All Over the Map - Again!
I know that it's become a bit tiresome to describe these shows as all over the map, but how else can I call a show that goes from 1963 jazz to Brazillian (new and old), straight funk to mod classics, and jazz fusion to dub? There's all sorts of stuff in this show, and hopefully something you'll dig. Some of my highlights - Mingus' bass opening, the synth freakouts from Shades of Joy, the moment the tamborines come in in the December's Children track, and the incredible echoes from Dr. Alimantado. These are the moments that keep me listening to music!

Very nice show, tuning in for a while now. I was really digging that cover version of Edwin Starr's "War!" I'd really like to get my hands on that but couldn't understand what record label its on?
Thanks! And keep on keeping on!

Hi, the Edwin Starr cover is from an album called 'The Going's Great with Tomorrows Children' and it's on the London record label. The band is from Jamaica, so there's probably a Jamaican pressing out there somewhere, too.
