DJ Grizz- Wind Down Soul 10

Its a manic time of year with all the preparations and buying going on.... why not take time to chill out for half an hour? I've the perfect soundtrack... Wind Down Soul Vol. 10!

The selection of mellow Soul and Jazz starts with a Barry White version of an often covered 60's UK Folk song by Lesley Duncan, there's some wicked 70's Soul from Silk, a powerful late 60's ballad from John Parker, some laid back jazz-funk magic from Lonnie Liston Smith and a whole heap of other top Chill-out tracks from way back when to re-discover.

The musical Xmas season starts next week with all the boys on the blog with lots of quality Soul and more!

DJ Ridym - Rare Soul Mix 4

Modern versions coming from Monday Michiru with a latin jazz rendition of Sister Sledge's dance monster "thinking of you", Jazztronik doing a great job with Debarge's I like it and Djavan who's actually Brazilian but what the hell, the track's called Samurai, Stevie Wonder's on it and its a corker so its on the list!!

DJ Grizz- Sharon Jones

2016 has taken another great from us... the Funk -Soul goddess that is Ms Sharon Jones passed away yesterday! Together with her house band The Dapkings (and the Daptone record label) she did her utmost over the last decade or so to promote that old Funk and gritty Soul sound of yesteryear. Here's my mix of musical gratitude to her.

The tribute starts with a great Shuggie Otis cover, includes Nu-Funk anthems in How Long and Pick it Up, some first rate raw Soul in Somethings Changed and It Hurts to be Alone (a Bob Marley cover!) plus many more examples of the best in upfront Soul and Funk in an old school style.

Catch you soon Soul-lovers!

DJ Grizz- George Benson Mix

Another tribute mix today and its one of the great Jazz- Soul guitarists and vocalists of the 70's and 80's ... Mr George 'Bad' Benson. From his beginnings as a child guitar prodigy to his 60's Jazz recordings through to making some of the great Jazz-Funk and Soul LPs of the 70's and 80's he is still active today!

My favourites include On Broadway from the live Weekend in LA LP, You Can Do It - a collaboration with Nuyorcian Soul from just a few years ago, some great 80's Soul in Love X Love, The World is A Ghetto from the all time great 'In Flight' LP, a Benson anthem in Breezin', and ends on his sublime version of the LTD nugget Love Ballad... plus more George to enjoy.

Catch you real soon.
