Some jazz records from a Sunday morning Instagram Live set - enjoy!

Special guest set! Internationally known producer and professor J. Rawls was kind enough to put together a beautiful set of "favorites that I don't get to play out" for your listening pleasure.

Back with some late night jazz vibes recorded live on Instagram last Sunday. Trying to turn around some additional episodes for you all right now, hopefully one a week! For now, enjoy. Tracklist: Herbie Hancock, Yusef Lateef, Joe Chambers, Medline, Sarah Tandy, Stone Alliance, Eugen Cicero

Short tribute set to the legend Bill Withers - some of his originals and some covers of his classics. I tried to play some of my favorite album cuts of his rather than just the singles. This is once again a reminder that more tributes need to be paid to our living legends while they're still here. I plan to do more "living" tributes in the near future. For now though, plan for additional episodes of Pullin from the Stacks for as long as we're dealing with this pandemic - working on a few new mixes as well. Rest in Power to Mr. Withers. Tracklist: Nancy Wilson, Bill Withers, Bill Withers, Jay Berliner, Bill Withers, Shirley Scott, Hoctor Records, Bill Withers

Special tribute episode to Mike Longo and Manu Dibango, who both tragically passed recently due to Coronavirus. I don't like doing tributes to folks who have passed - it's reminder that we need to be celebrating those who are here! These two musicians produced some of my favorite tunes, and I hope everyone who hasn't heard of them goes out and buys their records / mp3s / streams their music. This is just a small sample. Tracklist: Mike Longo (first set), Manu Dibango (second set)

Apologies for the hiatus! Been a busy month. New dog, work trip to NYC, and now coronavirus! Lots been happening in the real world and it's slowed the podcast schedule a bit. But now that we're all stuck indoors ordering take-out and listening to Orange Man say stupid shit on TV, it's a good time to get back to the music and these records. Got some mellow but dope jazz selections on this episode to listen to while working or lounging. All recent purchases through the mail, fully sanitized for your ears. Enjoy! Tracklist: The New York Saxophone Madness, Jazz Co/Op, Hideo Ichikawa, Surprise Chef, Takashi Mizuhashi and His Friends, McCoy Tyner
