This week on the show, our guest Jonathan Bywater turns up with a crate that demonstrates he’ll follow musical inspiration wherever it happens to be hiding, genres be damned. One moment he’s floating through The Midnight Express Show Band's "Tri-Fire" boogie demo or the globe-trotting boom-bap of Chillin’ Villains, the next he’s swerving into Cash Money Millionaires like it’s still 2000 and everyone’s wearing unbelievably large denim.
Then he returns to the roots: Vernon Garrett preaching, U.S. Warren doing tough-love blues, even Kahil El’Zabar’s deep-water ritualism sits comfortably next to Cooper-Moore and Hamid Drake’s shimmering “Five Angels by the Stream.”
Then we're heavy loungin' with Enoch Light’s "Shaft" and some private press business courtesy of the Randon Bros, before jettin' south to break out the claves and acordion for Conjunto Miramar's Columbian Cumbia heater "Carruseles", Nuyorican swinger Ricardo Ray and other latin treats. Enjoy
