We continue to dip into the promos that have appeared since June, and of course the ancient having vacuumed out the dusty part of the archives... that part ignored by others..... and discovering some gems. WRT the latter, come up with some 60's adverts performed by 3 different bands of the period (and I'm saving The Who's contribution to this obscure musical genre for some weeks). Somethings from the 2024 and 2023 Mercury Prize winners, English Teacher and Ezra Collective. Still loving the new jazz arrnagements coming from Morgan Guerin; fusion from multi-instrumentalist Tenk Van Dool also by Mike Stern, Brit jazz by 137. Three tune entitled 'Albatross'. Annual plays of favorites by Grand Funk Railroad and New Zealand's Lamp Of The Universe. And then much more.

Next week a fiddle special too.

Hi All

It's quite some time since we had a ALT2 Show dedicated to the violin. Tonight 'Fiddle Special No.2' arrives. So rock, folk, avant, blues, blue grass, classical and jazz fiddles are represented. In some cases the violinist is guesting on another musician's album. I'll leave you to check out the playlist provided below.

Next week another special, concentrating on music made and released in 1970, IMO a important pivot point in the history of rock.

3 years ago I did a special concentrating on the popular music that was recorded and/or released in 1970, and that's where we go back  tonight, avoiding we what we played in 2021. 1970 was a year when many more bands appeared (to quote Kevin Gilbert: 'and made a record or two'), but few to last more than 24 months. But these bands contributed to a new heady mix - most were experimenting fusing different musical genres and in some cases employing new instruments not previous heard in rock music. Indeed things were literally progressing. So tonight a mix of established musicians/groups by 1970 and the newbies, who amazed and delighted those of us around at the time.

Back after a very brief spell in hospital and now feeling right as rain: thank you NHS..

Tonight celebrating the life of the late Nick Gravenites, who's voice and many compositions I've enjoyed for a long time. Something from the new album by last year's Mercury Prize winner The Ezra Collective. Something for Bruce and from prog history, a long piece of the 1969 album by Touch. Lots more newish releases of newish recordings. Something I'm noticing, record company companies searching archives for  unreleased live recording and issuing these some 40-50 years later, (Christmas is coming),  so tonight the great Mahavishnu Orchestra at Yale Uni - possibly others in the weeks to come. As ever a lovely mix of genres.

Hello Everybody

The mix of new with old is back again. A long anticipated 'Joni Mitchell Archives (Vol 4)' has arrived and I will be sampling in the weeks to come, so at last a chance to sample the rehearsal recordings of 'Mingus', with musicians not heard on the final album. Nu fusion from Americo-Aussie band Uncle Moe's Space Ranch. Something in Welsh! Other new material for Gren Bartley, Julie Square, etc..Continuing with the reminder that the Moog synth appeared 60 years ago. The second half hour of the show is ''what have these track got in common''... alas no prizes? And why a couple of weeks ago, did I forget the Who did a spoof albums with real ads: making up for it tonight. With the 50th Anniversary of King Crimson's influential 'Red' album, a singular but long  track from it to finish the show.

More London-based jazz from Nubya Garcia, then further afield with the distinctive dance jazz of Jazzrausche BigBand, Chicago at their jazziest and also Donny McCaslin. Fans of the late Alex Harvey of SAHB, might like to check out Glasgow's Tenementals. A couple of musicians I read have retired: Robert Wyatt and Bob Seger. The so much more. Join me tonight at 9pm GMT and find out.

Celebrating the music of the late Phil Leash. Thanks to Leonardo of MoonJune records for sending albums by the much praised British guitarist Mark Wingfield and also Beledo. Christmas is coming (?) with release of live recordings, some made half a century ago, including CSNY. Further raiding  of Todd Rundgren's back catalogue. Another three tracks with a common title, but with uncommon music and lyrics. Folk ancient and modern, e.g. Tom Paxton and Stick In The Wheel (now touring the UK). Further exploration of the lesser known brass rock bands. And much more from the new releases. And then there is the old and often obscure.

Hello Again!!

Thanks to Rune Grammofon's London office I now have a copy of Elephant9 & Terje Rypdal's live recording. Another experiment: playing extracts of Kevin Gilbert's rock opera 'Shaming of the True'... feedback please, 'Quadrophenia' might be next??  Really enjoying Joni Mitchell's 6 CD set 'Archives Volume 4', particularly for a handful of alternative takes with different musicians than found on her original studios albums of the 70's. Weird from Asa Horvitz, different sort of weird by the Everly Pregnant Brothers of Sheffield, Yorkshire. Obscure 60's pop by Rain. Early metally rock by Edgar Broughton Band and May Blitz. More from UK guitar whiz Mark Wingfield and gentle jazz from Snarky Puppy's Laurance & League. And as ever much more................... .

