Pullin from the Stacks

For episode 75 I had to bring in a very special guest - my close friend, the incredible vinyl selector DJ Center. Don't ever miss a chance to witness Center spin a gig - whether at the club, the lounge, the charity event, or anywhere else - and don't sleep on his production or mixes either. Center and I share a deep love of jazz music and so I thought it would be dope to have him bring some of his favorites over for the podcast. Of course he showed up with more records than we had time to play, but he focused in and delivered some really high quality flavors that are perfect for this episode. I also got a short interview in with him afterword. Don't sleep! You can check him on IG, FB and everywhere else as well as his website, http://pushthefader.com

Tracklist: 

DJ Center: John Coltrane, Samba Lanca Trio, Ahmad Jamal, Vladimir, Mike Longo, Robert Watson, Lester Sterling, Soul Jazz Orchestra, [Redacted], Anthony Williams 

DJ Ian Head: Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Ill Considered
