Episode 38: `JAZZ` Party

Dave Malone Podcast

Earlier this year I caught wind of a `Special Branch` (Royal Oak – Tooley St LDN) tribute blend, gig run by Nicky Holloway, which was 2 hours away from home town (Suffolk) and was the first & early times I experienced the likes of DJs Bob Jones. Chris Bangs, Gilles Peterson, Pete Tong, Trevor Fung & many others.
An 80s concoction of `Modern` Soul, Boogie/Funk, Heavy Percussive Latin Jazz & Dodgy Bossa`s!..
Very exciting times, quite rightly described by Kevin Flanagan (Tommy Chase - Saxophonist) as the re-birth of 50s/60s Cool `Hard Bop` Dance Jazz in central LDN during that period.
It was always used as the `PARTY` set back home and always went down well with `everyone` and I mean `everyone`, never failed!…this is my take on those `jazz party tunes`…
