This episode of All Kinds Of Everything featured lots of vibraphone with two Cal Tjader selections – one as bandleader and one alongside Eddie Palmieri. More vibes from Carabali (Valerie Naranjo), New Swing Sextet, a couple from Joe Cuba and one from Dorance Lorza and Sexteto Cafe who play El Swing on Saturday June 11 tickets here.
Two tracks from Jean-Claude’s excellent “If Music presents You Need This: An Introduction To Enja Records”, “Mirrors” from Kendrick’s “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers”, funky Malawian folk from Madalitso Band, new Braziliana from Bruno Berle, timeless funk from Sly and The Family Stone, tasty new cuts from DOMi & JD BECK and also from Harvey Young. Heavy new single from Soothsayers and, staying in Brixton, blues harp maestro, Errol Linton, also featured ahead of his Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses show (as part of Mambista) on Sunday June 19 tickets here. June 19 is also Juneteenth in the US – officially Juneteenth National Independence Day – a federal holiday in the United States celebrating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans. Oscar Brown Jr, Nina Simone, Mavis Staples with Levon Helm helped mark the occasion. We finished up with a great version of Chameleon reissued courtesy of Paul Murphy’s Jazz Room label.
