Since 1994, Marv has been producing mixed tapes/CD compilations that illuminate the many styles of music that he loves but have fallen short of major exposure and marketing.

A special thanks to Tillman's proprietor Lesly Bernard for providing great spaces for musicians & DJs to flourish beyond "open" formats. This set was recorded at the too short lived Mr. Jones. Situated on 14th Street near 2nd Avenue, beautiful with a butta sound system (so butta that the bass signal on this has been gained slightly because the subs in Mr. Jones were so powerful that this set was recorded with the bass knob near zero). Gently bassed for that nice look on your face after you hear them whispers of style and grace. 4+ hours and 90% instrumental. Enjoy, Qool__Marv http://www.tillmansnyc.com/ Photo captured by http://saragiusti.tumblr.com/

He threw us names like Larry Heard, Tony Humphries, Lil Louis & The World, Theo Parrish, Karizma, DJ Spen, and Osunlade as major influences on what he calls his “Africa dipped piece of musical information.” On the title of his mix, Marv explains: From a multidimensional wide-angle lens perspective, REACH can mean the reach of Africa’s rhythms, global, or REACH can mean my hand reaching for yours for the solidarity soul shake. REACH is a directive to reflect and envision, then go for yours with pride. Blood, DNA, or internet wires, we are one – uthando (= affection). New Yorkers: catch Qool DJ Marv live at Harlem’s Red Rooster every Thursday evening from 7pm-12 midnight.

The predominately instrumental finale of the Sounds Of The Season series. The only vocals are from Ella Fitzgerald. This is for the 'big kids' to play after the children go the fa la la to sleep. If you've collected all four, you'll find this to be your interlude between the fun of the first three. No special mixing edits or quotes, just each song as is. Maybe your little kid can handle this mix too? It can be your way to introduce Jazz to your youngster. Every artist featured is a genuine genius. Wishing you good things this holiday season, and all year 'round. Good will, have, all men. Peace!
