Black Belt Eagle Scout

On the show this time, it’s the contemporary jazz and black classical music of Yussef Dayes.

Drummer and composer Yussef Dayes makes music that embraces tradition, but then puts on a brand new shirt and walks out into the city, ready for anything.  He’s a band leader - having put together a group of monster players to bring this music into existence. The Lewisham native has been in the midst of the current London community ever since he and his brothers were in a band together.  “United Vibrations” was jamming at the house on weekends, busking in the streets, and later putting on shows - including the infamous nights called “12 Tone.”  His debut solo album “Black Classical Music” is available through Brownswood Recordings and Nonesuch Records.

Recorded 11/27/23.

The Yussef Dayes Experience [Performance and Interview Only]

The Yussef Dayes Experience

On the show this time, it’s the immaculately tailored imagery of Heartworms.

Heartworms is the band project of London singer-songwriter Jojo Orme. She named it after one of her favorite bands - the Shins - 2017 album of the same name. The sound is threatening, dark, gothic even. Her lyrics walk a tightrope, beautifully balanced betwixt concrete imagery and abstract entendre. And she’s got a voice worthy of the poetry, dynamically moving from breathy whisper, to truly alarming shout. Her EP 'A Comforting Notion' is available on Speedy Wunderground Records.

Recorded 03/18/2024.
