It features my old band mate Ron Haynes (Trumpet) & me improvising, nothing rehearsed. I extended my favorite sections of the recording & came up with this

JDLP Saturday Mix 1.11.14 (Vocalo On WBEZ)

Here is the feature I did on Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream speech" rite around the time of the 50 year anniversary of the March on Washington. I talk about how it has been incorporated in to DJ sets & music. Richard Steele from WBEZ stops by to join the conversation, we try to trace it back to the very 1st DJ to play the speech over music, plus Miles Bonny reflects on the speech. I also feature an interview with the great Nina Simone talking about Dr. King and more. Plus an unreleased recording of Liquid Soul & I with our take on the speech. Enjoy. JDLP
