Fri.: SOUND QUALITY - For 25 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists. Tim writes, "T'was the night before christmas and all through the house, not a dj was stirring..... except j boogie. And this excellent dj set is offered for listening pleasure and as an aid to gift wrapping. There is a fantastic list of artists and tracks in this "live" made mix.... no multi-tracking or second chances in this set. It's a killer combination of dub, soul, hip hop, midtempo, funk, house and afro beats." [T;%]


1305 -
THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and more in a show artfully arranged for radio. [abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: Australia’s Keith Hounslow played the trumpet & cornet superbly for more than fifty years. He’s a prodigiously “open” musician, at ease in contexts from deepest “trad” to absolutely “free”. In the 1970s McJAD – his occasional duo with pianist Tony Gould - played entirely-improvised music which was quite “free”, yet often gorgeously lyrical. Having recently decided to retire from concert stage & recording studio, Keith chose to mark his decision with a decidedly different “last hurrah” from McJAD. The studio for “McJAD goes Organic” was the Chapel of Melbourne University’s Ormond College, with Tony enjoying an unfamiliar role as pipe organist. “The McJAD Chronicles” is a suite of free improvisations, & the two friends also play three standards. A bonus, second CD makes available again the contents of the duo’s two LPs from 1978 & 1980.
Tue.: Fado is the national music of Portugal which dates back to the early 19th century, making it one of the oldest surviving forms of the many musical styles that resulted from the mixing of European and African cultures. Fado was almost killed by the dictatorship that ruled Portugal until the mid-'70s, using the music as a propaganda weapon. It’s a testament to the music’s emotional power that the younger generation has now embraced it again. “The Rough Guide To Fado” features 20 fine Fado musicians, from up and coming 20 somethings to the music’s queen, the late Amalia Rodrigues.
Wed./Thu.: As Christmas draws nigh, we review the very best music to reach us in 2004. Today's is the first of three successive editions.
Fri.: Merry Christmas! Today's is the third of three successive editions in which we review the very best music to reach us in 2004.
