When the water is calm and the sun is setting, then I know we're just about to chill...

This show is inspired by the most recent All India Radio release, Space, which I joined in kickstarting. One of my long-time favorites, AIR has mastered the full range of ambient, from the most ethereal to an almost muscular, crunchy version. It was a delight to build a show around their current work.

Joining AIR are selections from Afternoons in Stereo, Hammock, Space Tourist, 36, Exist Strategy and many more; put them all together and they'll set you free.

This warm and inviting 75 minutes is anchored by several tracks that I learned about courtesy of Robin / Triskele Mgt. who has a gift for keeping me connected with the more psy-energy side of the musical wedge where we focus our awareness. Robin's brought my attention this time to 2018's Zero Gravity, as she had previously to 2016's Kira Kira by Irresistible Force, and you'll find tracks from each included here. They're joined by selections from Afternoons in Stereo, Cinematic Orchestra, Unitone, Rise Ashen, 36, and more.

In 1995, Ziggy Marley sang "Are we free like we want to be?" Nearly 25 yrs later, it seems we are still wondering the same thing ... And in your heart you know: if you feel you have to ask, the answer is probably in doubt.

To accompany your thoughts on the matter, spend some time in roots reggae contemplation, as we so often do around Independence Day. All our old friends are here -- Bob & Ziggy Marley, Thievery Corporation, Dubmatix, Sly & Robbie -- along with new voices Zap Pow, Vibronics, Jim the Boss & Richie Phoe.

15) Olafur Arnalds - This Place Is a Shelter 63:23


Wrapping up “Jazz month”, I’m posting the last in a series of jazz-oriented sessions that, in retrospect, seem to be ‘slow-cooker style.’ This series dropped under the title Eveningtime, and this is Vol. IV.

‘Eveningtime’ here refers to that bit of relaxed atmosphere you may find between the end of the work-day and the moment you head off to bed. You may be having dinner, or a cocktail, you may be hanging out in the kitchen or relaxing on the sofa, in the house or out on the porch ... there's no rule or routine; Hell, you could have the show on low in the background at work ... it's just whatever offers the opportunity for that chill-out moment you crave.

The predominant flavors in this rich and tasty jazz concoction come from the work of Matthew Halsall, which has been the jumping off point for each of the Eveningtime collections; included in Vol. IV are tracks from Nils Frahm, Liz Story, Bugge Wesseltoft, Olafur Arnalds, Jose James, and more.

June officially became Jazz Month this year when I rediscovered an old collection of 100+ tracks, made available by the E-Jazz Newsweekly Sampler during the first half of 2010 – just right for a "picture in time" jazz session. Other than the Jaco Pastorius performance, recorded in 1986, the tunes collected here are all releases from 2009. (A creature of its time, the weekly Sampler is no longer being distributed, although its organizer Bill King does have a Soundcloud presence.)

This special session runs close to 2.5 hours, and although the title Free Jazz could refer to the promotional nature of these tracks, it also describes one of the many styles of music offered here, which run from free thru’ standards to newer ballads featuring primarily piano, guitar and sax talent -- something for every taste, from high-energy creative playing to reworkings of Joni Mitchell, from blazing artistry to a tender love song.

Thanks to a recommendation from DJ Wildr (one of the original mmRadio stalwarts and a music aficionado of cosmic proportions) I received some promos from the Cosmetiq folks, and assembled this set using one track from each of the three artists they sent my way -- Wilhaeven, Ando Sanderez and Waveline Extras.

In addition to music from the Cosmetiq crew, this hour's worth of sleek and silky downtempo includes tracks from Kaya Project, Urban Phunk Society, Cliff Martinez, Rauschfaktor, Gary B, a wistful song from Beady Belle that’s become one of my favorites, and more.
