Trees & grass & things.

Let's face it, music is a better way to connect the world than any politician's promise of a global economy.  Join me at the Junction Wednesday night for records from around the world, including spiritual jazz from Lloyd Miller & The Heliocentrics, classic reggae from Bunny Wailer, and fuzzy African grooves from Manu DiBango.

Stop by The Junction Wednesday night. Got a set of rare Sabu Martinez lined up, recorded in Sweden after he relocated there in the early 70s. Plus, spiritual percussion from Mosahiko Togashi, more electric piano grooves from that great Emphasis reissue, and California soul from HP Riot. Dig it!
