Falsetto reggae from The Wailers, Cornell Campbell, Horace Andy & Tappa Zukie, Mighty Diamonds, Gregory Isaacs and Bunny Wailer starts off the week. Classic and new jazz from Afro-Greek chanteuse Elizabeth Kontomonu  wraps up the week. Something old, something new.

NEWS ALERT: Breath of Life now starts on Sunday midnight (meaning early Monday morning). Schedule changes have made it necessary for us to turn over on Sunday midnight rather than on Saturday midnight. Everything else remains the same. Classics this week are by Jimi Hendrix on the soft side. Contemporary African vocals from Gerald Toto, Richard Bona, and Lokua Kanza plus four Cover versions (Etta James, Gabrielle Goodman, Imani and Patti Austin) of Jevetta Steele‘s "Calling You." Give thanx.

Woman song this week. Zap Mama and Les Nubians. African expression filtered through European and American languages and influences. Over two hours of simply beautiful music.

We kick the week off with drummers Art Blakey, Max Roach and Elvin Jones. We follow up on Cuba’s Telmary Diaz who has a new album. We conclude with blues men Sunnyland Slim, Leroy Carr, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Rushing all doing "train" songs.
