New stuff from Laura Jurd, Liz Vice, Aki Rissanen, Zé Ibarra, Laufey, Lophae, Roger Glenn, Noura Mint Seymali (pictured), Kenny Dope (Ft. Róisín Murphy) (which led into some classic Talking Heads) as well as remembering some truly great musicians who passed on recently leaving their own unique legacies: multi Grammy award winning Latin Jazz and Salsa pianist, bandleader, composer and innovator, Eddie Palmieri; edge of the seat musical adventurer and vocalist supreme, Terry Reid; major proponent of Tejano Conjunto / Tex Mex, 6 time Grammy award winning accordionist Flaco Jimenez – probably best known for his work alongside Ry Cooder. And more!
