a restless soul production.
nathan haines grew up in new zealand, where due to his father,
began listening to the sounds of john coltrane, miles davis,
thelonius monk, as well as a hybrid of black music sounds created
by bands such as weather report and steely dan. at 19 his musical
curiosity took him to new york where his mind opened up to the
sounds of the street and what lay beneath. hip hop blasting from
his radio, jamming with new york's groove collective and the
ecletic jazz vibes from the club giant step made him realise that
jazz was more a fusion of world beats and not as 'straight' as he
had first thought. when gilles peterson spotted him in '93, he
suggested to polygram that recording this young jazz head wouldn't
be a bad idea. nathan released 'shift left' a year later, and for
his debut album to be put out on verve records in the uk was for
nathan, a dream come true.
in 1995 he moved to london, and started visiting clubs like 'the
blue note', 'the loft', and 'that's how it is'@bar rumba, and
opened his mind even more. drum and bass caught his ears and a
project called 'sci-clone' was realised with releases on metalheadz
and reinforced. in oct '98 he started his own club night called
'bemsha' at the notting hill arts club- an intimate and earthy
underground space deep in the heart of west london.
nathan will admit to starting the club out of sheer frustration. 'i
had nowhere to play my music and also wanted to hear all my musical
styles and influences under one roof'. a blend of live music with
dj and club culture, was and still is the theme of the night, but
with jazz being the roots of it all.
'sound travels' is just an extension of nathan's dream and belief
that music is an open book for all to enjoy.
nathan haines and phil asher have created a masterful excursion
into dancefloor jazz that inspirationally blends exceptional talent
with listenability. the compatability of phil's production magic
and nathan's jazz directive weave effortlessly around a seductive
soul vibe to deliver one the highlights of the year so far.
