From now on every Friday I'm gonna post some classic music moments from Youtube for your listening pleasure-i'll also throw in one new tune which is big at the moment!
Curtis Mayfield-"Keep On Keepin On" The voice, the vibe, the positivity
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "Ain't no mountain high enough" What can I say still sends shivers down my spine and I still play it nearly every Saturday night!
Minnie Riperton-"Reasons" My favourite female vocalist besides Aretha
Zhane-"Hey Mr.DJ" The Ultimate Friday night song from 1994 a very important record in my music career
A Tribe Called Quest-"Electric Relaxation" Another monster track that I still play my favorite hip-hop crew of them all
Tune of the week!
Gnarls Barkley "Who Cares" Been around for ages but who cares? Another big tune from DangerMouse and Cee-Lo!
Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff comes to Cork for the first time!
Jimmy Cliff was excellent last night at the Savoy. This guy is one of the most important reggae figures of them all and his role and involvement in "The Harder They Come" helped spread the already well known reggae stars name across the world at the start of the 70's. This paved the way for everyone from Bob Marley to Lee Perry to make inroads Woirldwide and it led to reggaes massive influence over popular culture in the last 30 years. Jimmy is now well into his 60's but he is still an amazing performer with incdredible energy. His band were amazing too and the eager crowd in Savoy were delighted with the show. We went out for a few drinks with Dwight and some other members of the band afterwards and they told us how Red Bull and Guinness is there favourite combination when they party! "It make you go boom boom with ya gal all night mon"; nice one for the tip lads but i'll pass. Amazingly for Jamaican reggae stars none of the band smoke "the herb", which could also explain the high energy levels and boundless enthusiasm! We headed over to the Crane Lane Theatre which has recently been opened by Benny McCabe.I know Benny for years and I remember years ago when he had left school early and opened his first bar in Snotty Joes. He has come along way since then and learnt his trade well. His new bar is superb and i've been well impressed with the old skool vibe of the place on my few vists so far. I wish him all the best with it. You catch Ron Sexsmith there this weekend. And be sure to ask for a "Red Bull and Guinness" if you are at the bar!
Jazzy Jeff absolutely killed it again at Jam last night! It's always great to get him back as he is the ultimate party DJ. A lot of the crowd at Jam would have changed a bit from the first few years we were running but Jeff is the best guy to be both educating and entertaining a young crowd about the roots of hip-hop. His 'Hip-hop Forever 3" compilation is another illustration of why he is the best at combining good quality modern hip-hop with some classics from hip-hop's golden age, an age which he helped usher in too! It's impossible to mention highlights of last nights set but D'Angelo, Lynn Collins, Carl Thomas, The Emotions, Aretha, Jill Scott, Jeru, Royce 5"9, James Brown, Michael Jackson, The Eurythmics, Biggie, Jay Z and Prince all got spins. He also had the ultimate MC in tow again. Skillz is a legendary MC in his own right, but he is the prefect guy to work with Jeff, as his timing is incredible and he knows just when to deliver. Unfortunately he brought us bad news too as Philly soul singer Gerald Levert passed away last night and he would have been quite well known to Jeff and company. They played a fitting tribute at the end of the night though with his classic number "Casanova". RIP The atmosphere was excellent in the Savoy and it's no suprise that Jeff loves this gig. We went back to the hotel where he typically had a production set-up and was eager to share with me some of his forthcoming stuio album, "The Return of the Magnificent". I've been getting sneak previews of this since his last visit and I've gotta say, it's looking like a bit of a classic. I've previously heard tunes featuring Musiq, CL Smooth, Rhymefest and more, but last night he played us tracks with Little Brother, Raheem De Vaughan and Method Man which are banging! He hooked me up with loads of exclusives as usual (nice singer named China Black) but you'll have to catch my Black on Red show for details on them! We had a great chat about music for a few hours and we discussed our mutual love of his record label B.B.E. amongst other things. Pete at B.B.E. is doing some amazing things musically and as a long term follower of the label I was delighted to hear some of Jeff's plans for future recordings. His biggest problem is trying to get off the road for sufficient time to record more but there is no doubt that there are plenty of more classics coming from Jazzy Jeff. A bigger gentleman you will never find to be homest, the fact that he is one of the greatest hip-hop DJ's and producers in the world is simply a bonus. Respect.
