DJ Grizz- Willie Bobo Mix

Something for all you Jazz Funk fans out there... a mix dedicated to percussionist extraordinaire Willie Bobo. Willie's best known for both his latin boogaloo sound in the late 60's and for some seriously good jazz-funk in late 70's and early 80's. Unfortunately he was taken from us in 1983, I'm sure depriving us of some more jazz funk gems.

The mix includes both jazz and dancefloor classics such as Keep that same old feelin', Always there, Comin' over me, Palos, and Dindi plus much more.

Back next Sunday but more music to come before then.
