90s State of Mind #23: "D'Angelo: Live at the Jazz Cafe"

Welcome to Episode #23 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the 1998 album from the neo-soul pioneer, D'Angelo's 'Live at the Jazz Cafe'.

Recorded in 1995 following the release of D'Angelo's debut full-length 'Brown Sugar', 'Live at the Jazz Cafe' is a live album by neo-soul luminary released on June 30, 1998, on EMI Records. It was later released in Japan on December 7, 1999, with a bonus track. The live recordings are taken from D'Angelo's appearance at the Jazz Café in London, England, on September 14, 1995. The album was subsequently re-issued in 2014 with a recording of the complete show, including previously unreleased tracks.

Imran & Rhonda delve deep into 90s classic looking at the musicians involved, discussing the various iterations of the album along with the overall mystique of D'Angelo: three studio albums over a period of thirty years is a mind-blowing statistic but again a testament to his music that fans still eagerly await a new release.

​Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music.
