R.I.P. mama africa. went to see josé james 2 weeks ago in heidelberg and been blown away - again. still on a high from the nights before he came in directly from new york and wow, this man is getting better and better - brilliant band as well, robert mitchell on the piano, check his album as well - new wave of uk jazz. plus a special mix which came in just a few hours before the show, out of toulouse/campus radio by gordon cole. true journey into the rythms of black flowers as he named it. enjoyed that, merci bien, gordon! looking very much forward to this saturday 22nd november at hafen2 where i will be joined by alex barck / jazzanova on the turntables for the second soulsearching evening this year at the place with the best sound system. tickets on sale already. . . thats it for now, just enjoy the music, michael

My first time in the country, so nice people, very friendly mentality, good food, wine - and the young ones are really into the music! The festival has been set up as part of the celebrations of 600 years cultural history of Iasi, but i hope there'll be a second edition! Thanks to all the crews there, keep on! Just a couple of hours before my plane took off to Iasi i was still standing behind the decks at what can be described as a special LAZY. early morning moment - playin TUNES for a full smiling crowd dancin into sunrise.

Edit - White END OF MIX END OF SHOW words: One big record, represented here with 4 tunes - speaking about Flying Lotus on Warp of course. Heavy album, top producer. Once again a tribute to the late Jimmy McGriff who left us with such an amount of brilliant music, especially via the Groove Merchant label, search for the "Red Beans" album! A bit of dipping in the soulpatrol box classics like Omar, Detroit Experiment in an live edit and the Gap Bands full 12inch version which does not need any edit I'd say. More Edit pressure for a heavyweight soul tune by the Mellow Madness by Kai Alce. So as the Euros go on and on, just a few hours before the Portugal vs. Germany match is on, i am glad to have excellent mixes by DJ Chicken George out of Austin, Texas, US, providing you with a cool selection of hiphop the way i like it and on the other hand The Mole out of Canadas Wagon Repair corner with a more disco based 40 minutes...all exclusive style of course! Thanks to both of them, check their productions on ESL music and Swedish Brandy (Chicken George) and the new album "High As The Sky" by Mole. ps. a big loss for the world of jazz, or better - the world of music in general: Esbjorn Svenson died tragically at the age of 44 this week. Rest In Peace and thanks so much for your music! Will try to put together a special for next weeks show. until then, take good care & ... enjoy the music, michael ps. a few hours later....Germany made it, now lookin forward to the semi finals! Big up the whole team but also big up and obrigado Mr. Scolari for his work for the portuguese football!
