And we're back with a fresh new name, but the same funky vinyl
grooves you've come to expect on Wednesday nights. The long hiatus
means we're bursting at the seams with new jams to bring your way.
Let's check out Secret Stash Records latest excavation, Peter King's African Dialects and a new one from Lance Ferguson, the leader of The Bamboos from Australia, as he makes a foray into spiritual jazz with his new band, Menagerie. Plus, the debut of an unreleased album from Kenny Cox on the legendary Strata label and some music from Light in the Attic's incredible Marcos Valle reissue series.

Keyboard heavy grooves goin' down at the Junction Wednesday night. The Greg Foat Group returns with another great analogue recording and it's just as great as last year's debut! Plus, we learned about Dave Brubeck's passing
just before leaving for last week's show, so let's pay proper tribute
to a true legend in jazz. And the usual vinyl-only madness will ensue,
including scores from the Philadelphia Record Riot...see you then!

Power of Soul.
Stop by the Junction Wednesday night for some great new vinyl grooves. Out of nowhere, the Greg Foat Group returns with an EP close on the heels of last year's now classic release and in anticipation of a full length coming out in the next two weeks. But that's not all! The Menahan Street Band just released their 2nd album, Finnish reedman Timo Lassy's got a new one, and we'll spin the soundtrack to Searching for Sugarman, a documentary about the enigmatic folk/funk of the elusive Rodriguez. Plus, a batch of Hendrix covers celebrating the man's 70th birthday!

Dig the vinyl grooves of the Junction Wednesday night. Got more from the excellent Tim Maia compilation from Luakabop, this time centering on his UFO cult years (!!!), plus more from the surprisingly satisfying Story of Roy Porter Sound Machine from Germany's Tramp records.
And a mix of Brazilian inspired madness, including Maia's nephew, Ed
Motta, spare Rhodes from Adam Makowicz and a loooong one from Isaac
Hayes, backed by the Bar-Kays!

And we're back, cleansed of all sin, but still packing some dirty grooves. Dig the Junction Wednesday night for the debut of Michael Kiwanuka's excellent new LP, which came out in January, but only recently got a U.S. vinyl release. Plus, late 70s sweetness from Leo's Sunshipp, percussion heavy grooves from Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band, and more from volume 3 of the great Spiritual Jazz series from Jazzman Records!

Diggin' deep at the Junction Wednesday night. Still more to hear from the new Antibalas & the electric Denson/Soulive tribute to Melvin Sparks, plus the debut of a tribute album from a group that goes by Spectrum Road , paying respects to the Tony Williams Lifetime and featuring Vernon Reid & Jack Bruce. And heavy sounds from Phil Woods & his European Rhythm Machine, Kingston influenced grooves from a long sought after MPS side from Monty Alexander & Ernest Ranglin, and an opening set for my dad, who would've turned 71 today.

Blame James Mason 'cause we're still in a sweet '70s groove at the
Junction. We'll hear yet another great track from Mason's impossibly
rare but recently reissued opus, Rhythm of Life, in addition to some other great tracks in the same vein from Miroslav Vitous & Matthew Larkin Cassell. Plus, heavy sounds from Woody Shaw and fonky flute from Jeremy Steig and a happy birthday to Jerry Garcia via Merl Saunders, all spun on 100% vinyl...natch.

Rhythm of life.
Make a stop at the Junction tonight for 100% vinyl funkiness. Two
weeks off means we are brimming with new releases to bring your way.
Get ready for a new one from the Filthy Six,
an album that pays homage to the classic Blue Note/Prestige organ funk
albums of the late '60s. Plus, a fantastic reissue of the ultra-rare Ron Forella...Moves! 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!

Just in time for Father's Day, Honest Jon's drops the first ever collaboration of Sun Ra alum Kelan Philip Cohran and his sons' globe trottin' Hypnotic Brass Ensemble!
Got a great eclectic set coming, highlighted by the likes of the
Kelenkye Band, Piotr Fiegel, and a smoker by Johnny "Hammond" Smith.
Plus, after losing my copy of the 2nd volume of Jazzman's Spiritual Jazz comp to thieves, I've finally been able to track down another copy. Dig it Wednesday night.

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.

Mixed Bag.
We are happy to report that records stores were at capacity for Record Store Day 2012. Stop at the Junction Wednesday night for a few Record Store Day exclusive releases, including unreleased Miles Davis (the marathon looms!) and the first ever official release from the Mynah Birds (Rick James & Neil Young...together at last!). Plus, genius from Allan Toussaint, psych-funk from Kool & Together and spiritual jazz from Azanyah
(recorded in 1987!). And no, we're not done with the electric piano
Eddie Russ yet...in fact, got a whole set lined up: solo, on that fresh new reissue with the Mixed Bag and another jam with Sonny Stitt!
