Pullin from the Stacks

Just fifty favorite records of mine that I happen to own in vinyl in no particular order. Mostly 90s 'backpacker' type stuff - it's a reflection of when I was collecting at the time, and doesn't necessarily represent all my favorite artists or favorite songs, many of which never were released on vinyl. I've never made a mix this long, and admittedly I ended up doing it in three separate parts. There was no real planning besides making sure I played 50 different records. Hope you dig it!

Back after being absent for too long. Too much going on in my life and the world to put one of these together, but am trying to get back on track. This is a sample of the various records I've been stacking up in the meantime - hope you dig it! Tracklist: Adam Makowicz Unit, Frankie Ortega, Frank Cunimondo Trio, Don Elliot, Johnny Lewis Quartet, Nancy Priddy, Roy Meriwether, Frank Emilio, Round House, Neil Ardley, Galapagos Duck

Hard to put a mix together right now with what's happening in Palestine. Sending love to everyone fighting against apartheid and to FREE PALESTINE! Here's a few low key tunes for when you need a break from the madness, if you're able to take one.

Decided it was worth pulling from my small stack of 10-inch size jazz vinyl for a variety of jazz cuts and styles. Enjoy! Tracklist: Nicola Conte, Cal Tjader, Music De Wolfe, Amanda Whiting, Jancsi Korossy, Johnny-Cretu Raducanu, Langston Hughes, Carol Kaye, Greg Foat, Randy Weston Trio

Been a hectic past month, but in-between it all I've picked up a few things here and there. Lots of 7inch heat on this one! Enjoy. Tracklist: Armand Boatman Trio, The Kanpai Quartet, Frollen Music Library, Aesthetic, Nautilus, Timo Lassy, Release Music Orchestra

This dedication mix is long overdue. In 1996, my friend Dave played me Journey to Satchidanada and I was blown away. A year or two later, I recovered a weathered copy of the record from a book and record store on East 7th Street in Manhattan while digging around with the same friend and it became a prized possession...

This week I threw together one more summer mix of just a few records I don't play often enough. Big Nicola Conte vibes on this one, which some great, upbeat jazz-house-ish flavors! Enjoy.

Was traveling last week but came home with a stack of goodies. Here's a few new and old soulful cuts to play on a hot August day! Enjoy, and don't forget to subscribe on Apple or elsewhere if you can! Tracklist: Soul Surfers, Loving Cup, Tamba Trio, Maria Bethania Viana, Henry Mancini, Upp, De Vonne Armstrong, Patterns in Sound

I'm by no means super deep on Brazilian jazz, but figured it was a good time to play a few favorites! This is a mix of mostly Brazilian legends with one or two covers of Brazilian classics played by U.S. artists sprinkled in. Enjoy! Tracklist: Baden Powell, Dom Salvator, Tania Maria, Dom Um Romao, Joao Donato, Tamba Trio, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Manfredo Fest, Azymuth, Moacir Santos, Deodato, Sergio Mendes, Freddie Roach

It's hot out here! Hope everyone is staying cool in this climate change madness. Here's some salsa-related tunes to rock with the windows down or the AC blowing.
