TRIP 25/01/2014

PLAYLIST FOR THE TRIP –WITH VINTAGE VINYL-AT MILK READING, SESSION 107 ON 25^th JANUARY 2014. LISTEN TO THIS SESSION AND OTHERS ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN. THE NEXT SESSION IS ON FEBRUARY 22^nd. BCNU-Hopefully-Jim.

A VERY BUSY NIGHT, WITH THE USUAL GLITCHES WHEN THE BAR GOT REALLY BUSY, AND I COULD NOT EVEN GET TO MY TUNES! A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A SLANT TO CLASSIC FUNK SOUL AND DISCO, BUT THAT REALLY IS THE BEDROCK OF THIS NIGHT. HOWEVER A FEW POPPY AND PUNKY ONES SLIPPED IN TOGETHER WITH OUR USUAL DOSE OF HIP HOP. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DO NOT KNOW READING, THE BAR HAS JUST PURCHASED A COUNTER SECTION OF READINGS ICONIC DEPARTMENT STORE, WHICH HAS RECENTLY CLOSED-JACKSONS, AND THE DECKS NOW RESIDE ON IT. SO WE HAVE ONE OF READINGS OLDEST BUILDINGS, WHERE MILK IS SITED, A BIT OF A VERY OLD READING STORE, AND WHAT'S LEFT OF A VERY OLD DJ ALL IN THE SAME PLACE, EVERY LAST SATURDAY. 

  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO MY QUIETER NIGHT, THE NEXT, NO ROOM FOR SQUARES-JAZZORIZIT-ALWAYS ON THE FIRST TUESDAY-, TO ENABLE ME TO GET MY BREATH BACK! HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS SESSION, AND APOLOGIES FOR THE GLITCHES, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE OF MY DISPLAY STANDS COLLAPSED!!!-Jim

PLAYLIST FOR THE TRIP WITH VINTAGE VINYL SESSION 106, AT MILK READING, ON DEC. 21 ST. The recording is on MIXCLOUD-Jim B. DONOVAN  WELL ONE OF THESE DAYS WE ARE GOING TO GET A PERFECT SESSION, BUT I REALLY ENJOY THE CUT AND THRUST OF DEALING WITH TECCY PROBLEMS-LIKE A NEW SOUND SYSTEM IN THE BAR (WHICH UNUSUALLY I HAD TO TURN DOWN, TO TRY AND GET THE LEVELS RIGHT)-CHATTING TO ATTENDEES, DEALING WITH THE REQUESTS THEY PULL FROM THE BOXES ETC. THIS SESSION WAS THE XMAS ONE, BUT AS XMAS MUSIC DATES SO QUICKLY, LITTLE GOT ON. WHEN IT DID IT WAS OF THE MORE UNUSUAL VARIETY. THE NIGHT WAS VERY VERY BUSY, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE FACEBOOK PHOTOS, AND THE CROWD WERE IN VERY GOOD SPIRITS, WITH HOPEFULLY LOTS OF THEM COMING TO THE NEW YEARS EVE. SESSION, WHEN I GET TO PLAY ALONG WITH SOME OTHER GREAT GUYS. ALL THE BEST FOR CHRISTMAS AND "14. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!-Jim. PS .The next session is on JANUARY 25 th, back to our last Saturday format.

NO ROOM FOR SQUARES 03/12/13

NO ROOM FOR SQUARES-JAZZORIZIT-SESSION 68 AT MILK, READING, WITH VINTAGE VINYL-3/12/13.

 Well after a manic session of the TRIP, two nights before, it was nice to have the “bar to myself”, almost for another session of readings only jazz on vinyl night. I really like to do things the hard way, and we chose Tuesday to do this night because it is the quietest night of the week! Again thanks to the Basingstoke crew for attending, and pulling a few tunes out for me to play. As it did not feel terribly Christmassy only a few xmas tunes got on, but because I had seen the Pharcyde the night before they got featured together with the album they appeared on 20 years ago, Red, Hot and Cool. The recording is on MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN, and the next session is on January 7 th. Have a cool yule and a great new year.

TRIP SESSION 104/105

THE TRIP AT MILK, READING WITH VINTAGE VINYL SESSION 104/105. LISTEN TO THE RECORDING ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN. PLAYLISTS AT www,jimz.biz THE NEXT SESSION IS ON DECEMBER 21 st., OUR XMAS SPECIAL….

Notice that the numbering here covers two sessions!, because that’s what this evening at MILK, READING, turned into. There was no quiet first few hours, as 

the bar was packed when I kicked off at 6.30 and continued to midnight, so it felt like by 9.00 ish I had already undertaken a full night, and then I just “started again” It just shows to expect the unexpected! If you look at the photos on my face book page-Jim B. Donovan-you can see attendees going through my tunes and pulling out requests, which is a lovely way to share the music. This was the first session for a few months that returned the trip musically to a bit of a “mix up” musically, as the last few sessions concentrated on “genres” like Halloween or funk and soul. I have quite a few sessions to do before the new year so keep an ear out if I manage to get them recorded and uploaded. Regards-Jim
