Night Watch
Sunday June 12th, 2016 with Dāv Fot
Black Mountain! Expandafuzz! Atlantis Jazz Ensemble!

This Nightwatch features much that is new, and hits a lot of rawk, even a bit of garage. We do, however find ouselves ensconsed in some prime local jazz for a finisher!
Starting out this edition of the Nightwatch with a selection from the new LP by Vancouver's neo-psych mainstays, Black Mountain!

After that, some new head-trip music by some veterans - we mop up the remnants after the Nightwatch's feature on the new Hawkwind LP, The Machine Stops last month.

Another new offering, this time something less 'head', and local (but with veteran players -ain't telling you who, because it may affect your expectations - it steps out of the wheelhouse for some of them..) called Expandafuzz, and an album called 'Bluets'.
Flavour: Zombie

Time to step away from the present to change perspective a bit... and start working our way to the jazz-side of things
Toronto's Tontos
Max Webster - Max Webster Canadian
Driving to Amsterdam
Khan - Space Shanty
Unspoken Dreams of Light
Eugene McDaniels - Outlaw
Surprisingly, I have never heard of Manfred Mann's Chapter Three - from Do Wah Diddy to Quinn the Eskimo and beyond, I didn't expect (or even look for) something challenging from his catalogue... but, strangely enough, there is a short-lived aggregation that presented some pretty heavy stuff. We will do a feature in a future Nightwatch!
Time

Now hitting the jazz-side in a more serious way.

And finally we finish up with another new release... a full-length.. and local! Sharing members with the much-beloved Souljazz Orchestra, this is a world-class jazz LP, IMHO.
