Got The Fever (http://gothefever.blogspot.com)
Kevin over at Got The Fever just picked up the 4-disc set of Blue Notes’ Blue Break Beats. As evidence of the jazzy grooves you can find on this set he presents Jimmy McGriff’s Blue Juice and Bobbi Humphrey’s Harlem River Drive both from the volume 1 disc.
Funky16Corners (http://funky16corners.wordpress.com)
We are glad to see that Larry (aka Funky16Corners), after spending a few days in the hospital last week, is back home now and on the road to recovery. Like a true music soldier though, he even dictated his November 3, 2006 message post to his wife from his hospital bed so his fans would be updated as to his whereabouts on his blog. Now that’s someone truly dedicated to the cause! Additionally, to celebrate his return (and the second anniversary of the Funky16Corners blog) he has posted the latest installment of Funky16Corners Radio, a jamming mix of some of his favorite tunes that he has presented for us this past year. REST UP LARRY AND GET 100% WELL SOON. And, of course, we are all looking forward to year 3 of Funky16Corners!

It’s a 4 song ep of reconstructed Miles Davis music. Very trippy and ambient stuff mixed by the legendary producer Bill Laswell.”

The “Boys” Are Back In Town…
Remember the Four Brothers Beats blog? Well, the boys are back! BUT... not quite in the way you may have been expecting. It's, how shall we say, "the same, but different!"

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect
Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
