For today’s selection, I bring you TCO. The aptly named Cinematic Orchestra (TCO) were formed by 30 year old J. Swinscoe back in 1999. At the time Jay was still an employee at Ninja Tune in South London, where he was responsible for export sales at the long-standing independent record label. Swinscoe arrived at London Bridge from Scotland via Yorkshire and Cardiff with a background playing bass and guitar in bands and DJing, as well as a head full of ideas and influences, such as his love of jazz bass players, rhythm sections and film soundtracks.
The tune for you this evening is called “All that you give” featuring Fontella Bass. Here is a good selection for the blog because both me and Noudi have this song and I was going to play it but she already had it on her list. It’s a lovely mix of Fontella Bass and TCO’s great skills of composition. Fontella Bass is one of the great soul sistas that’s still active in the business. She’s originally from St. Louis but started out her big career in Chi-town.
