Joyousness
Orchestral, jazz, gospel, acoustic, soul, and disco - all packed into 30 minutes! It sounds too varied, but really, there's something that holds all these songs together - a kind of joyousness that I'm really feeling. You can hear it in Pharoah Sanders' voice, in the rolling gospel of Mary Lou Williams, and in the drums of Ginger Baker. There's also the new soul of Myron and E - and I have been jamming this track hard all summer. Check it out at Timmion records. The show also has a couple of tracks from 1981 - Rene & Angela with the deep groove, and Jewel with an absolutely phenomenal stringed disco track. I love playing this song out, because even if you don't know it (it's an obscure recording), you know it.
