Notes from "Fifteen Feet and In"

Alright, alright, a little late with the playlist today, but here it is. So, check these cuts out...Damn, it was cold out this morning...

My tips from the show...Pick up the Wayne Jarrett Showcase Vol. 1. It's a very chill reggae collection that can be played at any time. Very good re-release from Wackie Records. Pick it up in your local underground music shop. 6 Cuts that are well worth their price.

I also liked the new 7" from Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings. She's coming to the Cat's Cradle on January 27, and you can bet your ass that I'll be there for that one. The group is out of Brooklyn, and I'm going to definitely try to show up at as many shows possible when she is playing in the NYC.

Also, "Shhh, Peaceful"...C'mon you had to like that cut with the cold that was out there...I have to admit that I wasn't a mid-sixties Miles guy until I was convinced by my good friend in San Francisco, Clark Richardson, to delve into it. Since my immersion three years ago, I've been comfortably placed into that period for life. That means...Yesss, you snobs in the listening library, "In A Silent Way" is an all-time Miles classic.

Also, we just picked up a nice two guard/small forward, William Graves, from Dudley High "Do or Die" in Greensboro...Public School at it's finest...I'm thrilled for this kid because his Pops me brought into the dealing with the "Big Life" by always putting me on the men's board for the after 5 teams at the Central Y in Greensboro...Yes, you had to have game for those...You raised a good one "Boo"....

Here's another good note for Carolina fans...'Boo' never loses...You know that's in the DNA...Welcome to the Hill, William Graves...Now go bust Greensboro Page's ass...

So, here we go with the list....
