Forgive me the moderate delay in posting a mix for this month, and just know that the delay is solely due to indecision rather than procrastination. Not sure if others will identify with these tracks as much as I do - many are familiar to me after use as hip-hop samples, and a good deal of credit for the selections should go to Hip Hop Is Read and This Is Hip Hop for the coursework. I don't think I've posted any of these artists on any other mixes, but then again, I don't think I've had [...]
Jimmy McGriff, "All About My Girl"
I know how much you guys love having gig flyers blasted in your face so I have MORE for you - thank the lord! Next Saturday (October 1st) we're doing a One Night Stand with Canyons playing all night at our super rad warehouse. I really cannot wait for this one, so keen to get weird with it. The weather keeps getting better and the vibes they are a'flowin. Get on it :))) Got a bunch of things I'm saving for a Delishcast next week [...]

The first Christmas soul mix was very popular. Thank you to all the kind people who took the time to say nice things about it (and about my efforts here in general). Comments are always appreciated. As I pointed out in the blurb for the first mix, I held back a lot of great stuff for the follow-up. So this one might be even better than the first compilation. You be the judge of that. Be advised that in this batch are a couple of tracks that might not appeal to your mother: Rufus Thomas (Carla's [...]

(Editor's Note: This comes from Matt Rogers, one of the contributing editors at Wax Poetics and someone who I thought could do an excellent retrospective on the late Jimmy McGriff (who we lost earlier this year). With his death, alongside that of Jack McDuff and Jimmy Smith, one of the greatest sets of jazz organists to ever come through are now gone. Rogers pays proper tribute to one of those masters. --O.W.) Written by Matt Rogers: "This is what we call the love instrument," Jimmy McGriff said to me once during an interview for this [...]
I know it's shown its face here before, but what a perfectly apt title to quilt the heartbreaking defeat of the NHL's most fellated team ...and right in front of their own fellated fans, no less. Detroit Cobras - It's Raining Injury to insult: Pharcyde - Ya Mama (Matt Dike Remix) Ah, loss. So fun to celebrate. Nice work, Wings. Not that victory itself can't be just [...]
It was Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest who turned me on to legendary organist Jimmy McGriff , when I interviewed Tip for an article I wrote in Option Magazine many years ago. "My pops turned me on to McGriff," the Quester told me and who the legendary hip-hoppers sampled on "God Lives Through" from Midnight Marauders. Quest were not alone in their use of McGriff's music; KRS-One and Cypress Hill were a couple more who sampled his work. McGriff was born right here in Philly, in [...]

Jimmy McGriff: Dig On It and The Now Thing From: Soul Sugar [Capitol, 1971] Oh, hey, how you doing? Apologies to all of you who have been clicking here to get a music fix and instead been offered lotions for unsightly pimples but, as is the way with all matters electronic, things took a little longer than planned to resolve (there's nothing like trying to fax photocopies of birth certificates to foreign countries to brighten up your office day). There are actually [...]
