We start and continue throughout this episode with a tribute to the influential saxophonist who fused music and spirituality, Cedric Im Brooks, who has died at age 70 in the United States from cardiac arrest at New York Hospital in Queens. He had been in a coma-like state since February 2010 and according to his sister, Paulette Keise, was unable to speak for the last three years. Brooks became a pupil at the renowned Alpha Boys School aged 11, where he learned music theory and clarinet In his late teens he took up tenor saxophone and flute. He recorded at Studio One for Clement “Coxsone” Dodd and went on to team up with Rastafarian drummer Count Ossie in the 70s. He also worked with The Skatalites and took Rolando Alphonso’s place on sax in 1999.  May Cedric Brooks rest in peace with the other greats in Heaven.

Seen as its New Zealand Music month during May I thought I’d play a few NZ tunes too. I even managed to get a couple of interviews in with Tisyn of The Midnights and Shelton of Soulovus. Go check the bands websites out and take a listen to their music, I know they’d appreciate it. Both bands are keen to get gigs in and around New Zealand and off-shore if anyone is feeling up to supporting them. Both bands capture qualities of current New Zealand reggae. From the RnB fused soul-roots reggae of Soulovus to the spacey dub-injected reggae of The Midnights, these bands produce quality sounds and rhythms. Enjoy!

Goin’ Steady With Newtown Rocksteady [GFR#240]

Kia ora everyone! Thats Maori for hello – pronounced kee-ah or-rah! Here in New Zealand during the month of May we seek to celebrate, play, purchase, like, enjoy, share, listen to and dig as music New Zealand music as we can – May is New Zealand Music Month! As it turned out I was able to kick off this years NZ Music Month by interviewing Andy Hoy, drummer for Newtown Rocksteady, a 13 piece band from Wellington playing a hybrid of NZ reggae, rocksteady, ska and dub. I talk to him all about their EP release tour. Their new EP is called ‘Goin’ Steady‘ and its available now so please go check it out here.

As this episode went to air Andy and the band were making their way up to Hamilton. Since then I’ve been to the Yot Club to see Newtown Rocksteady perform two-sets of great ska, rocksteady, and reggae with plenty dub overtones. I was DJ in between their sets. They played their new EP for their first set then they let loose on their second set playing loads of classic sounding ska, rocksteady and reggae. What a night!!!! So glad I went. The moral of this story, if there is one, would be to go support local bands when they come to your town/city. I so wish I had recorded their second set now, it was pure magic! Enjoy.
