Playlist 13.03.2011: funk & soul extravaganza!

Somewhat inspired by a few tweets and facebook-postings Tegentonen kinda got inspired last night. We played a lot of funk & soul. Vintage, new, black, white... It's all good. Classics/rarities from the likes of Timothy McNealy, Bola Johnson, The Meters, Tom Scott and David Axelrod mixed up with modern artists like Mayer Hawthorne, Lefties Soul Connection, The Roots and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings.

Man, we really had a blast. We had to ditch some stuff we had planned to play for you, because we were running short on time. So, no Lee Fields, Miles Davis, Booker T. & The MG's and a few others, but since we had so much fun doing this, I'll guess these will pop up in a future episode. We'll do this again soon...
