Mixes, Music

Darkest Light (jazz/funk/soul mix)

And now for something completely different……

This is a selection of jazz, soul, funk, reggae and some African music, from the 1960s and 70s. A lot of it has quite a spiritual or bluesy feel but there’s also a strong sense of groove present throughout.
