Hey there
On todays show I will be continuing my series on the "roots of groove" focusing on funk all through the 70s. Hopefully I'll help you discover some great stuff you've never heard before. Are you ready to feel the funk?!?

3/2 Tales though GrOoVeS.. Acid Jazz of the 90s
Posted on 03/02/2010 by Alex Hartley
Ayp my loyal listeners,
On todays show I will be continuing my backwards journey to find the roots of groove..
All the music featured today is from the 90s and mainly in the genre of acid jazz..
What is Acid Jazz?? Well it started in Great Britain and fused jazz with electronica, funk, and hip hop. Listen... and you will learn..
Have any suggestions for future shows?
Hit me up at ahartley@berklee.net with any ideas.
Thanks and enjoy!
Keep on groovin'
Peace
Alex

12/15 Vinyl Grooves: Special Edition of Groove
Posted on 12/15/2009 by Alex Hartley
For my last edition of Groove for the semester I thought I would try something a little different. So I will be disregarding technology and going back to the way radio was done in the 60s and 70s with all vinyl records. It's an experiment and challenge for me, I hope you will enjoy!
