A NIGHT FOR JACK
remembering Jack Rose

featuring performances by
Glenn Jones
Nathan Bowles
Daniel Bachman
Chris Forsyth
Megajam Booze Band

plus DJs Ian Nagoski and Michael Chaiken
and exclusive video of Jack performing

megajam booze band!
listened to raag manifestos a few nights ago and wow -- i obviously like/love a lot of stuff that has come in Rose's wake in the past few years, but the dude towers pretty high above 'em all.

Man I wish I could go to that. I imagine that is going to be a very heavy but musically super-rich evening.

Who is in the megajam booze band btw?

ha, i don't know -- i just assumed it was going to be a collab between all the guys playing.

I think they play periodically, see them on bills now and again. Maybe it is a Philly thing, i.e., a crew gets together to jam for momentous occasions? Sometimes Philly seems like the nexus of my musical universe, wish it was a little closer.

Cool! Totally going, thanks!

R.I.P. Bill Kellum from VHF just shared this "early version" of Kensington Blues, apparently submitted in 2005 to the label but scrapped for what became the official album. Glad there is still new music from him to share:

JACK ROSE
NEW SINGLE – ‘CHASING CARS’
RELEASED ON 11TH DECEMBER 2015

Fourteen-year-old Kent-based, Jack Rose is set to release a brand new single on the 11th of December 2015.

‘Chasing Cars’ is the follow up to Jack’s debut single ‘Lost’ and is the young singer’s unique take on the classic Snow Patrol tune from 2006.

Produced by Kevin Energy Thorpe from Big Jam Studios in Kent, the song will be accompanied by a stunning video by renowned film and music video director Mark J Blackman and produced by Inspiration Films (http://www.inspirationfilms.co.uk).

The video will see Jack Rose star alongside TV and movie star Rosie Day and fellow actors Ceejay Sergeant, Michelle Archer and Graham Fletcher-Cook.

Taking inspiration from Ed Sheeran, Nathan Grisdale, Chris Brown, Eminem, Bruno Mars, Sam Smith and Ty Dolla $ign, the multi-talented Jack Rose, although only fourteen, has already proven himself to be an accomplished singer-songwriter, rapper, actor and radio presenter, hosting the UK Top 30 Countdown Show on Hit Mix UK (www.hitmixuk.com) every Sunday between 7 and 9pm.

A rare talent, Jack’s last single ‘Lost’ picked up radio airplay within hours of being released and he gained between 500 and 1000 Twitter followers per day from all over the world.

Jack Rose is set to announce himself to a wider audience in the coming months and he is without doubt a name to watch in 2016 and beyond.

see that this thread is kept clean

Lordy at the above. To the real Jack: peace, once more.

where was this anyway? turf club?

been heavy into this lately & absolutely loving it, esp his ragtime/old timey stuff has gone from being my least to most favourite. some combination of playing/thumbpick/micing on kensington blues makes the bass on tracks like flirtin with the undertaker bludgeon the song to death a bit, but dr ragtime & his pals sounds awesome and is pure joy

really enjoyed the remembrances, the points about his craftsmanship & attention to sonic details are very otm, and the bachman stuff in particular is v sweet and chimes with my starry-eyed memories of meeting jack

also just want to bask in this magnificent sentence again:

His ragtime songs were so powerful and executed with such precision and might that even “hipsters” got it.

the stuff about him 'owning' everything he did rang true, and makes me think more about how confidently and fruitfully he followed fahey, thriving in his shadow, following him upriver deep into the mountains in such of the source. watching some of his performances on youtube it's incredible how much he looks & dresses like fahey, as if his quest had started transformed him physically, presumably starting at that mighty right hand. and yeah, it's great to hear sundogs again, was a truly awesome piece to hear

I could live inside of "Sundogs".

Seeing this thread has made me dig out Two Originals Of... God but Mountaintop Lamento is beautiful. Think I might put Effigy on next and go run around in the woods in a bear suit.

Nine years.

Great story:

“Yeah I got Terry Reilly records, man - at home, where ya listen to that kind of stuff. I’m trying get people to buy beers here!” - Jack Rose to Jeff Zeigler when the latter made a request while the former was DJ’ing at JBs. Relayed to me yesterday while mixing with JZ. RIP.

12 years gone.

not in a mainstream sense but there's a whole zone of guitar playing now that doesn't exist without Rose, a giant

Absolutely true. If only he could have seen it.

Huh, odd! Drop 'em a line.
