Because Jazzfest is on, I thought I would reverse the usual Nightwatch S.O.P. and start in the jazz vein and then head towards the heavier material, including finishing with a feature on two of the local bands at the upcoming Psychfest next Friday/Saturday at Targ!! Get'cher passes!
| As mentioned, I felt like starting in the jazz vein because of Jazzfest - finishing this set with a track from local jazz guitar hero, Roddy Ellias, who hosts a late-night jazz jam at Grill 41 in the Lord Elgin Hotel Saturday evenings. |
| Africa John Coltrane - Africa |
| On The Ginza Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - UGETSU |
| The Lopsided Robot Roddy Ellias - Monday's Dream 
|
| After some tried-and-true jazz (OK, the Roddy Ellias track was far from 'trad'), we move into fusion territory! |
| Sleeping Giant Herbie Hancock - Crossings |
| Apologies for truncating the Herbie somewhat - the minutes were disappearing faster than I expected. Time to go to Britain for some classic jazz-rock from Soft Machine and their classic lineup - Mike Ratledge: keyboards, composer; Hugh Hopper: bass, composer; Elton Dean: alto saxophone, saxello; Robert Wyatt: drums, vocals |
| Facelift Soft Machine - Live at The Proms 1970 |
| Sliding Dogs Isotope - Illusion - 1974 |
| Tendre Tourture Octobre - Survivance - 1975
|
| Finishing up with a classic Quebecois jazz-rock band, Octobre.... and starting the next set with another! |
| Echec et Mat Maneige - Montreal 6am
|
| Two Squares and Three Circles Fred Frith/Renee Lussier - Nous Autres
|
| Predestination Blues Grails - Doomsdayer's Holiday - 2008 |
| The Sense of Life Present - Certitudes - 1998 |
| Making inroads to The Heaviness, we now pour on the throttle! |
| Forever In Space (Enlightened) White Hills - So You Are... So You'll Be |
| State of Non-Return OM - Adavaitic Songs |
