The Meelboot
A week ago I was invited as a guest at the regional radio station Omroep Zeeland, southwest part of The Netherlands, to promote my Keep swinging web log. The program, in which my item was sceduled is labeled De Meelboot ( = The Mail boat ). The program is. in fact, a hodge podge of subjects, like about a new treatment for breast cancer up about some kids from a small remote village in the Zak van Zuid Beveland who wrote a book about Geheimen ( secrets ), due to the annual Kinderboekenweek (= Week of the Children's Book ). My subject, my 600th Keep swinging web log was sceduled between these diverge subjects. I had brought myself an openings tune, the Honolulu Stomp from the Sweet Hollywaiians , a young Japanese string band.
One of the items of the program is the Top Drie ( = Top Three), and I was asked to bring my three best tunes !! Oh no, what to do? What three tunes should I bring to the studio? Something from Roy Hargrove, Oscar Aleman, Thelonious Monk; some great hard bop music from Art Blakey or Lee Morgan? Or Hank Mobley or Sonny Stitt - no it should be something old, like The Goofus Five, or something recreated from old recordings, like the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra does or something funny like the Animal Crackers.Or some swing, from Svend Asmussen or the smooth trumpet of Bert Joris?
I made my choice - I took three tunes, made by young people, who play their music in the rich tradition of jazzmusic, as played in the past, with their own contribution. This is my Top Three:
1. Noites Cariocas by the Choro Brasil Scandinavia
Choro Brasil Scandinavia: Marcilio Lopes bandolim - Jayme Vignoli cavaquinho - Mats Andersson violao - Martin Heap violoao de 7 cordas ( seven string guitar) - Oscar Bolao Pandeiro e batereia. My first introduction with Choro music . Recorded in 2005.
2. Swing All Your Honey For Me - Heather Simmons
Heather Simmons vocal - Nick Dawson piano - Roger Curphey bass - Mart Cecil drums - Mike Piggott violin. Recorded ca. 2006. A charming young English lady that sings and swings in the old fashioned way
Bentje Braam: Frank Gratkowski altosax - Iain Ballamy tenor saxophone - Michiel Braam piano - Wilbert de Joode bass - Martin France drums Recorded Hilversum December 1997. A young ( 43 years old) Dutch composer and piano player that plays and creates his music in the rich Monk tradition.

Een week geleden was ik uitgenodigd om iets te komen vertellen voor de regionale radiozender Omroep Zeeland over mijn Keep swinging weblog. Het programma, waarin dit gepland stond, heet De Meelboot en wordt gepresenteerd door Elsa en Bert. Het programma is eigenlijk een mengelmoesje van allerlei uiteenlopende onderwerpen; over een nieuwe behandelwijze voor borstkankerpatienten tot een kinderboek over Geheimen geschreven door twee jongens uit een klein dorpje in de Zak van Zuid Beveland in het kader van de Kinderboekenweek. Mijn onderwerp, mijn 600ste dagelijkse weblog zat daar midden in. Ik had een openingsnummer mee mogen brengen en dat waren de Sweet Hollywaiians geworden, en groep enthousiaste jonge Japanners, met het nummer Honolulu Stomp.
