So I've been having technical difficulties with the show for the last month, but that's all over now, and I'm back with the funky music. This week is a real mish-mash of styles, too.

I know that it's become a bit tiresome to describe these shows as all over the map, but how else can I call a show that goes from 1963 jazz to Brazillian (new and old), straight funk to mod classics, and jazz fusion to dub? There's all sorts of stuff in this show, and hopefully something you'll dig. Some of my highlights - Mingus' bass opening, the synth freakouts from Shades of Joy, the moment the tamborines come in in the December's Children track, and the incredible echoes from Dr. Alimantado. These are the moments that keep me listening to music!
