Jazz & Wordsmith Journey

DJ Jeannie Hopper has entered something of a blue note wormhole, bringing you selections by jazz musicians and wordsmiths from across as many decades as the genres allow. Newer tunes from Francisco Mela, Stanton Moore, Laurie Anderson and Samantha James stand alongside classics by Umar Bin Hassan, Open Thought's Baba Israel and Malika B & Dave Hucker. The cultural spacetime boundary is further breached with work from Trey feat. Eligh and Zimbabwe Legit, a group comprised of Akim Funk Buddah and his brother, along with more cross-generational tunes to upset your every notion of linear time.



With much gratitude to the labels behind these great artists: Ayva Records, Axiom, Concord Group, Hollywood Basic, Liondub International, Mother Tongues, Nonesuch, Om, Open Thought Music, Planet Earth and Virgin Records.
