7:04 AM		Hamiet Bluiett Daddy Banks / Grandaddy Song Sankofa / Rear Garde Soul Note 2008 The amazing Bluiett, who lived many years in the St. Louis area, was one of the two greatest baritone saxophonists ever. (It should go without saying Harry Carney was the other one.)

7:44 AM		Combo Lulo Escuchen a Mamá (feat. Alba Ponce De Leon) N Neotropic Dream Names You Can Trust 2021 There are current and former members of Antibalas, the Skatalites, the Easy Star Allstars, and other great groups - this is pan-Caribbean music at a top level.
7:47 AM		Johnny Osbourne Love Comes and Goes Reggae Legends: Johnny Osbourne Greensleeves Records 2010 For a small island, Jamaica has given us a high proportion of excellent singers.

8:14 AM		Buffalo Killers Something Real Buffalo Killers Alive Records 2006 This record came out 16 years ago and I still think of them as a new band. Age messes with you like that.
