Gerry Lyseight : All Kinds Of Everything
Monthly, 2nd Wednesday 4-6pm
African, Latin, Jazz, Funk, Reggae, Soul, Salsa
I have to thank Totally Wired Radio for reminding me about my Deep South record label from the early/mid-90s that comes up in my TWR biography. Prompted by TWR I have gone back and given some of our output another listen. Another prompt was meeting with vibes-master Roger Beaujolais at a mutual friend’s party as Roger was part of a Deep South release called Mazacote (with percussionist Pete Eckford). Pleased to say they still sound good so I plan to play a couple of examples of our small, but perfectly formed, output on the show! Roger also had a number of releases on Acid Jazz with his Vibraphonic outfit.
My last All Kinds Of Everything was a celebration of International Women’s Day with an all-female playlist. I ended the show with a track from the debut EP from (then!) all-female London Jazzers, Nerija, but I messed up my timings and had to fade them out before they got going so I’ll be starting the next show with them to make sure it doesn’t happen again!
The one and only Lee Scratch Perry would have been 86 last month and to celebrate and remember his life and doings, specialist reggae scribe, David Katz, hosted an evening at The Social with guests Dennis Bovell and Adrian Sherwood who regaled us with their Upsetter anecdotage! David has updated his Scratch biography, People Funny Boy. So I’ll be featuring music from Scratch and Adrian as well as Dennis Bovell’s new “THE DubMASTER” double album anthology; and lots of other good stuff across the genres.
We will also remember The Mighty Diamonds who lost 2 of their 3 members in tragic circumstances of a matter of days. Donald “Tabby Diamond” Shaw and Fitzroy “Bunny Diamond” Simpson, RIP
