Caucasoid blues done expertly by the supergroup of Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper and Steve Stills, all legends in their respective fields.

[Music] The Montgomery Brothers – Snowfall
Mellow. Of course, everyone who loves jazz guitar will be familiar with the work of Wes Montgomery. What came as a surprise to me is that he had brothers who were remarkable instrumentalists in their own right.
The lineup for this recording:
Buddy Montgomery – Vibraphone
Wes Montgomery – Guitar
Monk Montgomery – Bass
Paul Humphrey – Drums
[Music] Los Locos del Ritmo – Malagueña Salerosa
Malagueña Salerosa is a Son Huastengo song from Mexico, covered expertly by Mexican garage rock legends Los Locos Del Ritmo.
[Music] Pink Floyd – The Piper At The Gates of Dawn (Mono)
It’s quite an experience to hear Pink Floyd’s brilliant first album in a mono mix. The remastering job is incredible, even though this video doesn’t do full justice to just how clear the CDs themselves actually sound.
[Music] Usnija Redžepova – Kazuj krčmo džerimo
The Macedonian Gypsy singer Usnija Redžepova passed away today at the age of 69. I cannot say if she is related to her fellow Gypsy countrywoman, Esma, but when Usnija was young, she looked like Monica Belluci fronting a Roma band. RIP.
[Music] Gianni Ferrio – Il Killer (Shake)
Some happy beat music from Italian conductor and arranger Gianni Ferrio!
[Music] Q65 – Night
Dutch psychedelic band Q65 were a band I discovered reading magazines like Record Collector, who hyped them up as a band with a monstrous reputation. They were, and to my ears, are, among the best bands of the late 1960s.
[Music] Lily Pons – The Echo Song
The Franco-Italian opera singer Lily Pons was a staple at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, as well as on television during the 1950s.
[Music] Irma Thomas – Time Is On My Side
Though The Rolling Stones‘ version is more famous, this version by Irma Thomas packs quite a whallop!
[Music] Tony Allen – African Message
A lot of press covering Nigerian music rightfully goes to Fela Kuti, yet he’s not the only innovative figure to gain international fame. His percussionist, Tony Allen, has spent a good part of five decades making music which was influenced by funk and jazz as well as Highlife. The Afrobeat sound he was instrumental in creating continues to inspire musicians like Brian Eno and Blur’s Damon Albarn.
