Cal Tjader- Speak Low

Sunday Jazz Continues! check us out as we proceed and continue with this Father's Day  / Juneteenth conjunction!

The saga / struggle continues as we drop this good word and good music, we're rocking the function!

We're broadcasting live and direct from our remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta!

We were swerving out in those Atlanta streets earlier, spotted the Volkswagen Jetta trying to get away from the Dekalb Police, not the kind of energy that needed to be exhibited on Juneteenth! rode down Peachtree Street some wannabe rapper was making a video, truth be told he needs to let it go! somebody will understand a brotha!

We're at your service when we swerve with this, we just got back after walking through the dark but at least we weren't waiting!

I mentioned earlier Winston Churchill said if you're going through hell keep going so check out how we come through with no delaying!

We've got this classic jazz playing, coming through listening to Cal Tjader with a track called Speak Low!

We played a Melvin Sparks version earlier but Cal Tjader is adding a Latin Jazz twist to this! check the players and the track as we go for what we know!
