Little Bit of Soul Episode May 30, 2016

From the Roots

4:02pm - 5:03pm

The foundation of this episode is the Ghanian Rhythms which we begin with at the top of the hour. Authentic sounds of Ghanian music then morph into the more popular music of C.K Mann & His Carousels where underneath the popular funky jams are the roots of the songs sound. We travel over to listening to Miles Davis who, again, is playing with the next steps in jazz when mixing the rock beat of 4/4 time into a more traditional jazz sound; this is where we find 'fusion'. Moe Koffman sends us into orbit with compositions from his record 'Solar Explorations' and we end the show with a Doo-Wop Quintet bidding us farewall.
