Save The Spitz

It is with great disapointment that I learned that The Spitz venue in London is under threat of closure. The Spitz now in its twelve year is London’s leading independent non-mainstream music venue and a gallery that specializes in socially aware photo journalism.

Please show your support for The Spitz by signing the 'Save the Spitz' petition.

Deep Funk @ Madame Jojo's

Went to Deep Funk @ Madame Jojo's in Soho last Friday and it was an ace night.

Deep Funk is run by Keb Darge and Northern Soul Scene veteran Guy Hennigan between them have over 60 years of DJ/record collecting experience.

Each week Deep Funk have unannounced guest DJ's which have included DJ Shadow, Kenny Dope, Pete Rock, Madlib, Cash Money, DJ Spinna, and many more. This week it was the turn of singer/lyricist and composer (Nia Saw). Nia's selection of tunes were excellent and backed up by Mr Darge's impeccable taste we were set for a fantastic night!!

I'll definetly be going back to this amazing club night.

Skye @ The Jazz Cafe.

2006-10-04T21:08:00.000Z

Skye @ The Jazz Cafe, London
Wednesday 20th September 2006

Many people will know Skye as the former lead singer of Morcheeba. Since leaving the band Skye has embarked on a solo project. The new album, entitled Mind How You Go is just amazing. Skye's voice is as beautiful and distinctive as it ever was.

Live Skye is an amazing performer, her singing appears effortless and she is at ease with the crowd. The live show features the new songs interspersed with some classic Morcheeba tracks. Which gives those who are unfamiliar with the new songs something to sing along to.

Although I was sad when Skye left Morcheeba it has obviously been a great move for her.

Update May 2006

Hello People,

I've just returned from holiday in New Zealand, Australia & Dubai.
Picked up loads of great new music on my travels - The record shops in Melbourne are particularly good.

While in Melbourne we went to see Sharon Jones and the Dapkings @ The Prince in St Kilda. This was an amazing gig with local jazz/funk band The Bamboos in support.

The Bamboos have been receiving DJ support from the likes of Mr Scruff, Kenny Dope (Masters At Work), Gilles Peterson and Keb Darge and for you UK based people they are playing London's Jazz Cafe on 18th June. I strongly recomend going along to this gig if you can make it!!

Keep checking back here for DJ dates over the summer or email me at nigelgentry@gmail.com.

Take care
Nigel.

Kings of Jazz

2006-04-05T15:12:00.000Z

Kings of Jazz

The new album in the 'Kings of ...' series (Rapster Records) is 'Kings of Jazz' compiled by the legendry Gilles Peterson & Jazzanova. CD1 compiled by Mr Peterson is a crate digging affair discovering 'some underappreciated gems'. CD 2 takes us on an electro-jazz tip from those Jazzanova types.

This is a great album branching the divide between the old and the new in jazz music.

DJ Dates | March 2006

2006-03-09T14:37:00.000Z

DJ Dates March 2006

I am playing at the restaurant Hakkasan on the following dates:

Sunday 5th March 2006
Sunday 12th March 2006
Sunday 19th March 2006
Sunday 26th March 2006

Hakkasan is an upmarket restaurant situated in Central London.

http://www.urbanpath.com/london/chinese/hakkasan.htm
Established by Wagamama and Yauatcha founder Alan Yau, Hakkasan is a restaurant with the atmosphere of a stylish nightclub. Its secreted entrance down an unimposing side-street, moody lighting, glamorous décor (black lacquered cut-away screens give diners just enough view of what’s going on in other sections of the large eating area) and popular Ling Ling cocktail bar all contribute to this ambiance. Food is Oriental-inspired and worthy of the Michelin Star, with dainty dim sum a speciality.

Guardian Review of Hakkasan
Is Hakkasan the sexiest restaurant in London, or what? Even finding it provides a frisson of excitement more
