Soul Freedom episodes

  • Episode 40: Get Down for the Get Down, it's called My Occupation

    A collection of songs following how my mind works! rom Beats, Hip Hop, Spoken Word, Old Soul New Soul.  The selection criteria was simply under 2min 30, many under 2 min - thats full length tracks no chopping or cutting or other such wizardry It therefore lent itself more to old soul and beat or poetry than longer more Contemporary but there is a bit of everything from pre Motown Gladys to elZhi.  Enjoy if you can flick through the genres like I can! 25 tracks and still well under an hour!

  • Episode 39: Roy Ayers
    I am not particularly a Roy Ayers expert.  However, I noticed that he was recently 82years of age so I thought I would do a podcast in favour of this icon of Soul and Jazz music.I simply used some of the tracks that were readily available on my music hard drive and took it from there. I still ended up being in excess of 2 hours.  I did not look to fill any gaps either in his catalogue or my knowledge.  There were other tracks that I could have included from here or my vinyl and cd collection,  This is just a snapshot.I admire greatly Roy Ayers for the way that he is always progressive and helps, nurtures, and uses new and emerging artists and works cross genres.  A great man no doubt.Hey Lover (feat.
