feelin under the weather this weekend, so just played a couple art blakey cuts. a few get a little crunchy, but hopefully it adds to the flavor.

Pullin from the Stacks Podast (Episode 4 - crunchy art blakey records)

A new monthly series of mixtapes, in which we invite First Word friends & family to lace us with a selection of their soulful favourites from across the board. For July's edition, we welcome DJ Sabor A Mi — the Sete-based selector known for weaving together rich, emotive sounds from all corners of the globe. On the mix, Sabor A Mi says:

“This mix is a tribute to cultural mixing, and to all the connections it makes through music and its history. The selection has a guideline that is established in Afro-Latin rhythms, but crosses the Caribbean and the eras. I recorded it in total improvisation, letting my soul and emotions speak for themselves in the hope of thrilling you. Enjoy”

Discotheque Tropicale Loves To Boogie

CoOp Presents with Alex Phountzi & IG Culture - 05 October 2025

Was recently in Chicago and had many record store adventures. One record that popped up in the cheap bins was something I'd been after, "Chicago Jazz Dance Revival at Gus Place" by the Johnny Frigo Quartet. Frigo and his various groups put out several records of "jazz dance music" for Gus Giordano in the late 60s and early 70s covering jazz, rock and funk tunes of the day. I've been slowly grabbing these albums over the years when I find them and figured now might be a moment to play a few selections on the podcast. Dig in!
