FROM JAZZ FUNK & FUSION TO ACID JAZZ:

QUOTE (Snowboy @ September 07, 2009 10:32 am)

I have the first Murphy Jazz Club comp but not the second. Did Paul actually play all the stuff off of those comps?

He did - most of the tracks, especially on "jazz club vol. 2" were tried and tested tunes that he played out, e.g. "tv is the thing" and "mack the knife".

I dont recall the tubby Hayes track "pint of bitter" getting played out tho' off that comp, might just be the memory banks failing there...

Obviously much is said in my book about what Paul Murphy played at The Electric Ballroom but it occurred to me that there's nothing about what he played at The Wag. It's odd for me because I played there all the time with different bands and went all the time, but I'll be buggered if I can recall much (probably because I was always pissed!). I'd be interested to see what you lot remember being played Murphy-era Wag? Let's have it!

Someone enquired as to why Jason Jules wasn't in the book, and where he is these days? I didn't know of Jason to be frank and his name didn't come up once in anyone's interviews or my research (which was vast). I realise how important he is now, of course. He co-promoted my 'Beyond The Ballroom' session recently with Paul Bradshaw and was at our 'friends and family' private book launch (which our very own Alan 'appy ammer Al' Arscott attended with his missus). Jasons a lovely man.

Ah - good to hear Jason is stiil on the "scene"

, does he still wear his trade mark beret and Dizzy specs?

WAG era Murphy tunes? I'm your man then.

Here are some of the ones I recall getting played not just at the WAG but also at the Murder One Friday nights sessions at the Sol-Y-Sombra - incredible times...

Paul put out 2 great comps around that time that never seem to get mentioned now - Jazz Club Vol. 1 & 2, then there was the later comp he did in Japan which featured material from the Columbia label - also essential.

There are some flyers from those WAG Jazz Room sessions here:

Great list that Weegee. I have the 2 "Jazz Club" comps you mention but can you give us more details on the Jap one pls mate?.. don't know that one. I've got a Sol y Sombra comp too somewhere. Can't be sure but didn't Paul help compile that too?

The Japanese comp came out to tie in with Paul's trip to Japan - it was on the Sony/CBS label - it included tracks like:

hola muneca - lonnie smith

work song - oscar brown jr

cubano chant - art blakey

Will try and find a full tracklisting for you...

Re. a Sol-Y-Sombra comp - ?? - new one on me. Dave Hucker did a comp of latin stuff - are you thinking of that one?

Re. the list I put together last night - remembered a few more now

:

half and half - poncho sanchez (Concord Jazz)

bilongo - the fania allstars (Fania)

The Dave Hucker comp was on the Caliente label (Charly offshoot) - think it was called "we got latin soul".

I seem to remember Dave telling me at the time that some (all?) of the tracks had been mastered straight from his vinyl collection

BTW - I've added details on the Paul Murphy Japanesee comp to the thread above.

Had to order my copy via Mole Jazz if I recall - never saw it in any of the shops...

Quick heads up...

From Jazz Funk & Fusion to Acid Jazz... to DOWNUNDER

Andrew Delaney and myself will be broadcasting an hour long jazzumentary on Snowboy and the book next Thursday, 10 September at 7pm Melbourne time (10am GMT)

The show features interviews with Snowboy & Gilles Peterson.

People from around the world be able to stream the show live at www.rrr.org.au

I'll upload a podcast of the show for people to check after the live show - details to follow.

Melbournites - hold tight for a book launch.

Big love to Ennio Styles for the plug on his show today.

Caught up with the show this am on the way into work. Really enjoyed it!
Very well edited. The stuff gleaned from Gilles was superb.
To hear him bigging up both Murphy and Bangsy and his articulate explanation of the Acid Jazz explosion was reassuring and refreshing to hear, especially for those of us of a certain age!
Like Snowboy, I too remember hearing Expansions for the first time in the 70's at The Lacy Lady. I was quite obviously behind those on the floor with it, a few of whom had whistled during the intro... and then the B-LINE dropped.... a real "what the fuck is this?" moment! I had to sheepishly ask an older Soul head who it was, then grabbed a pen from behind the bar to write it discreetly on my wrist!

Was quite difficult to buy at the time too!
Perfect promo for the book, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record... everyone on Brownswood should habe brought a copy of Snowboy's book by now!

Great show JB and AD... Utmost respect for your efforts!

Can I join this locked groove Al?

Shame on anyone remotely interested in jazz records you can dance to not owning this book yet!
