A BLAST FROM OUR EAST END PAST - THE LEGENDARY SOUL FUNK SELF-CONTAINED MUSIC GROUP 'THE NITE TRAIN'

Whether you call them The Night Train, The Nite Train, the Night Train Revue or Doug Cuthbert's boys . . .

From left to right:

The late LORNE McGEE, lead singer/bass DONNY 'Mr. Soul' GERRARD, keyboardist AL 'Mr. Big' FOREMAN, group leader & drummer DOUG CUTHBERT, RON JOHNSON, WAYNE MORRIS, BILL HALLET and lead singer, the late CHUCK FLINTROY.

ALL DJZigZag COULD MUSTER WAS AN OPEN-MOUTHED WOW !! AFTER DIGGIN' HIS #1 COMPTONITE KENDRICK LAMAR BEING INTERVIEWED BY CANADIAN TREASURE NARDWUAR

NOT ONLY DOES DJZigZag FIND NARDWUAR (The Human Serviette) REMARKABLE BUT HIS FAVOURITE HIP-HOP ARTIST KENDRICK LAMAR outta Compton SEZ STUFF LIKE, "NAW, I AIN'T SEEN DIS" and "WHAT'S DIS?" WHEN CONFRONTED BY NARDWUAR KNOWLEDGE. A REMARKABLE INTERVIEW.

It also begs the question, "Where is the Nardish-one getting all his hip-hop info from?"

Sources tell us that BEATSTREET RECORD's owner AVI SHACK isn't providing L.P.'s . . . so who is it?

WAGRadio's MORGAN TANNER sez he ain't the librarical source either. Hmmmm, a mystery!

And also, it is so great to see the reactions of Mr. Lamar when asked questions that he feels no other human should know about. WONDERFUL, Mr. WUAR, WONDERFUL ! ! !

WAGRadio Management

WAGRadio Management

THIS WILL TAKE YA' BACK THIRTY-ODD YEARS . . . IT'S THE LATEST SINGLE RELEASE by BRITAIN'S INCOGNITO with "GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY" ...

It didn't look right when we originally penned;

"This will take ya' back twenty-odd years".
Then we thought about it and realized IT HAD BEEN OVER THIRTY YEARS

since we started calling this Soul-Jazz sound (mostly from England) by its new moniker

- ACID JAZZ !

Over thirty years ago.

No further comment shall be made

The video features Incognito lead singer MO BANDIS and the 'Always There'-band's

first single from their new 2012 Shanachie Records Cd "Surreal".

Posting the new Incognito single prompted DJZigZag to drift back sixteen years

when he was known as The Mole Of Soul

on Vancouver, Canada radio station CJVB 103.3 FM (Cable) / 1470 AM

and give us a few of the ACID JAZZ / SOUL JAZZ choons from the;

GROOVIN' BLUE Mole of Soul Top 103 plus Three AUGUST, 1996 PLAYLIST

The East End KingaDa Blues

Mr. MIKE CVETKOVICH talks about his 1970's

BLACK MUSIC show on CKLG-FM - 99.3 MHz

and THE HARLEM NOCTURNE CABARET as well as his friendship with IKE TURNER and ALBERT COLLINS.

DJZigZag asks why Mr. Mike lost his fondness for

JIMMY WITHERSPOON . . .

And if it's true that VanCity saxophonist LARRY VOLEN almost ended ZigZag's & Mike C's lives during the 1960's.

It's another issue of East Van rappin' between two pals who have made the love of

NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC

a life-long obsession.

WAGRadio Management
