Celebrating the end of 2011 and entering the new year, here is vol.4 of the CHURCH mixtape series. CHURCH is MdCL’s monthly clubnite event held in LA and NYC.
The LA edition of CHURCH has been resident at Angel’s Piano Bar, but on January 1, 2012 we farewell Angel’s with a special New Year CHURCH there featuring special guests Kamasi Washington, DJ Destroyer and more - the new LA home (and date) for the clubnite will be announced that night!
The NYC edition of CHURCH is resident monthly at Drom in the East Village. Presented in collaboration with Giant Step and Revive Da Live, CHURCH NYC is the 1st Friday of the month and features resident guests alongside MdCL: nia andrews, Nate Smith (Dave Holland/Betty Carter), Mark Kelley (The Roots) and more.
We’re super excited for the CHURCH events to come in 2012 including the debut of CHURCH LONDON (word on that closer to the time, late Spring!).
The vol.4 mixtape features a range of artists and music - with some classic MdCL flips along the way. From a classic 1962 Duke Ellington recording to The Roots collaboration with Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, the mixtape covers the whole range and gives you a little taste of MdCL’s CHURCH.
Herbie Hancock - Tell Me A Bedtime Story Quincy Jones - Hikky Burr Dizzy Gillespie - Manteca Bobbi Humphrey - Uno Esta Duke Ellington - Caravan Ramsey Lewis - Summer Breeze The Roots + Miguel Atwood-Ferguson - Antiquity Verde Amarelo vs MdCL - interlude Herbie Hancock - Watch It Hi Tek - LTAH (MdCL’s Rhodes flip) Teddy Rok 7 - Steady Ahmad Jamal - One

this coming sunday october 2, my monthly LA party CHURCH turns one year old. the clubnite is the first sunday of the month at Angel’s Piano Bar on LA’s westside in Santa Monica. over the course of the night we take the music from a live acoustic jazz trio set to an improvised electronic beats session with special guests and guest DJ sets inbetween and after. you never know who’s going to turn up - whether it’s the likes of chris daddy dave or ohmega watts jumping on the band stand; louie vega or leon ware hanging out in the audience; robert glasper jamming drums (!) with the guest DJ or some other unexpected surprise, CHURCH is all about taking the music somewhere new.
in commemoration of the one year celebration, i’ve put together a new mixtape featuring some of my favorite cuts from some of my favorite jazz artists. it’s a free download… enjoy!
