I confess ignorance to the work of Horace Parlan. He’s a hard-bop pianist who swings wonderfully.

[Music] No Pigeonholes on Radio On January 2016 Big City Orchestra Special
For me, Don Campau was a leading light for cassette music and underground experimental sound. It’s great to hear that he’s got a radio show in Berlin playing some incredible music.
[Music] Else Marie Pade – Etude I (1962)
Though she wasn’t quite as famous as David Bowie, Lemmy or Glenn Frey, Else Marie Pade’s loss does damage to the electroacoustic community, as she had collaborated with some of the field’s giants. RIP.
[Music] Refugee Project Band – The Streets Without Names
Unfortunately, there’s no embedding capability for my friend Zdenko Colic’s music, but if you like shoegaze and rock combined, this may be worth checking out.
[Music] Jorge Ben – Força Bruta – 1970 (Full Album Completo)
There are so many incredible Brazilian artists, but for some reason Jorge Ben (Jor) is among my favorites. It’s his voice and the gentle samba rhythm that sets him a notch above many others.
[Music] Melodiya Ensemble – Vashi Lyubimye Pesni Igraet
Funky Jazz from the house band of the Soviet state record label, the Melodiya Ensemble. There’s almost no info on the band, but there is an article on Soviet Funk, so enjoy.
[Music] Psarantonis – Prayers
Wonderfully heavy Greek music by Cretan singer Antonis Xylouris, who records under the name of Psarantonis.
[Music] Wagon Christ – Chicken For Kitty
Precisely what the doctor ordered for such a dark, gloomy day outside. Luke Vibert (Mr. Wagon Christ himself) offers up some dark, jazzy down-tempo music to enjoy.
[Music] Alexei Aigui & Ensemble 4’33” – 2015
New music from Alexei Aigui, performed by the Ad Libitum Orchestra in Paris, France.
