-, Dan and Keith for setting the mood. The next session is on March 17th., with loads more previous playlists and details at my new revamped site.

CLUB RUDE IS A “ROOTSOFCLUBMUSICNIGHT”-PRODUCTION.
60'S SOUL TIME/ALLSORTS
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.

THE TRIP AT THE AFROBA-WITH VINTAGE VINYL-THE LAST SATURDAY EACH MONTH-PLAYLIST FOR SESSION 70 ON 30th JANUARY 2011. MORE AT www.jimz.biz, and JIM B. DONOVAN and AFROBA GROUP ON FACEBOOK.
Well another pretty “interesting” session with the bar quite full for the final three hours. The “plot”, which always gets altered was to play mostly standout tunes played last year. Some of those got on but the evening was peppered with requests, and my new format to feature a different artist each month. I picked Marvin Gaye this month with Gil Scott Heron to feature in February. Please do not forget that the afroba now runs with a “sister” session to the trip on the last Thursday called Tracks and Grooves, which is next on FEBRUARY 24th, with the trip following on FEBRUARY 26th. Feel free to join the AFROBA GROUP on FACEBOOK to be kept up to date on details and playlists. Also the trip is recorded and played back at the afroba during the week. Look forward to seeing you at the next session, be there or be somewhere else!...Jim
