Resident DJ Sid Ford in the booth this week with a session chock full of funky flute and drum action. First up, Lloyd McNeill leads a heavyweight line up on the excellent ‘Griot’ before Jeremy Steig let’s rip on the stunning soul-jazz piece, ‘Mint Tea’. Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers slow the mood a bit before we get a little ‘Spinning Wheel’ from funky German trio Catch Up. We head to the dance floor with the classic ‘Milestones’ from the Herbie Hancock Trio, before Charlie Rouse and The Afro Soultet funk things up a little, and the masterful Tubby Hayes gives us ‘Finky Minky’. Phil Upchurch hits us with some solid guitar led grooves, Kathryn Moses gives up more up-tempo sounds with ‘Lucky Duck’ before Ronald Snijders rounds off the mix with some Latin inflected ‘Latinetta‘. Thanks for listening.
