After I finished recording this episode, I realized I'd played two records featuring Jorge Santana - one by his group Malo, and another with him as a guest with the Fania All-Stars. I looked him up and realized he had sadly passed away last spring. Rest in Power Jorge Santana! I hope everyone enjoys his guitar work on these tunes as well as the other tracks featured here.

Tracklist: JAB, Malo, Reuben Wilson, Rimshots, Fania All-Stars

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 163

An amazing record recently landed in my post office box, an absolute classic of an album I honestly never thought I’d see in person let alone get a copy of: Winston Mankunku Ngozi’s quartet masterpiece “Yakhal Inkomo” - I insist everyone at least take a listen to this on Spotify or elsewhere. On this episode I've included the title track to start off the set. There is also an excellent interview with South African jazz scholars Percy Mabandu, Kevin Davidson, Nduduzo Makhathini and Salim Washington discussing the importance of this recording, available at: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/yakhal-inkomo-a-south-african-masterpiece-at-fifty-winston-mankunku-ngozi-by-seton-hawkins

Anyway, I decided to partner it on this podcast with a few other horn-heavy selections. Hope you dig!

Tracklist: Mankunku Quartet, Azar Lawrence, Lee Morgan, Sahib Shihab, John Coltrane

Much appreciation to everyone who's tuned in the last six years! We made it to 150 episodes, way farther than I ever anticipated. Couldn't have gotten here without so many folks tuning in. Special shouts to Pipomixes and everyone else who's reposted episodes on the internets! Also big thanks to all the guest selectors the last fifty - DadBodRapPod, J. Rawls, Bruce Phillips, Evolve-One, DO77 and Waffles Hidalgo. So - I feel like every fifty episodes is a good time to pull the hip-hop rarities and b-sides out the crates. Here's another short stack of a few favorites of mine! Dig it.

Tracklist: 
Dirty Treats ft. Praverb the Wyse
Makeba Mooncycle ft. J. Sands
K-Otix
