203: Maki Asakawa 浅川マキ

The days grow colder, and as the early dusk settles, her silhouette comes into focus—the woman with dark sunglasses, a cigarette ever in hand…🚬

Maki Asakawa (1942–2010), the “Queen of Japanese Underground,” was far more than a jazz and blues singer; she was an icon. Rooted in her signature look and smoky voice, her music unfolded spellbindingly over four decades, weaving countless classics and stories into her legacy. For this tribute show, I’ve drawn deeply from her live sessions, immersing in her jazz roots and exploring the subtle echoes of funk and experimental sounds that marked her later years.

A sentimental journey through the world of Maki Asakawa. Tune in at 1pm to 3 on @wrir97.3fm and wrir.org 🥃

Global A Go-Go presents:

It’s really not as bad as it sounds

Lance Koehler arrived in Richmond’s Oregon Hill neighborhood in 2001 from New Orleans; soon thereafter he opened a studio, Minimum Wage Recording. For more than 20 years, Minimum Wage has been a fulcrum of Richmond’s DIY music scene — an affordable, congenial place where musicians of all genres could make a quality recording.

Now Lance is moving out to Staunton where he plans to rebuild a Shenandoah Valley version of Minimum Wage. Lance’s clients and friends (and when you do good work at a fair price, lots of your clients become your friends) are sending him off with a celebration at the Broadberry on Sunday night, where a few of them will perform: Bio Ritmo, Justin Golden and Lance’s own band No BS! Brass are on the bill, and special guests are expected.

Many of my favorite Richmond recordings of the last 20 years were made by Lance at Minimum Wage, and a few of them will make up the whole first hour of this week’s program. You’ll hear Afro-Zen Allstars, Bio Ritmo, Hotel X, Miramar, No BS! Brass, Oregon Hill Funk All-Stars, Rattlemouth, Yeni Nostalji — basically a who’s who of Richmond’s global-facing music scene, all from Minimum Wage sessions.

Also this week (Sunday November 17, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, and any old time at my podcast site): Nobody expects unexpected reggae versions, including Max Romeo vs. The Partridge Family and Paketo Wilson vs. Marty Robbins; new funk from Fat Freddy’s Drop and Cheo; and the late 60s/early 70s Nigerian sounds of Afrobeat being born.
