Steve Reid...Thanks for everything

Having played with everyone from the likes of James Brown, Fela Kuti, Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, classics such as Martha &the Vandellas "Dancing in the Streets", and most recently alongside electronic producer Kieren Hebden aka Four tet, Steve has definitely gotten around and made his rhythmic mark in many circles and styles of music.

Get to Know: Nancy Dupree

Check out this great piece on Nancy Dupree over at Snore & Guzzle. If you are like me (before i read the interview) and ask "who is Nancy Dupree ?," this indepth article (complete with some audio samples) will more than answer your question. Im going to keep it mysterious like that, and of course you know we dont lead astray here.
