likes his music well brewed, rich, with a deep and profound flavour.
Enjoy it with a twist of soul, a drop of funk and a spoonful of groove.
Check also the Soul Gramophon Session #6 on Mixcloud.

We especially love the groove between white and black funk’n’soul. This mix never gets old and reflects both sides beautifully. One standout track is “Work Song” by Pat Lundy, a groover that runs for over 7 minutes and blows you away. Another highlight is Tom Jones’ “Looking Out My Window” from 1968, and the movie track by Philip Lambro. Based on a true story, Lambro’s track details the daring 1964 theft of the J.P. Morgan jewel collection from New York’s American Museum of Natural History. Dubbed “The Greatest Jewel Heist of the 20th Century,” the robbers stole twenty-two precious gems, including the Star of India, the 100.32-carat de Long Ruby, and the 16.25-carat Eagle Diamond, all of which were too famous to sell.

Another great and underrated artist is Harvey Averne. He began playing in hotels in the Catskills after World War II. Averne won the first two Grammy awards in the newly formed Latin music category with his productions of classic Eddie Palmieri albums. He was also responsible for the first demo recordings of a youthful Madonna and for signing her to her first record deal.

Thanks for this mix by Cupatee Selecta alias Denis Rychner (Facebook).
