   Cosmic Jam Spring High 03.04.16

   It's often the way these days that I hardly have the opportunity to take stock of what I'm doing especially the one weekend in a month when I have back to back radio shows. Consequently by the time I came round to editing this, I'd more or less completely forgotten what I'd played. I was…

   Cosmic Jam 20.03.16

   I wish I had the time to write!! With one of my 8 month old twin boys perched on my knee, and the other screaming in his chair it's a tad tricky. However my weekly music refuge on a Sunday night is a little sanctuary from all the joys and strains of parenthood. The Cosmic Jam is a twenty one mile...

   A Tribute To A Shining Star - In Memory Of Maurice White

   A man who shone so brightly, lifted so many hearts, who provided a million dollar backbeat to so many hits before he took his mission West and forged in the Serpentine Fire of spiritual potential the greatest, most transcendent music machine to have walked this planet. Maybe it's easier to think…

    One more time for Major Tom...

    I'm of that generation, I experienced the "Starman" moment seeing David Bowie on Top Of The Pops with a shock of orange spikes, dressed in clothes that defied description, putting his arm around Mick Ronson in a way that seems so innocuous today but was extraordinary then. At school the following...

    Cosmic Jam "dirty ol' jazz reckids" 20th September 2015

    O.K. so maybe I could have dug even deeper, but hopefully you'll appreciate that with the birth of my twin boys, crate diggin' time is limited, so recourse to few old favourites in this selection. Nevertheless it's not exactly obvious unless you're one of those chin stroking jazz snobs. I'd been...

    The really important issues of the day like the fate of Labour under Jeremy Corbyn and the mysteries of infant colic are things The Cosmic Jam has no licence to deal with. Whatever else is going on in the world or in my life melts away for two hours on a Sunday night, and that's the way it should...

    I've always tried to keep my personal and professional life separate, but these days it seems the lines are increasingly blurred. It's no secret that much to my amazement and delight I've become a father again which accounts for my recent sabbatical from the radio. So, whilst I was reconciled to...

    Weather report; Spring is nestling happily between cool and warm, the way it should be, maybe a bit too dry for the farmers, April showers few and far between, happy days for cycling DJs. Unsurprisingly I start with a tune that references London in the first line, thank you Eska! Your Joni-esque...

    This show ended up being broadcast twice as I had to reluctantly abandon last Sunday's show as something crucial and even closer to my heart needed my attention, so it went out again. I'd recorded this one at Forge Towers before I took a few days out on family business, so I thought It might…

    Pinch punch first of the month, tis the season of the mad March hare. Days getting brighter, staying lighter, then in a few weeks the clocks go back, and hey, we're living in a different world. All of which may seem like a strange rumination if you're living in Kuala Lumpa or even L.A., but life…

    Cosmic Jam (Medicinal Mushrooms!) 15.02.15

    It's probably just as well that when I received the audio file of this week's show the bit at the beginning about having a cup of medicinal mushrooms to drink (chaga), was missing. Of course this was a source of much hilarity to Ross Allen, and nuff jokes abounded in the studio about Cosmic...

    Confiture Cosmique

    Arriving with barely a minute to spare from The Bussey Building where I'd witnessed a stunning show from Brian Jackson & The New Midnight Band, this was a Cosmic Jam that once again came together in a hurry but I don't think suffers in the slightest as a result. Sometime the most spontaneous.......

    First Cosmic Jam of 2015

    Back in the groove for a new year, a mild enough Sunday night to make for an enjoyable ride South, and the unexpected pleasure of having X-Press 2 legends Rocky & Diesel live in the Mi-Soul studio standing for the wandering Ross Allen, (as hence he shall be known!). I was excited to be kicking…

    Cosmic Jam - (Almost) Full Moon Soul Session

    So it was a full moon on Saturday night, but to the naked eye that pale orb didn't look any less replete come Sunday, which prompted me into a fully vocal, soulfully stretched salvo of musical niceness for The Cosmic Jam. Though I never tire of jazz, sometimes it's good to have a few less...

    Ross Allen is something of a wanderer these days, which means that I get the call for extra duties on Mi-Soul on a Friday morning. If I wasn't such a "radio tart" this might be a bridge too far , but I not only love doing radio but I also love cycling to South London, though it must be said that...

    Cosmic Jam Tribute to Horace Silver

    Horace Silver, an earthy man who made spiritual music and a spiritual man who made earthy music. It's impossible to conceive of the Blue Note label without the contribution of Silver, he's pivotal, essential, inspirational; the lynchpin of the legacy, the godfather of the dynasty. From his...

    Cosmic Jam 10.2.13 Donald Byrd Tribute

    In the wake of the great jazz trumpeter's death I'd been a little dismayed that Donald Byrd was being celebrated by my Facebook friends mainly for the his 70's recordings with the Mizell Brothers. Of course these are all amazing tunes, and I love them as intensely as anyone. Way back in the 90s I...
