The same transistor would serve as an invaluable asset as he was posted to the furthest fielding posts on the school cricket field where he would secretly tune in and dream, hoping that no one would bat a ball in his direction... Not a fan of school and not a "team player", music would serve as an escape from reality for Jeff throughout the agonisingly long school term times, and the happy excited voices of his favourite DJs became his closest friends. He would spend hours with his nose buried in his collection of music dictionaries, and in 1977 the publication of The Guinness Book of Hit Singles was a godsend, and he became obsessed with release dates, chart positions, and was proud to tell you how far random groups reached in the charts and when. 1977 was a pivotal year. It was the year of the Jubilee in the UK, and Jeff started out the year as a disco fan all decked out in his union jack Jubilee souvenir merchandise, but 1977 was also to be the last year of his innocence, and teenage hormones, various personal and historical events were to bring about many changes. The Jubilee merchandise became torn Punk gear and Jeff was plunged headfirst into the "real" world, and began a long period as a rebellious "difficult" teenager. "Punk" never really suited Jeff though. While the spirit of youth and rebellion rang true through every bone in his body, he found the look uncomfortable, and had trouble with a lot of the music outside of the major bands, but it did introduce to him to one of the great musical loves of his life, Reggae. Until this time Reggae was not something that was common place on the music scene of the UK outside of occasional hits by Desmond Dekker and of course Bob Marley, who was reaching his zenith, and the Punks and The Clash in particular where very keen on it. Steel Pulse's seminal album "Handsworth Revolution" came out, and a mass of Reggae compilations flooded the market, and the UK Reggae scene exploded with Lover's Rock etc etc as well as much more rebellious and concious sounds. Jeff's eyes were opened, and thus started an interest he maintains to this day. At the same time the Mod Revival and Two Tone (the perfect fusion of Punk and Reggae) arrived, and he found his place in the scene of the day. Whilst the Two Tone thing educated and helped him dig deeper into his love of Reggae, The Mods helped him discover what was to become another musical love - Soul music.. inspired by Randy Cozens' top 100 published in Sounds magazine amongst others (he was an avid reader of the Music press which was enjoying its heyday at this period in time) and a myriad of club DJs he was well embarked on his long voyage of musical discovery. Eventually, after a few years of just being a fan, he moved on to to making music himself, and played in a series of bands, improving each time, experimenting with Rock, Funk and Jazz under the mentorship of his friend and educator Steve Roberts who was amongst other things the guitarist in Desmond Dekker's band the Aces. Eventually due to exasperation and record labels that were too prepared to bargain but not to actually sign, he and his partner managed to get control of the tapes they had recorded in various record company studios and booked into a studio to mix them and release them themselves. This was the period of Acid Jazz, and Jeff's insatiable interest in "new" sounds, led him deep into previously unexplored territories lik(continued) JEFF THE FISH'S SONIC NATION - EPISODE 95 95 full https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/jeffthefish/episodes/2022-12-29T02_37_04-08_00 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/jeffthefish/episodes/2022-12-29T02_37_04-08_00 Thu, 29 Dec 2022 10:37:04 +0000 2022-12-29 2022-12-29 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/jeffthefish/episodes/2022-12-29T02_37_04-08_00 JEFF THE FISH 7185 false Tune in to “JEFF THE FISH'S SONIC NATION” a musical utopia where cultures meet - This week featuring: Wild Card, The Allergies, Izy, Osunlade, The Harlem Gospel Travelers , Renegades Of Jazz, Tau & The Drones of Praise, Alabê KetuJazz, Al-Qasar, Tóke x DJ Densen, Bronwyn, L.A.B & Paolo Baldini DubFiles, Searchlight, Big Sean ft.
