Each year my go-to music blog, Said the Gramaphone, posts a list of "100 favourite songs" & this is my introduction to music I wouldn't otherwise know about. For the last several years, I've been making up my own mini-playlists from each year’s bounty; it's a task that causes me to listen intently & think about what I really like & why. It's my party.
(Check out the original list at http://www.saidthegramophone.com/archives/best_son... )
This year I focused on 33 of the 100 songs on Sean’s list & then winnowed that down to 15 solidly impressive tracks, ranging thru hip hop, world music, pop & a few uncategorizable moments. A common thread seems to be impeccable production skills (the killer track being the FourTet Remix of Mura Masa's Lovesick ft A$AP Rocky) but there are many poets of the heart here as well. Familiar names like Drake, Selena Gomez & Lorde share emotional space with strangers like Leif Vollebekk, Yaeji, & Nilüfer Yanya.
Meet new people & enjoy the party!

If you, also, saw the movie Interstellar ... and if, like me, you remember the sensation of awed dread as you realized (perhaps just before the words were spoken on-screen) that those weren't mountains on the horizon, but instead an vast oceanic wave headed your way, then you will be ready for the sense of cosmic enormity that unites these selections, including work from Diatonis, Carbon Based Lifeforms, All India Radio, Matt Coldrick, and Brian Eno.
Like the revelation of that wave's approach, these 90 minutes also offer an opportunity to recognize our place in the scale of things. Oh, and to understand that no emotion, no matter how good or how bad it seems in the event, outlasts our comprehension of it --- just like our sensation that another year has come to a close, when in the larger view, the cosmic view, there is no close, and the wave just rolls on.
Roll on with me, into the new year, with hope, if you can.
Love seeing another jazz fan pop up and comment -- thanks for the kind words. I'm scouring everybody's Best of 2017 jazz lists atm, looking for more to bring to you guys...stay tuned =;^)

09) Matthew Halsall - These Goodbyes 46:55
10) Tweak - Nocturne 49:39
11) Chris Coco - Back to nature 54:46
12) Mr Signout - Gather the Importants ft Wild Silences 58:59
This 68 minute set offers a selection of readily recognizable jazz varieties, from the work of sometimes austere northern Europeans like Nils Frahm, Jan Garbarek, and Bugge Wesseltoft to recognized American masters like Charles Mingus, Sonny Rollins, and Art Pepper. I was lucky enough to also rope in some new and newish releases from UK's brilliant Matthew Halsall; more from him on future shows.
Entertaining us on the roll towards home are Chris Coco and Mr. Signout as the flow carries us into less standard, more lightly jazz-inflected territory, and honestly, the transition seems natural to me ... here's hoping you're open to the experience also.
Speaking of which, there’s possibly a bit of prefiguring going on here, a subject in which perhaps Professor Ouija will eventually take an interest….

If you are familiar with the work of poet Dylan Thomas, you may recall that in 1952 just before he died, he was in America to record some of his work for the Caedmon label; they weren’t intending to record his prose poem, A Child’s Christmas in Wales, but had the time & went ahead with it. And then he was gone.
In 2007, as one in a series of Christmas shows I’d been doing each year, I had the idea to set this piece to music; for its 10th anniversary, I’ve buffed it to a nice new shine, and present it here for the first time.
Through his words, you learn what Christmas was like for children in Wales around the turn of the 20th century, a family-oriented simplicity that may amaze you. I believe the poet’s words are enhanced just a bit through the evocative musical accompaniment, and hope that you’ll agree.

Elevation offers 70 minutes of jazz & jazz-influenced music, starting out mild & thoughtful but rising to a greater energy level over the course of the session, all with the purpose of taking you to a higher plane. The wind beneath your wings on this upward journey comes courtesy of Nostalgia 77, Liz Story, Joshua Redman, Digby Jones, Nils Petter Molvaer, the Jack DeJohnette/Matt Garrison/Ravi Coltrane Trio and more.
A personal note about that Digby Jones track, which I first heard on 2001's Café del Mar Vol. 8 shortly after it was released, and which I think has held up remarkably well for a 'cocktail lounge' piece. Until that moment, most of the electronica I'd been consuming as part of my musical explorations was House, but because I'd gotten here via the 'world music' path, I was looking for something a little less 4/4, which I found in downtempo; Pina Colada was the door into a world that became my favorite place to be.

The view this Thanksgiving season is of the golden light filtering down thru the leaves, with summer dwindling down to just a spark in the review mirror, and the prospect of friends and family, vacation time, holidays and parties all contributing to the glow in your mood ... enjoy it in the company of this new collection of deeply lush downtempo, including tracks from Sade, EMO, Bliss, Bonobo ft Rhye, Emancipator, Jonn Serrie and more.
Special love to Andreya Triana and Lounge Glasses Project for two stellar tracks which coincidentally combined to suggest the show title, just as I was finishing up my re-read of Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon. As those of you familiar with the book’s sub-theme of the massive weight of gold metal will recollect, vast wealth can be an enormous burden. Find your gold in the people and the things you love.

During the week it took for IRMA to actually hit us, it was always possible the system would weaken & dissipate; it might become a storm, it might just be a cloud passing us by. I had started work on two different shows & in the circumstances, gave one the working title of Storm, and the other, Cloud; storm was published as Storm Chills, once we saw the system wouldn’t weaken until after damage had been done.
That left Cloud ... Left it until after the storm, the clean-up & then the concern over what would become of MARIA which, in turn, passed SW FLA by. Left it til after vacation, when the intention shifted... [read more at www.beatconscious.org/#IRMA ]
Because of those influences, this show became more folk/protest-oriented, although there is also a nod to Bladerunner 2049 embedded in there, too. Bringing the word are Tracy Chapman, Ritchie Havens, Neil Young, Sade, Willi Wright, and the spirit of the whole guitar-strumming era of woke folk.

In early 2006, about six months after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, NPR broadcast an interview with some residents of the city, including members of the Mardi Gras Indians who "mask" during the festivities; I was moved by the comments of Big Chief Darryl Montana of the Yello Pocahontas group, and I built a show called “Empathy” around a bit of that clip.
Working on the current show, which is so imbued with the emotions raised by this year’s storms, I remembered that interview and understood how his words would describe the situation of so many people in the wake of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, here and in the islands. We are all in transition, and that's putting it mildly. Hopefully, we’re in recovery as well.
Bringing you the feels this time are Bliss, Cinematic Orchestra, Blank and Jones, Chris Coco, Euphoria, All India Radio (accompanying Darryl Montana), Underwolves, Solid World, SoulGalaxy, and more.
