Duration: 52 min 18 s
Description: The third in my series of tributes to legendary (and living) pianists: Ramsey Lewis! So many decades of music, beginning with long-running trios and then evolving and incorporating all variety of styles, instruments and sounds. Only could include a few favorites here, but listening to his records takes me back to the very beginnings of my crate-digging obsessions. Hope you enjoy.

World Cup is now underway. Brasil's first game is Thursday. I don't enjoy the WC. For me, it's a month of suffering that only ends well if Brasil lifts the cup at the end. I've been fortunate enough to experience that twice in my lifetime (94 and 02). The other WCs have lead to heartbreak and depression for a few days. Brasil is a favorite to win every WC per usual. However, being a favorite and lifting the copa are two different things.

This isn't a WC mix, but there are drops from the 70 WC because Brasil 70 is considered the greatest team ever. Mix is actually inspired by Quasimoto. With Adventures of Quas; Madlib basically made an album mixing his favorite things; records, Sun Ra, and Melvin Van Pebbles. I took the same basic elements and added my favorite thing; Brasil futbol. Enjoy

Back at it with a bunch of new digs! Starting this set off with a few pieces that just dropped into the PO box from Cuba, then moving into some private press jazz that I just scooped up in Portland, ending with a classic from the master Herbie Hancock. Enjoy!
