Happy Friday Drivers!
Gonna be a nice dive into the much neglected digital drives for this weeks ride.
Lots of new and semi new grooves to share and you can expect anything from soul, jazz, broken beats house & electronic vibes tied together “Friday Drive” style.
If all goes to plan I’ll be serving a slightly heavier dose from one of my top labels for ecclectic grooves the very aptly named “Heavenly Sweetness” label out of France.
They’ve been very prolific for the last number of years and don’t seem able to put out a bad record, lately.
Thank you taking the time and hope you enjoy the show!

This project is the brain child of local photographer David D Pistol. The project is a celebration of the National Capital Region's (NCR) hip-hop culture, movement, and community. We are looking forward to gather everyone together across generations for a group photo. We understand that many who contributed to the scene are unfortunately no longer with us, but we will be commemorating their contributions and memories in the project. Have you made contributions to the NCR'hip-hop culture over the last 40 years? If yes, you are invited to take part in what promises to be a historical hip-hop multimedia project. The project is inspired by Art Kane's photograph "A Great Day in Harlem (1958)". Over the years there have been multiple remakes, most notably the late great Gordon Park's "A Great Day in Hip Hop" taken in 1997 for XXL Magazine. If you are interested in taking part in this historic project, please register. *Above Image Artist Jimmy Baptiste, “I Am Hip Hop”, 2023, www.jimmybaptiste.ca TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2023 AT 7 PM Music & Meditation “Field Notes” Pete Woods feat.

JUNO award winning drummer and bandleader brings his sextet Turboprop from Toronto. The evening will open with a set by the Ottawa duo of Petr Cancura on woodwinds and Roddy Ellias on guitar. Buy Tickets: https://www.showpass.com/ernesto-cervinis-turboprop/ Doors at 6:30pm 1st set at 7pm: Petr Cancura & Roddy Ellias Duo 2nd set at 8pm: TURBOPROP is: Tara Davidson - Alto Sax Kelly Jefferson - Tenor Sax William Carn - Trombone Adrean Farrugia - Piano Michael Herring - Bass Ernesto Cervini - Drums TURBOPROP Innovative and electrifying, Toronto jazz drummer Ernesto Cervini has energy to burn, whether radiating it from behind his kit or working on any number of musical and educational projects. With his sextet Turboprop Cervini flexes his arranging muscles, creating a vast landscape of musical textures, and moods on which these monster musicians can play. The band features many of Canada’s finest and most in-demand musicians; Tara Davidson on Alto Saxophone, Kelly Jefferson on Tenor Saxophone, William Carn on Trombone, Adrean Farrugia on Piano, Michael Herring on Bass and Cervini on Drums. The band's sound is reminiscent to the hard swinging Jazz Messenger bands of Art Blakey, although they tackle a wide range of music; from Charlie Parker to Claude Debussy to Radiohead, plus originals from all the band members. They have already toured across Canada multiple times to rave reviews, and released their JUNO-award winning third album, Abundance, on ANZIC Records (NYC) in the fall of 2018. MUDITA Comprised of guitarist Roddy Elllias and Petr Cancura on woodwinds, Mudiat explores crossing boundaries between jazz, improv and worldly folk melodies. These world class musicians have been on a musical journey of creating authentic, transcendent music, with an almost telepathic connection. Reminiscent of ECM recordings, Mudita seeks to create sonic warmth and memorable melodies in the hands of two master musicians. Roddy Ellias - His music has been described as “unapologetically beautiful” (All About Jazz) and his creativity “both startling and inspiring” (Just Jazz Guitar). A passionate improviser and prolific composer, Canadian guitarist Roddy Ellias is an artist whose work defies simple definition. His musical journey has taken him from his early roots in pop and R&B bands and classical music, to the improvised world of jazz, through African and other world beats all the way to writing an opera, and everything in between. Along the way he’s performed with some of the great names in music, from Cleo Laine, Michel Legrand, the Montreal Symphony, the NAC Orchestra, Lee Konitz and David Liebman to Joel Frahm and Dr. Lonny Johnston and many more. Petr Cancura - Petr Cancura’s aesthetic blends roots music and jazz to create an authentic, fresh and raw sound. Petr’s Down Home was nominated for the 2015 Best Instrumental Album JUNO, and awarded the Independent Music Award for Best Instrumental Album of the Year. Petr’s most recent album releases include a roots-inspired quartet record on vinyl featuring Kenny Wollesen and Tony Scherr, a cinema/avante-garde induced quartet record featuring Jesse Zubot, Gordon Grdina and Jean Martin and a trio recording featuring the great Charlie Hunter and Geoff Clapp recorded in North Carolina and an early rock and roll inspired trio recording with Charlie Hunter and George Sluppick. Petr has played with everyone from Aretha Franklin, to Danilo Perez and Julian Lage amongst many more.

