The Tune Up #15 – September 25th, 2026

The Tune Up plays an evolving mix of jazz which blends between classic, experimental and raw sounds. This week starts off with a recent release I discovered from New Zealand pianist Judy Bailey – Album is Colours released in 2024. It flows into a  spiritual jazz theme, including my favourtive John Coltrane track from A Love Supreme. Then two amazing Pharoah Sanders songs to keep it going.

Tracks played:

  • Judy Bailey Quartet – Colours of My Dream
  • Fitz Gore and The Talismen – Musication
  • John Coltrane – A Love Supreme, Pt. II – Resolution
  • Pharoah Sanders – Love is Here 1 (Live in Paris 1975)
  • Pharoah Sanders – You’ve Got To Have Freedom
  • Billy Robinson – Quebec On My Mind
  • Robert Glasper – Soundcheck One
  • Robert Glasper – Rm 112
  • Robert Glasper – Rm 112 (Flipped by Karriem Riggins)
  • DopeGems – Journey to The Shore
  • Oscar Peterson Trio – Easy Listening Blues
  • Antonio Carlos Jobim – Aguas De Marco

The Tune Up airs here on CKMS Radio Waterloo every Friday from 6-7pm.

The Tune Up #4 – July 3, 2026

Welcome to the 4th edition of the show. This week I will get right into the jazz music I’ve been enjoying. There is a wide variety of sounds in the mix, including modern blends of jazz and hip hop, Like from Astrocolor’s Stargazing – AstroJazz, Vol. 2 album from 2024, Brahja’s self-titled released in 2019, and SGJAZZ’s self-titled from 2019.

I also just got back from the Montreal Jazz Festival, so I’m playing songs from Kamasi Washington and Kokoroko, which were two great shows that I saw. I am also including Badbadnotgood with a Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time medley, which I think is apt since the remake of the game was recently announced.

 

Tracks played:

  • Joe Henderson – Without A Song
  • Mike Longo – Ocean of his might
  • Duval Timothy – Ghostnotes (Feat Bernard Purdie)
  • Brahja – Keepers
  • Astrocolor – Time Internal
  • Kamasi Washington – Final Thought
  • Kokoroko – Just Can’t Wait
  • SGJAZZ, Dr. Dundiff – Like Glue
  • Chet Baker – What’ll I Do
  • Badbadnotgood – Title Theme / Saria’s Song / Song Of Storms
  • Colin Stetson – Passage

The Tune Up airs on CKMS-FM every Friday from 6-7pm
