MissKai - Back to Basics (DDJ Heavyweight Jazz Battle Entry) [April 2006]

The Digital DJs (www.digital-djs.com) decided to have a battle of the best 60 minute jazz radio show or mix.  So here’s my entry…decided on some tracks that I think show a nice range in style, spanning over 50-60 years. Also chose some tracks from artists that are more so known for their work in other genres, just to show how jazz is such an integral part of music as a whole. I loved pulling the Beastie Boys “Sabrosa”, because so many don’t realize that they are actually talented & respected musicians.  Also, took the opportunity to pull tracks from Hugh Masekela & Mulatu Astatqe, both known for their African jazz work, which is a genre that I am looking to add to my collection more. And lastly, I end with one of my favorite jazz pieces from a good friend of mine, Monica Dillon out of New Orleans.

So take a listen & hopefully you’ll enjoy & begin to see what jazz is to me…

Deborah Jordan’s new album, “What You See”, is scheduled for release in the US on 13th December and worldwide on 17th January. In the meantime, she’s sharing an exclusive free track called “I Know You” which  is produced by Yam Who? and Simon S, and features Marc Rapson on keys. It couldn’t be included on the album because of the sample but the few who have heard it liked it so much that they wanted people to be able to have it regardless.

E1 Entertainment Press Release

April 21, 2010

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

DWELE SET TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM W.ANTS. W.ORLD. W.OMEN (W.W.W.) ON JUNE 29, 2010

NEW SINGLE “WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE” #1 MOST ADDED RECORD AT URBAN AC RADIO THIS WEEK

ALBUM FEATURES INCLUDE DAVID BANNER, RAHEEM DEVAUGHN, SLUM VILLAGE AND
MONICA BLAIR

“When Dwele sings, people listen…There is no denying that this Detroit crooner can captivate with just one note.”— Essence

(New York, NY)- Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dwele is prepping for the release of his long awaited 4th studio album, W.ants. W.orld. W.omen. (W.W.W.). The project will be released on RT Music Group/E1 Music on June 29th, 2010. This album is the follow up to Dwele’s last album, Sketches of a Man which included “I’m Cheatin’.”

The first single from W.ants. W.orld. W.omen. (W.W.W.) the soulful tune, “What’s Not to Love,” was the #1 most added record at Urban AC radio this week, surpassing songs from Keith Sweat and Smokey Robinson, among others. Some of the 30 stations that added the record are KJLH in Los Angeles, KMEZ in New Orleans, WBAV in the Carolinas, WGPR in Detroit, WSRB in Chicago, WSOL in Jacksonville, WMJM in Louisville, KMJM in St. Louis, and more.

To listen to “What’s Not To Love,” click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg6X2A_yLkc.

“W.W.W. is separated into three sections, representing different aspects of myself as an artist,” explains Dwele. The album is a collection of songs combining elements of both R&B and hip hop to express his personal and political views as filtered through the turbulent economy and political climate of today. Dwele continues, “With W.W.W., I wanted to do as Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway did. When you hear their music now, you feel exactly what the climate was at the time, and that’s the job of musicians, to talk about the world’s situation.”

Dwele was featured on the chorus of Kanye West’s smash hit, “Flashing Lights.” Recently, he also became the face and voice behind the launch of McDonald’s new product line, McCafe.

Dwele will hit the road later this year with dates to be announced soon.