The programme also features John Adams’ Road Movies, described as a “joyful romp,” and the reverie of Amy Beach’s “Romance, Op. 23.” Hadelich has performed with every major orchestra in the US, many on numerous occasions, as well as an ever-growing number of major orchestras in the UK, Europe, and Asia, “The essence of Hadelich’s playing is beauty: reveling in the myriad ways of making a phrase come alive on the violin, delivering the musical message with no technical impediments whatsoever, and thereby revealing something from a planet beyond ours” (The Washington Post). Hadelich’s appearances as a soloist include guest engagements with the most celebrated ensembles in the world, including the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Berlin Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, NHK Symphony Orchestra (Tokyo), Oslo Philharmonic, and Philadelphia Orchestra, among others. One of the most sought-after soloists and chamber music collaborators of his generation, Orion Weiss is widely regarded as a “brilliant pianist” (The New York Times) with “powerful technique and exceptional insight” (The Washington Post). With a warmth to his playing that outwardly reflects his engaging personality, Weiss has dazzled audiences with his passionate, lush sound and performed with dozens of orchestras in North America, including the Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and New York Philharmonic. ____ La série de concerts 2023-24 s’ouvre sur un récital spectaculaire du violoniste Augustin Hadelich, lauréat d’un Grammy, et du pianiste Orion Weiss, avec la lyrique Sonate n° 10 de Beethoven et l’envoûtante Sonate pour violon n° 1 de Prokofiev. Le programme comprend également Road Movies de John Adams, décrit comme un « joyeux délire », et la rêverie de la « Romance, Op. 23 » d’Amy Beach. Hadelich a joué avec tous les grands orchestres des États-Unis, souvent à de nombreuses reprises, ainsi qu’avec un nombre croissant de grands orchestres du Royaume-Uni, d’Europe et d’Asie. « L’essence du jeu de Hadelich est la beauté : se délecter des myriades de façons de faire vivre une phrase au violon, délivrer le message musical sans le moindre obstacle technique, et révéler ainsi quelque chose d’une planète au-delà de la nôtre » (The Washington Post). Martin in the Fields, l’Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin, l’Orchestre symphonique de Boston, l’Orchestre symphonique de Chicago, l’Orchestre philharmonique de New York, l’Orchestre du Mozarteum de Salzbourg, l’Orchestre symphonique NHK (Tokyo), l’Orchestre philharmonique d’Oslo et l’Orchestre de Philadelphie, entre autres. L’un des solistes et collaborateurs de musique de chambre les plus recherchés de sa génération, Orion Weiss est largement considéré comme un » pianiste brillant » (The New York Times) doté d’une » technique puissante et d’une perspicacité exceptionnelle » (The Washington Post). Avec une chaleur dans son jeu qui reflète sa personnalité attachante, Weiss a ébloui le public avec sa sonorité passionnée et luxuriante et s’est produit avec des dizaines d’orchestres en Amérique du Nord, dont l’Orchestre symphonique de Chicago, l’Orchestre symphonique de Boston, l’Orchestre philharmonique de Los Angeles et l’Orchestre philharmonique de New York.
