"Looking back to look forward" could be the motto of this playlist. It kicks off with a blaxploitation tinged scorcher of a song from an upcoming Charles Kynard re-release, followed by a live performance in which Enemy (Kit Downes, Petter Eldh, James Maddren) marks a decade of music making by playing some of their key tunes. Also included an unearthed gem featuring a 2009 session by Russ Johnson, Christian Weber, Dieter Ulrich, and albums that mark new directions in the work of Matt Ulery, Ches Smith and Dan Weiss, respectively.

The playlist features Charles Kynard; Enemy, Kit Downes, Petter Eldh, James Maddren; Matt Ulery; Russ Johnson, Christian Weber, Dieter Ulrich; Ches Smith [pictured]; Dan Weiss.
