Back with our first “new” show for April, with a fair amount of new releases, including work from the Heliocentrics, Nicole Willis & the Soul Investigators, Ghostface Killah & Adrian Younge, Amatorski, Toddla T Sound (slightly edited by yours truly), Dandy Teru, Lady and Mark Kozelek paying tribute to Jason Molina. we also have classic material from the dearly departed Jason Molina in addition to Nation of Ulysses, David Axelrod, Fab 5 Freddy and we began with a couple of songs from my favorite trumpet player of all time, Booker Little, a few days removed from what would have been his 75th birthday. Hoping to have a few surprises and special treats in the coming weeks, we’ll see if things come to bear as hoped soon enough. Until the enjoy the show!
