Jazzy D's Soul Notes

So now it after the witching hour some post midnight music-

Mary J Blige - Share My World



( More grooves here )

Got back around none in the evening. After unpacking i finished a report i did for a visit in Brighton in the morning. I did not leave Seaford till 3.30 pm anyway.

After a reviving brew of coffee, i sorted out the CD's i bought, and some of the DVD's and now listening to a fantastic collection of latin grooves, you know the kind of thing, mambos, rumbas, salsa, and other spicy grooves. Plenty here on this CD for DJ-ing with!

Some Sunday cool jazziness now with a twist of Brazil and salsa -

Irakere - Encuentro



Elegante Orchestra - Burning Spear



Gal Costa - Relance




Sonia Santos - Speed



And finally,
Ronald Mesquita - Balanca Pema



Enjoy.

Okay now some post Dr. Buzzard music from August Darnell -

Kid Creole And The Coconuts - I'm A Wonderful Thing Baby



Not forgetting sugar coated ANDY -

Coati Mundi - Me No Pop I



I love this salsa spiced funky latino groove.

Well that has been a long day. Did the footfall job in Canterbury and during break periods did a couple of mystery shop visits, a travel agents and a charity shop.

The weather has been the hottest so far, reaching 28  degrees centigrade at the maximum. A truly superb day for topping up the old tan. Apparently a lot cooler tomorrow. I found a spare cafe chair to sit down and count the people going past a certain shop site which averaged around 400 per fifteen minute slot. It is a busy city especially with all the foreign students and tourists.

These are the items bought from the charity shop visit.



Plus these two CD's

Various Artists - Viva Brazil!
Various Artists - Latin Street Party



A good haul indeed.

I do have photos of course, and i did remember to take the old Canon camera this time. Well i needed it for both the footfall job and the travel agent visit. These will follow in the next post.

Well,it turned out to be a good evening. Not so busy as last time as i ad finished early about 11.30 pm rather than midnight. So, basically, i played for five hours, of mostly Brazilian flavoured tunes and a bit of trance funk stuff.
