LP, which was originally created to accompany a NYC dance troupe performance.  But, best of all, James Mason's impossibly scarce masterpiece, Rhythm of Life, was just reissued by a Japan's Shout label, and since I never thought I'd come across a copy, let me tell you, it was worth the wait!  Come on in!

What the world needs now.

Finally!  As promised, the Sugarman 3 and Hilton Felton lps have arrived and have been replaced, respectively, so it's time for Junction debuts!  Plus, we'll check out some releases and artists from classic late NYC funk labels like Daptone, Desco, Truth & Soul and Soul Fire, all of whom were instrumental in bringing deep funk and classic soul back to the people.   And we'll drop the needle on the rarest CTI record of them all, groove to some heavy funk from Mandrill and dig an outtake from that great Mickey Murray reissue from Secret Stash.  A funky good time!

A man for all reasons.

Had a couple new LPs lined up for you tonight, but one arrived warped and the other didn't arrive at all.  Still, I'll bring you a couple of tracks from the intended artists, including Hilton Felton and The Sugarman 3, with hopes of both making their debuts next week. Plus, it's Miles Davis' 86th birthday this weekend, and though we're saving the marathon for another time, we still have some classics and rarities pulled.  And the usual vinyl-only madness will ensue with music from Fugi (backed by Black Merda!), hose-a-phone from Owen Marshall, and more from Kool & Together!

The naked truth.

Sweet grooves stopping by the Junction Wednesday night...so you should too!  I still can't stop listening to the amazing rediscovery of Azanyah by the deep diggin' folks over at Jazzman Records, so let's check that out, plus yet another wild Jazzman reissue from multi-instrumentalist Owen Marshall.  Sadly, Stax session legend and (almost) original M.G. Donald "Duck" Dunn passed away this week, so of course we'll pay respects.  But it's not all bad news!  We also got a sweet mix of percussion and keys on a new album from Jessica Lauren...and electric piano from Romano Mussolini (son of Benito!), 'Nawlins soul from Allen Toussaint, and one more for MCA because we ran out of time last week.  (ed note: it turned into three)

The one.

See you at The Junction Wednesday night two hours of deep vinyl only cuts.  Last week we debuted Jazzman Records' most recent excavation, Azanyah's The One, a record you slept on in 1987 because you were too busy frontin' to Yo! Bum Rush the Show or dancing awkwardly to George Michael's "Faith." (note:  I was the latter).  Got a couple tracks to bring to your way from this excellent slice of spiritual jazz, plus some more jazz burners from such luminaries as Klaus Doldinger, Nathan Davis and The Sun Ra Arkestra performing in Egypt...with Salah Ragab!   Tight.

Give the drummer some.

A great night of music ahead on Soul Junction, as local drummer and composer Dan Capecchi of Shot X Shot joins us live in the studio.  A drum heavy night looms, featuring music by Tony Williams, Ornette Coleman, Manfred Schoof, and The Exploding Star Orchestra.  Plus, a solo by Dom Um Romao that has to be heard to be believed!  Sadly, we will also pay tribute to the legendary Paul Motian, who passed away last week.

Switched on.

Tune in to Soul Junction tonight for a melting pot of fuzzy, funky sounds, including music from such diverse luminaries as Les McCann, Compost, Horacee Arnold and Black Merda.  Plus, we'll debut the moogy new release from producer Mr. Chop, which also features Soul Junction favorite Malcolm Catto on traps (a double 10 inch no less!).  And since we only heard instrumental Donny Hathaway during last week's live soul party, let's bookend the show with the voice of a true legend.
