In conjunction with radio42.com and rautemusik.fm jazz-not-jazz presents two hours of simply great music every Friday 19:00-21:00 UTC+1 (you don’t have to convert it for Germany…that’s Friday 13:00-15:00 in NYC, Friday 10:00-12:00 in San Francisco and Saturday 04:00-06:00 in Sydney). The links of the audio stream can be found on radio42.com or rautemusik.fm (look for #Musik.Lounge there).

This Friday you can listen to some old, now more or less obscure songs and new tracks from albums recently reviewed on jazz-not-jazz or soon to be reviewed like the Soul Movement and H₂O Productions.
Just a few words to some songs I haven’t reviewed on this site…Jhelisa offers a very dramatic acoustic version of Death Of A Soul Diva with Carleen Anderson on background vocals…Jhelisa’s new album will hopefully be released this September.
Mr. Alexander had a nice album out in 2000 which sounded a bit like Maxwell with a rough edge.
The Winter In America album by Gil Scott-Heron/Brian Jackson was actually a fulfilled wish from my wishlist (thanks Yiannis!)…and I wonder why I haven’t it bought it myself before.
Nu Soul Habits show us that the term nu soul is actually, er, quite old and in fact just another marketing invention. Unfortunately I haven’t heard anything from Nu Soul Habits (which were the duo of Tonye Hilmon and Eddie Towns Jr) besides their Motown album from 1994.
Kwesi is another artists who seems to have appereared on the scene for only one album. And he was one of the first British artists to be sold as nu/neo soul artist.
While Try My Love by the late Lalomie Washburn sounds a little bit dated today she still delivers a fine vocal performance on a song she wrote with Michael McEvoy.
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you who Jon Lucien is…otherwise have a closer look here.
On the endless lists of where are they now? Davina shouldn’t be missing. Unfortunately I never heard of her again except for a song she had done with Val Watson for her debut Urbal.
The Basement Boys give Ultra Nate’s How Long a great soul-funk feeling with their Philly Cream Mix and of the ten versions available on the 5″ CD-single it’s the one that still sounds the best.
