A Summer night of Soul Jazz, Hard Bop and Funk

Click the play button to listen

It's hot. Its summer. Let's ease into the night with some hard bop & soul jazz from the classic era—Lee Morgan, Ray Bryant, Bunky Green, Leo Wright and the Freedom Sounds. We'll then electrify the sounds as we move into the '70s with Eddie Harris, Bobbi Humphrey, Sun Ra and Parliament. Eventually we'll end up in the here and now of cosmic funk with William Parker and Esperanza Spalding.
