Below, alto saxophonist Marcus Joseph, presents a project entitled Beyond The Dome, a body of work that explores themes of personal and external limitations. With his remarkable approach to Afro-Jazz, Marcus musically explores "the idea of what binds us to who and where we are and the transcendence of perceived obstacles to become our authentic selves".
If you've ever wondered who is the guy at the beginning of "Protect Ya Neck" album version, here is some more audio and info. I dug back in my cassettes to revisit an underground Hip Hop radio show who broke The Wu early-on even before they had a music video. Introducing, the radio host who satisfies a caller's urge to hear Wu-Tang at the beginning of "Protect Ya Neck".
On 90.3 FM at City College of New York, Lamell Watson hosted the Hardcore Righteousness Hip Hop radio show back in the early 90's. This radio station located on the west side of Harlem represented the underground lovely and gave emerging talent a chance. Notable figures of Hip Hop such as The Wu, Jeru The Damaja, Natural Elements, J-Live and Black Moon graced the airwaves early in their careers. I was fortunate to live a block away from the station and visited the show regularly.
In this clip, you'll hear some moments of Lamell buggin' out with guests and phone callers along with his co-host Kwame Veer. This show was fun and La made it that way with his wit and honesty in-between rocking some of the best in underground Hip Hop.
You hear start to hear Lamell at the 2:16 mark in-between clips of Kwame Veer, both answering calls by rowdy and comedic fans of the show.

If you had ever wondered what a collaboration between 70’s era Charles Earland, Dexter Wansel and Roni Size for a KPM library music album might sound like – here’s your answer! Fender Rhodes, Hammond, flute and spacy synthesizers ride across James Smith’s sterling drum work, and Sulene Flemings’ ghostly wordless background vocals mark this track out as a spacey jazz-funk oddity.
‘Liquor & Poker’ is a homage to 1950’s organ & sax rhythm & blues became a firm favourite in the bands live shows – it’s combination of old school swinging drums, honking tenor, gritty guitar and organ is always a crowd pleaser, but didn’t quite make it onto the bands forthcoming long player ‘Take A Shot’ – so is included here as a bonus throwback slice of the good groove."

Below, The Realm x Atjazz x Kelli Sae continue the voyage of pleasure as they get the rhythm jumping on a Soulful House revisit to Incognito's 2001 track "On The Road".
Despite its twenty five years of existence, the Orchestra of the Polish Radio and TV in Łódź managed to rediscover itself and with every year produced even more modern and more interesting sounds, which fit perfectly into the glass-and-steel Poland, reaching high into the sky. The Orchestra recorded disco tracks based on pulsating drum rhythms, exploited funk-like styles along with some more elaborate forms, almost cinematic in character. “City” showcases an extensive range of accomplishments of Henryk Debich’s orchestra recorded in 1978, and launches our longer wandering through each year in the vast archives of the Orchestra.
The material comes from original, archival tapes of the Orchestra, kept at the archives of the Polish Radio in Łódź. All records have been remastered. To be continued – quite soon!"
The music stands up to and can be compared to anything released on the great Jazz labels and just like a Classic Blue Note, Prestige, Verve or Impulse release this is an absolute Stand Out Session.
For the London, Tokyo and all points West End crowd the Worldwide Sound is "The Known Unknown" which has been featured on several underground compilations back in the Acid Jazz Heydays of the 1990's, but the whole album is a complete undiscovered gem.
Self released in 1984 and long out of print, original copies fetch $1000 and upwards, so Jazz Room Records are proud and pleased to bring this Spiritual Soul Jazz gem out to a wider audience." - Jazz Room Records
