It's a tube zither made from a species of local
bamboo in Madagascar, of course! Sit in with the Groove Wednesday at
noon to check out incredible music from a box set featuring French jazz
hero Jef Gilson and musicians hailing from Madagascar, including sounds from the aforementioned valiha! Jazzman records hits one out of the park again! Plus, more from all three Placebo LPs, some soaring work from Pharoah Sanders in the '80s and a set inspired by Marvin Gaye. Dig it!

A wild and wooly show coming this Wednesday at the Groove. Got a supercool one from Dope Gems,
a group hailing from the Paris deep groove scene paying tribute to '70s
jazz funk. That's our bag! Plus, a set of Dylan covers to go along
with the great gospel take on Zim's music, Monty Alexander covering Herbie Hancock and outtakes from the Stanton Davis Brighter Days sessions!
