Hanging on the wall.

Good things going down at the Mt. Airy Groove Wednesday night.  Cool new release from the reggae collective called The Lions, who moved over to Stonesthrow for their sophomore release.  Plus, some French jazz on a great comp from Heavenly Sweetness, German trumpeter Till Brönner and Booker T. diggin' on the Beatles.  My man Steve G. sits in. See you later!

Back at it Wednesday night.  Barney Wilen's Moshi remains one of the most elusive LPs from the European scene.  In fact, I've never seen a copy let alone own one!  However, Germany's Sonorama Records just released a mess of unreleased tracks from the French tenorman's personal archives, appropriately named Moshi Too, so let's check out music from the legendary road trip.  Plus, more spirtual jazz from that great new album from Lance Ferguson's Menagerie, Numero's reissue of classic Syl Johnson and some Estonian jazzfunk from Jaan Kuman.
