Focus on TERRIFIC Soundway label, lead up to JazzFest, and randomness.
Today's mis-adventure spends much of the program on an AMAZING record label -- Soundway Records. I have been mining this heavily lately, and found many, many happy surprises. So, let's have a listen!
"
Soundway Records is a British-based independant record label founded and run by English DJ and music producer Miles Cleret. It started in 2002 with the release of a compilation of Ghanaian music from the 1970s : ''Ghana Sounds: Afrobeat, Funk & Fusion in '70s Ghana''.

We'll spin multiple tracks from a healthy sampling of Soundway's broad musical map, so y'all can get a feel for the recordings.
