    Pullin from the Stacks - John Coltrane 100th Birthday Dedication

    Bought my first John Coltrane album in 1997 at one of the old St. Marks record stores that's long gone, haven't looked back. Hard to write words to describe the beauty in the music. Several years ago I grabbed a Japanese box set of Coltrane tunes that came with a brief interview with the legend himself on bonus 45. I've included a clip here, but you can listen to the full recording on my Soundcloud. Salute!

    Pullin from the Stacks - Brian Auger Favorites

    Brian Auger's "Closer to It" LP was one of the first records and first breakbeats I copped long ago, and his version of Eugene McDaniels' "Compared to What" on there remains a favorite. I bought most of these records many, many years ago - mainly for samples, but over the years I've come to really dig into the songs and music themselves. The living legend is still out there making music today, and it felt important to put together a small tribute to his work, a few days from his 87th birthday. Salute!

    Pullin from the Stacks - Thank You Abdullah Ibrahim!

    One of my all time favorite musicians has moved on - Abdullah Ibrahim aka Dollar Brand, South African legend, whose tunes fueled the anti-apartheid movement. This tribute is long overdue since I have played his records consistently over many years. Truly majestic and inspirational music. These are just a couple of my favorites. Tracklist: Mannenberg, Bra Joe from Killamanjaro, Liberation Dance, Sathima, Ishmael
