Getting ever closer to reaching it's first official year on the Auckland weekend radar, the 'Jam' (ad)venture continues, stepping up once again with a 2for2 tune rotation that continues to bring the heat on Ponsonby Road!

Brought to you every month by BaseFM DJ's CoopaBlu and AveragewhiteDJ - with this month's guests Selecta Sam, WotEva? and Kirk James!

Head down and join us at Barrio for the same mixed bag of everything Saturday night to keep your weekend sweet. Expect nothing but great tunes and good times, musical styles a-plenty - could go anywhere (and it usually does).

So if you are sick of going out on a weekend and listening to the same genre-specific blah, leave your pretentions at one of the other bars in town and head over to Barrio for a boogie. Free entry and drink specials. Bring your dancing shoes, a smile and some mates!

**Keep your eyes and ears peeled for details of the July '1st Birthday Jam' - good things in the pipeline... stay tuned Jammers!**

The Greg Foat Group - Dark Is The Sun CD (JAZZMAN)

Written By 1 - June 11 2011

Available Here

To catch the attention of our discerning, critical and cynical ears, any demos that people send to us here at Jazzman have to be pretty damn good. Yes they all get listened to, but very few make it this far as an official Jazzman CD and vinyl release. In fact the last time we released some recently-recorded music was a couple of years ago with the Natural Yogurt Band, which we were happy to see become an instant success.

You see, we’re quite fussy because in this day and age we can’t afford to lose money by putting out a so-so record. We also have to like it a LOT, not just because we’ll have to listen to it over and over again, but because we want you to too! So here is our next attempt at world domination, the debut album by The Greg Foat Group.

DARK IS THE SUN Recorded in Sweden, ‘Dark is the Sun’ is a concept album based on themes and variations by British pianist/composer/arranger Greg Foat, who has created an intriguing blend of non-contemporary jazz sounds with classic scoring techniques. An exotic array of unorthodox instrumentation was utilized, including harpsichord, tubular bells and a 15 piece choir. With musical reference and influence from such luminaries as Bruno Nicolai, Michel Legrand and Serge Gainsbourg as well as a firm nod towards UK jazzmen Michael Garrick, Keith Mansfield and Alan Hawkshaw, the result is highly-listenable, enduring and fulfilling for those who like real music played with real instruments.

Tracks & Soundclips:

01 Time Piece 1 (Harpsichord Bugalu) clip
02 Dark Is The Sun (Main Theme) clip
03 Interlude clip
04 Hello Old Friend clip
05 Dark Is The Sun (Reprise) clip
06 Dark Is The Sun (Harpsichord Waltz) clip
07 Yeah You Are clip
08 Uncle Bessie clip
09 Bright Is The Sun clip
10 Time Piece 2 (Epilogue) clip
