Goin' places.
Good stuff hitting the turntables this week at the Groove. Nashville soul man DeRobert Adams just dropped his 2nd full length with his crack band, The Half-Truths. Sweet! Meanwhile, on the other side of the soul spectrum, Ethiopian jazz legend Mulatu Astatke just released a new one with a new incarnation of his band, Steps Ahead. Killer! Plus, the usual funkiness will ensue, including more from Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings and tributes to two jazz legends whose passing in late December slipped under the radar!

Best of the Rest 2013.
Hope all are feelin' good in the early days of 2014. Finished strong with our best of new vinyl 2013 show
