Let's face it, music is a better way to connect the world than any politician's promise of a global economy. Join me at the Junction Wednesday night for records from around the world, including spiritual jazz from Lloyd Miller & The Heliocentrics, classic reggae from Bunny Wailer, and fuzzy African grooves from Manu DiBango.

People are together.
Funkiness looms Wednesday night on Soul Junction, as we debut an album from Mickey Murray that was so scarcely distributed in the early 70s that we may as well call it brand new! Plus, we'll of course pay respect to Johnny Otis, Jimmy Castor, and Etta James, three recently departed soul legends, and get into some more fuzzy blues from Albert Collins and Freddie King.

The holiday season came to a close with a rocking Groove Food! reunion, so let's cool out with what my man Benge of Sex Fly calls "jazz burners." Sadly, Sam Rivers just passed, so we'll pay respects and we'll send DJ Lippy & DJ Bubbles off with some Texas funk. Plus, loads of heavy Fender Rhodes with Byard Lancaster's Sounds of Liberation, Lloyd McNeill's Washington Suite and Argentinian madness from Fernando Gelbard & Jorge Hector Lopez.

Hotter than wasabi.
The international groove is always welcome at Soul Junction, so I have a host of Japanese jazz and funk lined up, including Sadao Watanabe, Terumasa Hino, and of course, my man, Masabumi Kikuchi. Plus, a rare recording of Joe Henderson's storied tour of Japan (not the Milestone classic!) and J.J. Johnson & Nat Adderley's fabled Yokohama concert. AND, there will be electric Peanuts music from Vince Guaraldi, jazz funk from Hubert Laws, and more from the reissue that keeps on givin'...Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones' Sweetback!

Hot & Jumpy.
Soul Junction returns! We got a trio of great new international reissues from the always solid Secret Stash label, including impossible to find music from George Danquah, Tabou Combo and K. Frimpong. Plus, Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones' ultra-rare Sweetback LP was just remastered by Luv N'Haight records, which contains possibly the craziest guitar solo on wax, not to mention the equally elusive album from the The Melton Brothers. AND we'll have funky reggae from Studio One, electric jazz from Italy and new Nashville soul from DeRobert & The Half-Truths!
