How It Went Down - December 10, 2010

A busy show that was supposed to be busier. The Afterbeat (who are holding a CD release party this Saturday, December 18th, for their self-titled record) didn't end up making it down to the station, but I was still joined in studio by Gareth Williams of True Hussars who played some new material due out early 2011, and by drummer Curtis Nowosad and Ismaila Alfa of Magnum KI to talk about their performance as part of the Jazz Winnipeg Nu Sounds Series. Good times talking about the intersections between jazz and hip-hop.

This Friday, the 17th, I'll be joined by some long-time favourite guests: Christopher Samms (formerly of Tigerrr Beat and soon-to-be-formerly-of Not Animals, since we'll be talking about NA's last show) and Birdapres, who'll be bringing in his brand-new album and some choice finds on wax to regale us with.
