This is the week of September 30th, 2007

The most popular, and some argue the greatest, jazz record ever: Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. Plus we have versions of Kind of Blue songs presented by Conrad Herwig, Ronny Jordan, Jon Hendricks, Archie Shepp, Russell Gunn, Doug Carn, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Steve Turre, Wynton Marsalis and Eve Cornelious. This is for the jazz heads—enjoy!

This is the week of September 23rd, 2007

This week we start off with Chocolate Milk, a Seventies New Orleans funk aggregation. Then we skip cross the pond to Spain and check out Concha Buika repping the new Afro-Spanish generation. Then we close with Pharoah Sanders, Build An Ark, Dwight Trible and Two Banks of Four. The richness of our diversity is in full effect.

This is the week of September 9th, 2007

Only two artists this week: Black Uhuru and Dee Dee Bridgewater. But we guarantee there is a wealth of musical diversity covered. We’re featuring everything from roots reggae and traditional African music from Mali, to straight up hardcore jazz and hip interpretations of French popular music. Don’t sleep, there’s a lot to peep with the selections this week. Enjoy.
