Breakdown: November 24th on KPFK’s Melting Pot

Been a really long time since we did one of these vinyl only shows, so it was my pleasure to pack a big bag of vinyl and saunter down to KPFK. Was able to throw on a few things I haven’t played for y’all yet, including a real choice number from Hopeton Lewis, Ame Son, Barry Goldberg, Silvinha and Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra (somehow the left channel didn’t come through on that one…all apologies). The last Sunday in November is always special because of our tradition of paying tribute to one of my musical heroes, Jimi Hendrix, whose birthday is Nov. 27th. For this year’s tribute we just focused on tracks recorded live from Jimi and so far, after 4 of these tributes, we still haven’t repeated ourselves, though as ever I’m gonna need more vinyl to keep that from happening next year. Hope you enjoy the show, we’ll be back with more new music next week.
