Mondo Jazz

Ludovico Granvassu

This is a jazz world! ...all the international jazz you always wanted to hear and nobody ever played for you! Mondo Jazz is dedicated to the proposition that jazz is a language that originated in the US but is now spoken all over the world in various, at times very strong, accents and dialects, which make it a rich resource for rewarding sonic explorations. Needless to say there will be plenty of US jazz on my program, in an attempt to show the continuity that exists between the US and the international jazz scenes.

This time we felt like exploring the interplay of basketball and jazz, focusing in particular on a great jazz advocate like Kareem Abdul Jabbar [pictured], on the soundtrack of the HBO series "The Winning Time", on an oneiric game played with a basketball fish, and on Stanley Clarke's tribute to this sport, to which he devoted as many hours as he did to the study of the bass, while growing up in Philly.

The playlist features Nicholas Britell, Robert Glasper; Jeff Beal; Poncho Sanchez, Tito Puente; Steve Lacy, Don Cherry; Freddie Hubbard; Kris Allen; The Jazz Passengers; and Stanley Clarke.
