This is the week of April 22nd, 2006
We gave you a little appetizer of James Brown last week, but we know it wasn’t enough. This week, we’re serving up a whole buffett of J.B. For you hip-hop heads out there, we have six helpings of classic J.B. breakbeats. For the purists, original J.B. concoctions like "I Got You" and "Cold Sweat." And for those with a more adventurous palate, we have some spicy live versions, tasty remakes and exotic remixes. Pull up a chair, tuck a napkin in your shirt and dig in. It’s James Brown week at BoL.

It’s jazzy funk and funky jazz at BoL. We begin with three cuts from the undisputed King of Funk, the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. We end with three cuts featuring one of the leading lights of jazz, alto master Kenny Garrett. Rounding things out, a b-boy classic by German drummer George Kranz and the Roots’ cover of Kranz, featuring Philly drummer Ahmir ‘?uestlove’ Thompson.
