We're still buzzing about having the legend @Brian__Jackson of the Midnight Band in Aotearoa so we kicked the show with a few faves from the classic era of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson's extensive 70's catalogue and some of Brian's dope recent solo material including the recent @bbemusic album "This is Brian Jackson". With Jubt and @kirkjames13
The Swap Meet on demand this week: It's a half century since the release of the classic Donny Hathaway "Extension of a man" LP (Atco), his final solo studio LP, we jam a couple of faves. IHappy Birthday Macca's (@paulmccartney) - expect some solo and Wings goodies. @95bfm @kirkjames13
It's been a sorry couple of weeks with many legends falling, including just this morning news that the great Angie Stone of the Sequence tragically passed away overnight. Othere legends lost recently include singer/producer/songwriter Jerry Butler, singer pianist Roberta Flack, Keyboard player for the Isley Brothers (and Isley Jasper Isley, and solo material): Chris Jasper. We play some tunes for these fallen greats and celebrate their lifetimes of music. Brought to you by K & J and special guest Jarrod.

RIP to the great Jack @DeJohnetteMusic - we spin a couple for him including Miles electric, solo gears and sideman material. A decent swath of new material (@Antibalas, @Peyton, Salimata, Natalie Slade, @svenwundermusic, Droogie Otis @YourOldDroog @madlib, and vintage faves in the mix today. Slip slop and slap it on.
This was a special show for me, my last with top dawg Aneeka Moheed as my boss. Still coming back down to earth after last week's stellar performances by Exploding Rainbow Orchestra, I aired a bunch of faves I'd selected for my sets as their welcome deej. I also asked ace selector Aneeka to play a couple tunes toward the end of the show. Of course, she only picks the best!
