DJ Ian Head: Recent Episodes
DJ Ian Head
When I'm not at the dayjob, I'm probably at a record store. Pullin from the Stacks podcast every Wednesday, available here and iTunes and elsewhere. When I find the time, I chop up a couple samples and program some drums. I'm one-half of the crew Dollabin, and you can find our music at http://dollabin.com.
Latest episode as I begin packing up my crates for an upcoming move.
Tracklist: Roy Ayers, Abase, Spirit, Sammy Nestico, Chaffey College Jazz Ensemble
Sometimes I feel like Les McCann should get more play from the record nerds and the jazz heads. Here's a few joints I really dig from several of his records, from the trio jazz sets to the upbeat fusion breakbeats.
Listen for the tracklist, or drop a comment, and remember to subscribe on iTunes and elsewhere.
This episode I invited my record-digging partner in crime, DO77 aka Verbal Math of Dollabin, to spin some of his favorites. It's a great fusion-filled set filled with all kinds of treats! In DO77's own words: "I love jazz fusion so I know it can go off the rails real quick. Don’t worry, I just threw together some chill fusion grooves by some of the usual suspects, a couple of lesser known gems, and Frank Zappa who is a genre by himself. I also dropped in one of jazz’s most important current voices, Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah. Thanks to Ian Head for the invite! Hope you all enjoy."
