Several inspirational artists left us recently, including the great Junior Mance, whose records I've really loved since DJ Center put me onto him years ago. RIP Mr. Mance, RIP Ricky Powell, RIP Double K, RIP DOOM. Condolences to everyone who's lost loved ones and to others in the hip-hop and broader community who drew inspiration from the incredible work these folks and others put in over the years. Keep your heads up everyone. Tracklist: Junior Mance Tribute Set, Grant Green, Sergio Mendes

A special all-Stax guest set from Daniel Littlewood, who I've been digging records and sharing music with since we were in high school together. He came through with this selection of favorites from his Stax collection, and I added a couple more off the label from my crates after. Much appreciated sir!! Enjoy. Tracklist on Soundcloud and embedded on mp3.

Back with a few more upbeat but smooth covers and selections this week! Thought folks would enjoy a few drum breaks, keyboards and smooth basslines. Much appreciation to everyone tuning in!

Rounding out the year, I selected a few of my favorite 2020 aquisitions - I can't call most of these digs because I think all of them appeared in my mailbox at some point. A few I'd been after forever, along with a couple beautiful new releases. I hope everyone enjoys, and I want to again extend a huge thanks to all those who've tuned in this past year, and those who graciously put together guest sets for the podcast - J. Rawls, Bruce Phillips, Evolve-One and DadbodRapPod! Finally, Rest in Power Stanley Cowell, the brilliant pianist and composer, along with all the other legends we've lost this past year. It's been a tough one. Sending love to all. Tracklist: La Troupe Palestinienne de Deir Yassin, Heath Brothers featuring Stanley Cowell, Phi-Psonics, Jazz Co-Op, Organic Pulse Ensemble, Alan Hackshaw, Hvalfugl

Much appreciation to everyone who's tuned in the last six years! We made it to 150 episodes, way farther than I ever anticipated. Couldn't have gotten here without so many folks tuning in.

Rawls, Bruce Phillips, Evolve-One, DO77 and Waffles Hidalgo. So - I feel like every fifty episodes is a good time to pull the hip-hop rarities and b-sides out the crates.
