Last week was pure loveliness. As the collective "aahhhhh" of November 4
soaks into the global consciousness, Afro Funke' just keeps on bringing it to you.
Chris Annibell from Afrokinetic in NYC came through with a stunning set of Afro rarities.
It was so wonderful to finally have him in the room!! We also celebrated the release of the
new "Soul Men" CD which is smokin!
This week we welcome back more of our brothers from the east plus a listening party
for an absolutely beautiful new jazz classic with lots of giveaways.....

ROY HARGROVE
LISTENING PARTY
9-10pm / giveaways!
Despite his many forays into funk and neo-soul the trumpeter Roy Hargrove has kept his hard-bop bearings.
There are a number of possible reasons to suspect him of a conservative streak, and “Earfood,” his new album,
lays out a few for inspection.
The sound of the record, bright and crisp, attests to a classic jazz ideal. Then there’s the feel of a tightly
bonded group that keeps its hierarchy clear. And in the liner notes Mr. Hargrove declares that he aims to
please, with simple melodies and a product “steeped in tradition and sophistication.” He has a secondary
title for the album, “Sound Nutrition,” indicating that this stuff is also supposed to be good for you.
