After presenting a good feature on 'new' (he's been plying musical waters for a while) artist 'Transmission 13', and playing a few tracks from the 'Adavaitic Songs' LP by 'OM' (it made a few 'top-10' lists for 2012, so I had to try it out...), we move on to playing some 'Jazz for Jacques', my own quiet memoriam for a beloved long-time station volunteer, Jacques Emond. Rest in Peace, mon ami.
| Starting out with Some live streaming of a great ambient/prog from Manchester England - Transmission 13! Note: '1976' features Canadian artists (and friends of the Nightwatch) Phil Ogison and Antonio de Braga! |
| Lake Transmission 13 - Kaleidoscopio/http://www.reverbnation.com/transmission13/ |
| Pictures of Lakes and Buildings Transmission 13 - Kaleidoscopio/http://www.reverbnation.com/transmission13/ |
| Wider Than Pictures Transmission 13 - Kaleidoscopio/http://www.reverbnation.com/transmission13/ |

| Apollo 13 Transmission 13 - Kaleidoscopio/http://www.reverbnation.com/transmission13/ |
| After the start, we roll into some Residents, and then begin to make our way to the OM Feature, and it's Eastern influence |
| For Elsie The Residents - Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Huddled Masses |
| Iceland Spar Land of Kush - Against The Day 
|
| Light at the Speed Of Sound High Watt Electrocutions - Desert Opuses
|
| Finally at the Eastern-feeling hard rock touchstone, so we can get into the new LP by OM (ex-Sleep and Grails members here) 'Adavaitic Sounds. |
| Addin OM - Adavaitic Songs |
| Gethsemane OM - Adavaitic Songs |
| Wish I could play more from the OM LP - excellent stuff - and I will on future Nightwatches... but for now, we have to move towards Jazzmode. |
| Long Dark Century Fern Knight - Castings |
| The Magus Third Ear Band - The Magus |
| Riteiro Rasa - Rasa |
| Aurora Oregon - Distant Hills |
| The Influence Ben - Ben |
| After a very long set, we make it to the Jazz. This set of music is in memoriam: longtime volunteer, and close acquantance of mine has sadly passed away - Jacques Emond from Swing is In The Air. He is many-storied, certainly, but holds a special place in my heart for the warmth and enthusiasm with which he welcomed me to the station 25 years ago. We will all miss him, and my sincerest condolances to his family. In his leaving us, we will all strive to affect the world around us as positively as he did, with the same warmth and enthuiasm. Rest in Peace. |
| Big Mac Buddy Rich Big Band - The Roar Of '74 |
| The Weaver Cannonball Adderly Sextet - Planet Earth |
| Ptah, the Daoud Alice Coltrane - Ptah, the Daoud |
| Misterioso Sonny Rollins - Vol. 2 |
| Gone Gil Evans Orchestra - Synthetic Gil Evans |
| And we finish the Nightwatch where we started, with a long, ambient piece from Tansmission 13. |
