The Malombo Jazz Makers - Down Lucky's Way

Barely a week has gone by where I haven't spun this one at least twice since grabbing it this past spring. Recorded in 1969 but unreleased/unknown until now, Down Lucky's Way is a little hard to describe — minimal modal folk jazz? Maybe! Guitarist Lucky Ranku called it "healing music," and that might be the most right on. The gentle but propulsive groove, the free floating melodies, the comradely interplay ... it just makes you feel better. Highly highly highly recommended.

The AM: November 6, 2023

After a first hour of soothing ambiance and offbeat easy listening™, this week's episode segues into spacious jazz and sparse melodies courtesy of Mark Hollis and Modern Nature (among others), and wraps with jangly jams and fuzzy guitars from Lush offshoot Ozean, White Poppy, Bibi Club, Marine Girls, and more.

Plus odd science news in place of the usual BBC. Hope you enjoy it.

Spirit of Malombo: Malombo, Jabula, Jazz Afrika 1966-1984 by Malombo

V/A - Spirit of Malombo: Malombo, Jabula, Jazz Afrika 1966​-​1984

This! The first half is 60s recordings of the Malombo Jazz Makers, an awesome African drums + jazz guitar + flute ensemble led by percussionist Julian Bahula. It really is a melding of two worlds, but it works. The drums are mixed LOUD, which is awesome, it really foregrounds the rhythmic aspects of everyone’s playing. A killer, enexpected time capsule. Enjoy. -Kris

South African Jazz Mix | ”Soundtrack of a Revolution” by FloFilz & Gabriella Achadinha Feat. Mankunku Quartet, Thandi Ntuli, Gwigwi Mrwebi, Malombo Jazz Makers, Andile Yenana, Bheki Mseleku.. “South African jazz was born into the Apartheid system and with its' birth came the growing of a bitter confrontation. Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim, Chris McGregor, Jonas Gwanga, Kippie Moeketsi. Names that list on in creating a musical form glued by a shared struggle. A genre formed, moulded, re-invented to fight against an oppression; a musical method of a struggle visualized in blocks, cross-rhythms, chromatics, lydians and vamps - audible artworks designed to shout out the injustices. This mix is dedicated to all South African women taken from us by Gender Based Violence and Femicide.“ #SouthAfrica #Jazz #CapeJazz #AfricanJazz #JazzMix #ModalJazz #HardBop
