The Cosmic Lounge presents Acid Jazz music: ‘Manifest Destiny’ by Jamiroquai.

“After Jason “Jay” Kay (born Jason Cheetham) auditioned unsuccessfully to be the singer of the The Brand New Heavies, he decided to put together his own band. Jamiroquai’s first single, When You Gonna Learn?, was released in 1992 on the Acid Jazz label. Following its success, Kay signed a £1,000,000 eight-album record deal with Sony BMG Music Entertainment. The band enjoys worldwide popularity and is the best-known member of the early-1990s London-based acid jazz movement, alongside groups such as Incognito, The Brand New Heavies, Galliano and Corduroy. Jamiroquai has since, however, moved in other musical directions. The band´s lead, Jay Kay, is a hat and car lover. During shows he always wears a hat, and he has lots of very expensive sports cars, like Ferrari. The name “Jamiroquai” is derived from the Native American Iroquois tribe, with which Kay has said he identifies philosophically, combined with ‘Jam’, as in musical jamming. Sam Smith (Backing Vocals) recently left the band and moved to Paris to get involved in some other projects.”

The Cosmic Lounge presents Nu-Jazz Music: Les Gammas’ remix of ‘Snowblind’ by Minus 8.

“Minus 8 masters the whole spectrum of Downbeat, Drum & Bass and Nu-Jazz. There are only a few internationally known DJs, producers and remixers from Switzerland. Robert Jan Meyer, aka Minus 8, is one of them. As a leading man in this group, his name is mentioned together with the names of Alex Attias (aka Beatless / Mustang / Catalyst / Bel Air Project) and the Straight Ahead label posse.

Robert Jan Meyer is an Architect and the brother of a well-known Swiss rave promoter. He started to make music at the end of the 80’s, first as a bass-player in a Funk-band, but soon his fascination with Midi-equipment led to experiments with a keyboard and sampler. At the beginning of the 90’s, Robert launched his Minus 8 project as a slow and peaceful answer to all the Plus 8 (on a turntable) speed madness that was prevalent in club music at the time.

By 1993 he also started DJing, playing mostly Acid-Jazz, Rare Groove, Funk, and Hip-Hop. Since then, Robert has consistently supported Swiss club culture with all his talents. He’s also toured as support for big UK names like Goldie, Grooverider, Hype, Krust, Storm, Bad Company and Adam F. And now he’s in-demand as a remixer. As all that wasn’t enough, he’s also found time to put together a great series of compilations - “Science Fiction Jazz”

The first ever Minus 8 release, “The Sweetest Sounds,” was the actually the first release on DJ Cam’s Paris-based label Inflammable. In 1997, Minus 8’s first album “Beyond,” followed (also on Inflammable), and received excellent reviews. “Beyond” was followed by a second album, “Beyond Beyond” for UK label Higher Ground (part of Sony UK). The English Trip-Hop and Drum & Bass scenes influenced both of these albums.”

The Bratislava Hot Serenaders orchestra belongs among the few strictly-oriented music bands in Slovakia. Its eighteen enthusiastic players have met for thirteen seasons without an interruption and its style remains unchanged. What glue keeps them together during our present turbulent economic period?
The glue is their love of traditional music. They devote all their free time to “Hot Jazz” or “Sweet and Dance Music” which arrived in Europe at the end of the Twenties from America. In its homeland, the music has already been recorded, so the orchestra´s boys search for old shellac gramophone records, listen to them till early morning and note-by-note reconstruct the old sweet melodies and imitate their arrangements. After hours of practicing, they dress themselves into traditional costumes, put the brilliantine on their hair and start playing their vintage instruments and singing into a lone microphone.
Since 1992 they continue entertaining their unbelievably loyal and constantly growing audience. Their mutual friendship and love of entertainment results in a sort of obsession. They often visit each other and play for themselves at informal occasions. Even then they function at full throttle, playing with the drive and spirit so important to this style of music.
The Serenaders have yet another love. It is also music - Slovak music. It was played and recorded in Bratislava and Prague in Thirties and Forties and is focused around one name extremely popular in thatperiod: František Krištof Veselý. The doyen of Slovak pop-singers made famous many melodies which are now adopted by BHS.
The Bratislava Hot Serenaders are well-established abroad as well. In 1994 the orchestra won the Sidney d´Or Prix at the Grand Festival of Music of 20´s and 30´s in Saint Raphael, France. They regularly appear in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic and other countries. They have recorded four CDs: “Prvé Rendez-Vous (The First Rendez-Vous)” (1997), “Cotton Club Stomp” (2003), “Ja som optimista (I´m An Optimist)” (2001) and “Celý svet sa mračí (The Entire World Is Cloudy)” (2002). Songs on the last two CDs are performed by Milan Lasica, one of the most popular Slovak actors and singers. Both CDs became bestsellers - the first one winning a platinum CD, the second winning a gold CD. Recently, selected songs from both CDs have been recorded for the first Slovak music DVD entitled “Milan Lasica & The Bratislava Hot Serenaders”. Their successful cooperation also led to a new musical-styled performance in the Štúdio L&S theatre. In the show “Ja som optimista”, the songs and melodies are accompanied by stories and anecdotes from old Bratislava

The Cosmic Lounge presents Nu-Jazz Music: ‘De Muse’ by Fragmentorchestra.

“Fragmentorchestra is the pairing of Italian jazz aficionados Luca Pernici & Giulio Vetrone. The result is a beautiful and up-tempo album of moods and grooves for some autumnal bliss. For Luca and Giulio, Jazz also means improvisation, which Luca Pernici explains. “A musician, in the moment at which improvisation occurs, is irrationally set free from any approach, creating a philosophy of composition without any given time or place”. The goal is just this, to preserve an improvised approach through breaking down beats and notes but still achieving the variety of an orchestra or better yet, a Fragment Orchestra…

Luca Pernici was born in Reggio Emilia in 1969. At the tender age of eight he was already carrying out preparatory studies at the local musical school “Achille Peri” and when he turned eleven, he started to take piano and solfeggio lessons whilst his passion for music and for technology pushed him to find spaces in recording studios. Later with more than ten years experience in the studio as a producer, arranger and composer his passion transformed into the desire to open his own studio in 2000: the ‘NuSound musiclab’. This became the catalyst for concentrating on and interacting with other artists and his own productions with a view to broadening his views for new horizons. It was under these conditions that he met Giulio Vetrone and the pair set up the MaffiaSoundSystem which led the pair ultimately to the beats and jazz permutations of Fragmentorchestra.

The extensive productions coming out of NuSound musiclab have inspired Luca Pernici to perform his creations to the public and for those curious of what will come next all we can say is that in the same manner that Brazilian music has influenced many artists, Senegal has captured Pernici’s mind and soul. But for the meantime set yourself free amongst the cool reflections of the Fragmentorchestra.”

Ray Charles was one of the true pioneers of soul music. Born in Georgia in 1930 he was one of the first performers to mix gospel, R & B and jazz to create a new form of black pop music that would come to be known as soul. His voice and delivery were strikingly different and instantly recognisable. He had his first hits in the early 50’s and was still hitting the charts into the 21st century. His death in June 2004 from liver disease was front page news around the world.
This concert was filmed at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 19, 1997 and features Ray Charles and his orchestra, led by sax player Al Jackson, and of course The Raelettes.
The full performance is available on the Eagle Vision DVD “Live at Montreux 1997″, out now.
