Family grooves.

An excellent combo of new & old releases pulled from the stacks today at the Mt. Airy Groove. Got more from Myron & E with the Soul Investigators, a little from the neglected Mayer Hawthorne album (the jury is still out!) and, of course, Ed Motta! Plus, music from Minnie Riperton, Shuggie Otis and Stanley Cowell. Onward to victory!

AOR.
Been really diggin' the new Ed Motta,
so plans are to spin more from the new one alongside some of his great
(and weird!) past albums (and maybe some Steely Dan!). Still more good
stuff to hear on the Sam Sanders release on Strata/180 Proof, plus music from Robert Aaron and congaman Big Black. See you Wednesday.

The view from here.
Been waiting for the new Ed Motta
since its' delay in April...but it's in and ready and most
importantly, it's killer! Also got the latest from 180 Proof/Strata
Records, this time a fuzzed out affair from the obscure Sam Sanders. And still more goin' down: a set for my pops (Bill Evans, natch) and Herb Geller jamming with some European electric groovers! Let's do this.