A vaguely Christmassy show tonight-- as ever in the hands of Panzerballett plus an appearance from Ben Fold. Remembering the late Quincy Jones. Two Flocks appear....  Lovely weirdness from Asa Horvitz, using AI ....  I don't understand how it works. Other jazz from Ezra Collective (who you may recall won an important music prize last year), Ann Butterss (yes two Ss). A 70's British rock band under the wing of Jeff Beck, Upp (yes two Ps). An almost inevitable obscure 60's psychedelia tune. More obscurity from the (James Welsh) Gypsy Band. But there's plenty of new: Christie Moore, Francisco, Matt McBane, Stick In The Wheel (sounding very east end of London) and Fretless. And there's something from Kimara Sajn (aka +1) retrospective.

I would like to wish you a merry Christmas and celebrate the New Year well. We will be back early In January 2025.

Happy new year everybody. The first ALT2 Show of 2025 arrives tonight. Remembering master tabla palyer, Zakir Hussain who died just before Christmas. I must comment that that several tracks tonight are by artists who have some remarkable session musicians backing them, e.g Michael duAlbequerque (Ollie Halsall, Alan Skidmore, the Shadow's Brian Bennett and many other notables), Zakir Hussain, Jack Bruce, Collin Walcott, Kevin Gilbert (backing group includes Sheryl Crowe and Toss Panos), 21st Century Schizoid Band (Krimson alumni). Good to hear Bryan MacLean's version of 'Alone Again Or', admittedly recorded 4-5 years after he left Love. Malcolm Galloway and Aphex Twin's s new solo albums of electronica. Challenging left  ield music from Church Chords, Antistatic, Dyan, Abacaxi. High speed Blue Oyster Cult. And more proggie stuff from Coheed & Cambria, Hawkwind, Oceansize.

Continuing where I left off last week, so more of Dyan, Church Chords, Michael Du Albuquerque (a reissue with a super line up of session musicians).  Bedroom rock of Texan Nolan Potter. Anybody see University Challenge last Monday: Imperial College were monster, achieving a huge score, but falling flat with the music question, confusing King Crimson with Led Zeppelin. So not forgetting those not with us: Nick Drake, Allan Holdsworth, Les Butler, Kevin Gilbert, Jeff Beck. That includes trombonist/reggae specialist Rico Rodrequez, who I've only been introduced to his music. Erik Satie's music gets another electronic make over....this was preceded circa 1970, by the album 'The Velvet Gentleman'. Ethopian jazz anybody? Then much much more.

First an apology for not posting the last two playlists, a certain broadband company (starts with V) have been extremely difficult to get at over here in the UK. After two weeks (yes)  it was fixed this morning, following on from yesterday when it was discovered that a fibre optic cable (mine) had been severed from its connector in a box down the road from my home, by careless contractors. GGGGRRRRRRR.

So what have we got for you tonight? The Rolling Stones in baroque pop form in care of Brian Jones (?). Which reminds me I've been picking individual musicians and bands whose names start with R, such as Rush to the obscure Routes. (Last week was largely devoted to those starting with B btw). However, we remember Marianne Faithfull who died recently. New music from  Eyed Jay, Loudon Wainwright III with anglophile tunes, modern glam rocker Gyasi, . Recent nu jazz from Robocobra and Dennis Rollins Velocity Trio (coming to the area in next 6 weeks). And as I said lots of Rs. 

As I write, the death of probably my favorite keyboardist of the 60's and 70's, Mike Ratledge MA has been reported. So next week plenty of Soft Machine from 1966 to late 70's to remind us Mike's playing.

The only time I saw Mike Ratledge with the Softs was at the first 'Pop Proms' at the Royal Albert Hall, the show that was recorded and ended up as the bonus album with the remastered 'Third' CD. Since hearing the band first played and then regularly aired by John Peel his BBC Radio 1 Show in 1968-9, here was the sound of a dynamic band exploring an English form of rock gradually fusing with  jazz, to produce that distinctive Canterbury jazz sound of the 70's. (Their first album I bought on vinyl as a US import: the one with an interesting revolve as part of the  sleeve). Mike Ratledge's drove that sound with his keyboards, initially that unique Lowrey sound. It was a pleasure to be involved with a tiny bit of the research and then proof reading galleys of the Soft Machine biography 'Out-Bloody-Rageous'. So it was a great shock to hear of his death a few weeks ago, and no way was I going not going to celebrate Mike Ratledge's music on the show. So 4 pieces where he is to the fore, ranging from a legit  bootleg recording (c/o Cuneiform Records) made at the Middle Earth Club in 1966 to a piece recorded nearly ten years later (c/o MoonJune Records).  In keeping with the avant garde Machine, there are other, more recent cutting edge sounds: Numuen, Sunna Marget, Eyed Jay, Reichenhal,l Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld, and the Legendary Pink Dots: thus the most far out show I've done in some time. Plus some straighter sounds.
