June 6, 200718 yr Yes good people, The Zanzibar in New Jersey is a highly inspirational space, alot of that is down to the resident DJ Mr Tony Humphries [ he spins there most Fridays & Sats]. To witness him spin on his own turf, he is highly soulful in the mix, which can be different to when he plays over here. He is a very credible musical presenter with his roots steeped in Black Music, I can honestly say Tony at the Zanzibar, you definitely would not be disappointed, but unfortunately the Zanzibar closed in 1996. Sorry but the club doesn't exist anymore Regards Dr Bob Jones Edited June 7, 200718 yr by Dr Bob Jones
June 6, 200718 yr Another quality music short, this time highlighting the New Jersey Sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbNbNy96fZ8 Enjoy!! Dr Bob Jones Good stuff indeed although one could argue that the "true" New Jersey Sound was in fact Sylvia and Joe Robinson's All Platinum/Stang/Turbo outfit of the 60's and 70's with all those classic sounds from the Moments , Whatnauts, Willie and the Mighty Magnificents etc !
June 6, 200718 yr Can someone direct me to the link about Nu-Groove? I used to do work with Frank and Judy at the label.. Thanks, Neil Neil Try this link mate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A67ibaUPWtY Best Dr Bob J
June 6, 200718 yr excellent clip but its from 90-91-92 at the latest...used to dance the night away there reminded me of the casino at its very very best.....and the gardening club london and venus nottingham....although they were a little less soulful... cheers bob..... Edited June 6, 200718 yr by souljazera
June 6, 200718 yr brilliant clip...thanks for posting it up...........is Zanzibar still going then ?????. I'd like to go if its still operating the soulful dance gear.........more info pse. Russ

We must have frequented the same places mate!! Ooh woudn't say the Gardening Club was less soulful, Chris the Rythm Doctor and Evil Olive like a groove certainly but they always had lots of the soulful stuff, one of my favorite clubs ever that. Venus slightly different, not bad music (except when Jeremy T**T Healy was on) but less of the soulful stuff I agree, and more of the hairy transvestites, very offputting when you are trying to gurn freely!! Remember Tony Humphries opening night at MOS when he moved here, played about 9 hours, real across the board of black music (well no Northern but I forgave him) absolutely awesome, shame he was playing crap prog house by the time he went home. Great memories!!
June 6, 200718 yr Ooh Jock!! I remember Jeremy Healy there very well, fire eaters and all sorts.... on the back of a very hard bank holiday weekend I think, not a healthy combination

Great film of the great Mr Humphries. Thanks for that Venus was a regular haunt of mine early 90s, along with others off the scene: Kerso, Pepsi, Phill Worrel, Kev Kelly, Jocko, Mick Cullen amongst others
June 7, 200718 yr Ooh Jock!!

Great memories!! Yes Jocko Great memories, I've played with (Chris) The Rhythm Doc a number of times. 2 or 3 times at 'Raw' when it was at the YMCA in Tottenham Court Rd, then later in Tallin-Estonia, which is where Chris lives. He married Estonia's top fashion designer. Also do you remember when DJ Harvey brought Larry Levan to 'The Gardening Club' in 1988?, unfortunately Larry passed on 4 years later age 38. Regards Dr Bob Jones
June 7, 200718 yr Its Jock, Colin' s mate, assume thats Tony Free, we met some time ago at Tim Browns and in Sheffield, sure I still have a 12" you did no? hi jocko....i did quite a few 12"s which one do u have SOUL FRICTION??? that was on the scottish label...forget the name if it or the paper ones or the usa ones?? or groove ??? i do remember u but due to excess music production damage my poor memory banks are sadly depleted....will u be at the next lifeline with mr laws... when did we meet in sheff??? a big hello to you good sir...nice clip esp the mr homefries bit.......

Great memories!! I used to love that club. Wasn't the night called Feel Real? Also got a couple of early rythym doctor 12"s somwhere...... one with a picture of a boot on and one with a flower on it. Not soul, but great records from a grest time. I'll shall have to dig them out................
June 10, 200717 yr Fantastic Bob. thsnks a lot. It's ironic that THIS was the real Garage sound & not what was being played over at King Street. The true garage sound was being made in New Jersey By Tiny Humphries, Paul Simpson, Smack, etc etc. happy days man, happy days.
