Man, we got some great responses to the MINGUS post, not sure whether it was because of its relation to CUMBIA but I think it was the first time we have ever included Jazz on this blog!
So, I thought, why not give you a little bit more….Jazz, that is 🙂
“TRUEFORCE”……This is one of my first ever mixtapes!!!!!
I did this back in 2002, before I had ever done a live DJ gig (my DJ debut being in Nov 2003). It is called “TRUEFORCE”…it is jazzy, dark, grimy, strange, weird and downright dirty but also romantic…..
It’s inspired by a host of movies but underpinned by a jazz musical score…
It has a cast of the following:
Robert De Niro
John Coltrane
Cinematic Orchestra
Tom Waits
Harvey Keitel
Dennis Hopper
Chet Baker
Nina Simone
Marc Ribot
Gotan Project
Diana Krall
Cannonball Adderly
Miles Davis
Gato Barbieri
Martin Scorsese
Bernard Herrman
Cachito Lopez
David Lynch
Angelo Badalamenti
