TRIP MIXCLOUD PROJECT


THIS IS THE INNER SLEVE NOTE FROM 2009, THAT WAS ISSUED WITH THE 16 DIFFERENT CD’S THAT I PRODUCED, THAT WERE RECORDED LIVE FROM MY VINYL SETS AT THE AFROBA, NOW MILK. AS WE GET CLOSE TO SESSION 100 OF THE TRIP IN JULY, I HOPE TO HAVE THE CONTENTS OF THEM ALL ON MIXCLOUD. THE FIRST TWO, WHICH COVER SOME OF THE VERY VARIED GROUND THE NIGHT COVERS, WILL BE UP THERE SOON, WITH THE OTHERS, WHICH WERE “THEMED” TO FOLLOW…………
Well the time has finally come again. After playing one heck of a lot of tunes at the afroba, I have finally bowed to requests for yet more cd.s and this is one of the second batch of 8 which was recorded ”live” at the afroba. The first batch of issues 1 to 8 of which 50 each were pressed up have now gone so we move on in 2010 to issues 9 to 16, all recorded during 2009. It would have been easy to have done it at home, but I don’t do easy. Lugging tons of equipment and record cases into the afroba is how it should be-honest! I also tried my best not to pre-empt what would be on these cd’s. The trip, which was always a bit of an odd name is the only session still at the afroba.The name however relating more to rock than dance/jazz music was chosen purely to relate an ongoing journey moving up branch lines and “dot joining” as Gilles calls it. The move to a Sat. night also altered its structure (as during the week when I was involved with the program and no room for squares-now there is a name that implies a jazz base- evenings) a slightly more “party” atmosphere had to be created. However as with my virtual lifetime of playing out in clubs in the 60’s and then my mobile years some of the music is dictated by your customers. I can now play some obscure but you have to drop some tunes that are known or at least known via their later sampling. My cop out is that little of what I play comes originally from me. I pinch tunes from Gilles Peterson (Ross Allen in the old days), Waxpoetics/Radio Playlists, Tunes used in TV adverts, and topical events, the other dj’s I play with, and Bootsale finds ( I gave up charity shops years ago). My greatest joy however for which I must thank the afroba is just being allowed to get on with it without music policy or bleedin ”funky house” or “dubstep” getting in the way. Never did I think that I would be able to play five and a half hour sets of for example nothing but an entire evening of the music of Miles Davis or British jazz or Spiritual jazz etc., as I have done here and since I record all my evenings I have my own five and a half hour “mixtape” to play back in the shop and then give to the afroba to play back on other evenings. You should take a look atwww.jimz.biz  for some of the older playlists in case you are not sure what you will be listening to should you visit the a-bar when I’m up and running. If you do visit on the last Sat. however you get an exclusive newsletter, that is more rambling than this, and a copy of the previous playlist  in case you see any tunes you fancy and want to request them. The music “policy” where it exists is to play tunes with a tint of jazz/soul/black music and does not normally stray into indie, pop or rock except when it does! I would like to thank  afro-chris, anthony, channie, andrew, veris, dean, tom, the old “I betya crew”, jack fallon and bill reid ( who started me down this dj road 45 years ago), the amazing unappreciated musicians who left us such a legacy of tunes, the vinyl industry-now over 60 years young, my kids who keep me young!, and something that I cannot put my finger on that in 1959 turned me onto this music. In the words of Curtis Mayfield ”Bite your lip and take a trip”
  Thanks for reading this but most of all enjoy this cd., which for reasons of economy runs as one track-BCNU hopefully-

Jim(aka Jazzy Jim/Humphrey Pumphrey/dj Baby Boomer of the 1600 Club/The Blue Moon/Disco Express/The Wabe/Jimz Disco/Club Rude/The Program/Rare Function/No Room For Squares, to mention but a few I remember!)

TRIP 30/03/2013


THE TRIP PLAYLIST WITH VINTAGE VINYL, SESSION 97 AT MILK, READING ON SATURDAY 30th MARCH 2013, WITH Jim. More playlists at  www.jimz.biz and listen to this session recorded on MIXCLOUD-Jim B. DONOVAN. NEXT SESSION ON SATURDAY APRIL 27th, always on the last Saturday.

 Well considering I had been involved with Andrews night at MILK, two nights before, where we played to a very packed house, I was not expecting an enormous turnout. Wrong! A very busy evening, with me in the middle of 5 continuous sessions in almost as many days. No “plot” as usual, and quite different from last month, with less requests, leading to me “doing my own thing”, corny expression! The response to this and my other session at MILK, on the first Tuesday-NO ROOM FOR SQUARES- on MIXCLOUD has been very good, so those of you who were there, but not paying too much attention, can now listen back at your leisure. The next session links with the “Are You Listening” Festival, so who knows what will get on?

  Well another one in the can, this one with a little latin/bossa flavor due to our friends from the Oxford Arts Group being in attendance. Thanks to them for coming the distance. The other tunes were pretty random, with no set theme, and ranged from 70’s syn-jazz! to polish 60’s jazz, via quite a lot of “dinner jazz”, early in the evening, and an attempt to get in a little more vocal jazz than usual. Thanks to Tim for bringing in the final tune, a very modern one, for me anyway! The next session is on TUESDAY MAY 7th, always on the first Tuesday.

TRIP 23/02/2013


PLAYLIST FOR THE TRIP-WITH VINTAGE VINYL-SESSION 96, 23/2/2013. MORE PLAYLISTS AR www.jimz.biz , click on links, then JIMZPLAYLISTS. ALSO NOW AVAILABLE TO LISTEN TO ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN. NEXT SESSION MARCH 30 th. –ALWAYS ON THE LAST SATURDAY.
 Well considering I was not in the best of health, I managed to get through five and a half hours without too many problems, I think! The bar was pretty busy with a nicely full and seated crowd for the first few hours, then a pretty packed one later on. I personally like the early segment as “mellow”, really suits Milk, but that did not stop the evening morphing into a bit of a “rave –up”(now that’s an expression that shows my age), later on. It was so busy I could not easily get at my LP/12” boxes, so relied a lot on the sevens boxes which were with me behind the decks. As a result the evening became a little more “vintage top 40 orientated” than usual. If you do take a listen to some of it on Mixcloud, head for the most obscure one –The 35 th Street Band-with the “Dance Of Love”, as the very opposite of top 40. This one suffered sales wise because it deals with an African fertility dance-say no more!
  I pop up again on MARCH 5th , with my jazzorizit night NO ROOM FOR SQUARES, always on the first Tuesday, and Smiler and Keith dj at another “jazz tinged session” at MILK on March 9th. ”Jazz”, is back, or like vinyl, has it ever been away?
