I thoroughly enjoyed that 'samples' set, as with the exception of Madlib I hadn't heard any of those tunes. Your show is reminding me how groovy and great these guys are, right up there with the AACM.

Thanks for letting me know, Manmohan. Sometimes it's apt to stick to the OGs, but I like to demonstrate the influence and how this music lives on...
