Happy Fall Y'all! The leaves are in full array and well on their way to falling throughout the Northern hemisphere . . . and we’re also moving into the second centenary of my show, "Continuum, A Journey Through Jazz" - this being Episode 101. We are also another fall further towards a soul and jazz filled planet. Well, we're trying. I didn't want the centennial celebration in the last episode to end - so, I decided to take it another further, and continue on from where we were, with some upbeat jazz, soul, funk, groove and acid jazz that really put me in a good mood. I think it did for many others as well due to the response - thank you to those that shared it on Facebook and Twitter, and please continue to spread the love and repost it for all your friends to enjoy. So, since you seemed to dig the groove, I have blended some new new music with a few of my favorites from the past 20 years. To that end I have 23 songs on tap including cuts from Room56, Ralf Gum, Princess Freesia, Ahmed Sirour, Alliance Ethnik, Cycle, Visioneers, The Readymades, Action Figure Party, Adani & Wolf, Beanfield, Afro-Mystik, Afro Elements, The Cutler, Afterlife, Joey Negro & The Sunburst Band, Max Sedgley, Brand New Heavies, Carleen Anderson, Dominic Amato, Gerald Albright, Project Grand Slam, and Agatsuma. It's two hours to help you move, groove or chill - perfect for an Autumn drive by the way. I must admit that I created the show with just such a purpose on my mind. Please feel free to contact me with any thoughts, questions, ideas, complaints, conspiracy theories, or Halloween costume suggestions for my puppy. Please also share the show on Facebook and Retweet it on Twitter - and maybe drop me a line when you do? Agape y'all, J. Scott Fugate, "The Jazz Evangelist"
