    2025/04/14
    Welcome to Episode #143 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with singer, songwriter and producer, Zola Marcelle. Following a string of standalone single and EP releases dating back to 2018, the multi-faceted Zola Marcelle releases her debut full-length album entitled 'Home' unveiled through the hallowed walls of London's Jazz Re:freshed. Adding her name to the revered Jazz Re:freshed lineage which includes Kaidi Tatham, Nubya Garcia and Richard Spaven, Zola's exceptional credentials to date have seen past collaborations alongside Daniel Casimir and Ashley Henry as well as having secured coveted touring duties alongside Myele Manzanza. 'Home' serves as an inspired depiction of Zola's creative peak to date - a fascinating and compelling portrayal of an artist examining the concept of "home" as an individual as well as an ideology within a greater tapestry of culture and heritage. We're so appreciative of Zola's time for this conversation which sees us delve into her career to date, the ideas and inspirations that brought 'Home' to fruition, the album's incredible supporting cast including Lewis Moody and Rudi Creswick, Jazz Re:freshed and London's thriving jazz landscape.

    Nu-Skool Soul remembers Angie Stone
    2025/03/23
    Nu-Skool Soul airs Tuesdays at 6pm(UK) with Imran Mirza continuing his adventures within the expansive realms of R&B, neo-, nu- & alt-soul. If we can play something you love then that's great, but if we can play a song or two you may not have heard before, then that's even better! Music on today's show celebrates the music of the dearly departed #AngieStone. With the incredibly sad news of Stone's passing on the 1st March, we're honouring her music and memory the only way we know how. Charting a fantastic career beginning in the 1970s as a part of the Sequence, Stone saw further success as a part of Vertical Hold before becoming a solo artist in her own right with the release of 'Black Diamond' in 1999. A slew of solo albums would follow cementing Angie Stone as a leading name amidst the early years of neo-soul. Tonight's show showcases an enthralling selection of tracks from Stone's solo catalogue including remixes, b-sides and collaborations featuring names like #TheNeptunes #Guru #MacyGray #DAngelo #AliciaKeys #Eve #Calvin #Jaheim #PeerDu #Azire #ReelPeople #RaphaelSaadiq + more... http://www.blueingreenradio.com http://www.blueingreenradio.com/p/listenlive.html TuneIn: https://bit.ly/2LBK0BD

    2025/02/07
    Welcome to Episode #142 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with producer, Ben Blackadder. Boasting a consistent batch of exceptional single releases over the last two years, the Nottingham-based artist was initially introduced to audiences via his lush single for David Hanke's Bathurst label, 'Near'. A brief hiatus brought him back with a vengeance with a slew of single releases including 'On My Mind', 'Fragile', 'Ebb' and 'Dust', each proving to be an outstanding showcase of multi-faceted, dance-floor friendly sublime electronica. Blackadder's latest single 'Nightfall' finds itself as an excellent extension of Blackadder's warm and intimate textures, bolstered by exquisite use of vocal samples that delivers another gem amidst the Blackadder catalogue. We're so appreciative of Ben's time for this conversation which sees us delve into his production techniques, establishing himself as an independent musician, embarrassing encounters with musical icons and how the quarantine period in 2020 set him on his musical pathway. To explore the Blackadder releases so far, please feel free to visit the Bandcamp page: https://blackaddermusic.bandcamp.com/music www.blueingreenradio.com www.blueingreenradio.com/p/listenlive.html TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD The Blue-in-Green:PODCAST runs in conjunction with the online radio station, Blue-in-Green:RADIO which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music.

    Welcome to Episode #141 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with Lophae founder, Greg Sanders. The release of 'Perfect Strangers' marks another in a string of successes for guitarist, composer and producer, Sanders. Establishing his phenomenal credentials via Teotima's two scintillating full-lengths ('Counting the Ways' and 'Weightless'), Sanders has amassed recent acclaim as a key collaborator for vocalist Juanita Euka, Jonny Wickham and Billy Marrows, amongst a litany of other artists. His penchant for Latin-infused contemporary jazz has yielded some sensational projects which now include the 'Perfect Strangers' album courtesy of Sanders' new quartet, Lophae. Pronounced "lo-fi", the collective is further comprised of top-tier collaborators in drummer Ben Brown, bassist Tom Herbert and saxophonist Sam Rapley who breathe sparkling life into 'Perfect Strangers'. We're so appreciative of Greg's time for this conversation which sees us delve into the Lophae project, life as an independent artist, past collaborations, the concept of ego and Vipassana Meditation retreats.

    Welcome to Episode #140 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with King Llama members, Ryan Bailey and Luis Briones. Following the release of their new album over the summer, the LA-based prog-jazz-rock-fusion collective unveiled an excellent release with 'Fata Implexis'. Offering a truly unique perspective on contemporary jazz, King Llama have continued to embrace bold and innovative musical soundscapes across their projects.

    2024/09/25
    Welcome to Episode #139 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with producer, DJ and musician, Honest Lee whose music comes to us via the innovative hub of creative talent, Growroom Productions. And through that very lens of the Hyattsville, Maryland-based, Growroom, one Mylie ("Honest Lee") Durham has managed to chart a thoroughly impressive and engaging musical journey that has afforded himself - and many others - a platform in which to create music steeped in sincerity and unhindered in its design. For Durham, whether his releases have been presented under the banner of Honest Lee, igloo two, The Mighty Heard or Three Man Soul Machine, it's very much a journey that celebrates his continual compulsion and passion to create. It's been an excellent year for Growroom with the unveiling of the second full-length album release from Honest Lee, 'Cosmic Justice', and the release of igloo two's 'between time remixes' compilation so it was an absolute pleasure to be able to secure time with Lee to discuss each of those projects, his initial start in music, his ongoing desire to create and plans for Growroom going forward. To explore the soul and funk-filled treasures from Growroom Productions, please visit the label's Bandcamp page: https://growroom.bandcamp.com/ www.blueingreenradio.com www.blueingreenradio.com/p/listenlive.html TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD The Blue-in-Green:PODCAST runs in conjunction with the online radio station, Blue-in-Green:RADIO which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music.

    2024/08/15
    Welcome to Episode #138 of the Blue-in-Green:PODCAST which this week sees Imran connect with the singer, songwriter, musician and producer, Allysha Joy. The phenomenally-talented Allysha Joy has long served as a prominent name within Melbourne's ever-creative nu-jazz-meets-future-soul landscape that continues to introduce new names to wider audiences. As a member of the now supergroup 30/70, Allysha and company helped to usher in diverse and eclectic new soundscapes that have gone on to leave an indelible mark on the genre and impact each of their individual solo successes outside of the group. Allysha's mind-blowing versatility has seen her garner praise and plaudits as an in-demand collaborator having chalked up work alongside New Sector Movements, Sarah Williams White, Skygaze, David Versace and Finn Rees. Able to flit between a variety of musical realms from spiritual jazz to neo-soul to broken beat, Joy's limitless perceptions on music make her one of the most captivating artists working today. We were beyond thrilled to spend time with Allysha Joy who generously shares so much of her own journey, discusses her creative processes and delves into the release of her third sensational full-length project, 'The Making of Silk'. To grab your copy of Allysha's 'The Making of Silk' and to catch up with past releases, please visit Allysha Joy's Bandcamp page: https://allyshajoy.bandcamp.com/album/the-making-of-silk www.blueingreenradio.com www.blueingreenradio.com/p/listenlive.html TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD The Blue-in-Green:PODCAST runs in conjunction with the online radio station, Blue-in-Green:RADIO which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music.
