Selecta Live "Remixes, Edits, Blends (Oh My!)" Twitch Session-September 25 2021

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

Pre "J.T" 70s Kool & The Gang is one of the seminal funk outfits that would later inspire a generation of hip hop producers and musicians.  As a tribute to co-founder Ronald Bell who recently passed, Raj Mahal spins some of his favorite classic and obscure funky Kool joints with a few covers thrown in for good measure.
