What are you spinning now? Mark 27

Strange how darkness can make you feel lighter at times.

Spinning this one again because I was interrupted to run errands . . . . It’s so good.

Ms Cohen’s playing on tenor and clarinet is excellent.

Duduka Du Fonseca “Samba-Jazz-Jazz Samba”

These Tiny Desk concerts are the new ages MTV Unplugged sets. I’m lucky enough to have a copy of Fred Again’s Tiny Desk efforts. Not only are the performances astoundingly good, but the recordings are pretty exceptional too.

I’m hoping to one day have Doechii, H.E.R. and Alicia Keys performances on wax as well as well as many others.
