Back at it Thursday morning with some great records on the turntable. It's a particularly good day...because there's a new Ed Motta album! We'll hit some highlights from the new LP along with a nice long set of smooth Brazilian grooves. Plus, a double shot of funky piano trio covers from Jesus Christ Superstar, Estonian jazz funk from Jaan Kuman and the usual vinyl-only madness you've come to expect from the Groove!
