jazz is the musical way to get to know your inside without hurting yourself.

jazz is celebrating life, the diversity, the absurdity and nonsense, the magnificence and the meaning, the sensuality and the depth of being human. it deals with it. jazz is the greatest individualism. you're standing on the stage, and you say: "that's the way i do things".

jazz is like sitting at the table together with your best friends, after the macaroni, with those funny eyes, imitating rhoda scott playing hammond, barefoot singing "newseee oul a foooobe'".

it's all that jazz. thats what i need.

brenda lee - i'm sorry
mca 1960


i can't get this song out of my head. you know the feeling: a music starts to hit your head from behind, first just a part of the song, (in this case those chromatic violins) then you can't get through the feeling, that you have to hear the song imediatly. well it happened to me today too. after this whole day having the sound of the violins in my head i can only say, this is one of the best love songs ever.

From the historic city of Guadalajara, capital of the Mexican State of Jalisco, comes our terrific Guadalajara Brass Band. From the ancient rhythms of the mariachi dances, with the blaring brass and the marimba percussion, reminiscent of hundreds of years of tradition, come the unchanged sounds to the top of today s popular music charts... click here for more


funny mexican brass music from the 60's. it's written that you should play the record on 33, but if you do it on 45, you'll hear the funniest dnb ever for 3 euros.

hiphopjazzfunkwhatever, that't the way i like it. scruff, aim, r+c in one double album, for 8 euros... i agree not all of the tracks are 100% but there's no problem with it. a very-very nice compilation, well done. recommended if you like downtempo.

nzanga sese kulu m'bira mobutu jr & iZborn are doing their thing live at tilos. get a huge amount of samples from a bruce lee film together with some depressed and chasing music, try to get in the mood of the kung-fu fighters and you'll find yourself right on the way of the dragon. DOWNLOAD HERE

ps. i must agree nzanga did the heavy part. i'm glad to be a playmate.

5 CD's for less then 10 Euros, that means quantity. Well, I'm not that reagge-freak, I can't take jamaican music more than a half hour, but I think everybody must have some records like these. Average reagge-jamaican-afro-latin-calypso music, so if you're in the mood, these cheap ones are useful. Otherwise... what's this crap music???

- fruit of freedom (75 min of the finest african and latin music feat busi mhlongo, orchestra baobab, bellamou messaoud, ousmane kouyate, oumou sangrae
- the heptones: pressure (pure pure overdose reagge from jamaica)
- dennis brown: bless me jah (take a look at the cover... isn't beautiful? and! incl hits like blackmagicwoman and everybodystalkingatme)
- ken boothe: a man and his hits (He's one of reagges most enduring hitmakers)
- raw kaiso2: trinidad rio and brigo (live in concert in port of spain, trinidad, incl. book translating the english lyrics to english)
