This Island Earth
Sunday August 27th, 2017 with PeterB
Featuring 'Remember Shakti', part 2 -- a priceless piece of Indo-Jazz fusion. Plus, piano + Middle-Eastern fusions, to neo-classical, to Afro-beats, to Malian rap. IT'LL BE AWESOME!
For today's This Island Earth mis-adventure, we are featuring part 2 of 'Remember Shakti' -- John McLaughlin & Zakir Hussain driven Indo-jazz fusions. JUST AMAZING! We'll play the entire disc 2.
We will also wander from piano-driven and Middle Eastern via India powered jazz, to world-ish neo-classical, to early Rastafarian beats, Rio noise, to... Fasten your seat belts.
Please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!
