Hey, it's Memorial Day weekend, so I assume most of you aren't here. I guess I'll be chatting with some of our playas' from Europe and that New Zealander Steve. Damn, that came out like I'm hatin' on Razzballs good buddy Steve. Sorry Steve, we miss you. With this title you might think I'm going to play a bunch of jazz tunes and that would be the most logical place to go, but not in the stream of confusion of my mind. Of course I started with Dizzy from one of my favorite jazz albums, but then my mind took an odd turn to Herbie Hancock and how this song changed a lot of musical perspectives for me. After absorbing all of that I fell deeper into the funk and the brilliance of the godfather of soul's backing band (now there is some dancing I want to see come back). Oh, that sweet sweet soul music from the Baby H to the contemporary Charles Bradley and Lee Fields. Now along the way, I had the local LA underground hiphop scene to deliver rare gems like the Breakestra, and speaking of hip-hop, I have to wonder what the world would be like without Herbie Hancock. Now, you might be asking yourself what this has to do with todays creeper or top 100, and all I can say is my mind is a place and I'm letting you step in it for a few. I also know you guys like talking about music so WTFN.
