New music, old music, good music. You get all of that and more with Jim Bear from 3-5 PM on Neu-Matic. Playlist plays out below.

Tune in to Stepping Into Tomorrow at 8pm tonight as host Gabriel Bryant features Dr. Yaba Blay, author and producer of 1neDrop.com, and the upcoming book 1neDrop: Conversations on Skin Color, Race and Identity. Both “document the thoughts, feelings, opinions, perspectives, and experiences of a variety of people of African descent from around the world. Their shared experience? Self-identifying and seeing themselves as Black, yet having their Blackness questioned for any variety of reasons.”  

Good stuff ahead on Soul Junction.  This month's edition of Wax Poetics magazine is subtitled The Latin Issue and includes a feature on the Motown of Latin Soul, Fania Records and their house band, The Fania All-Stars, a long article on my man Cal Tjader, and a spotlight Eddie Palmieri, both solo and with his legendary band, Harlem River Drive.  Plus, we'll hear a reissue of a lost Lloyd McNeil album, return to the spacey new Mr. Chop 10 inch and kick things off with the new Black Friday Record Store Day release from Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, covering Shuggie Otis! 

Soul Junction   Wednesday, 8pm-10pm.  GtownRadio.com.

Because people like to say salsa.
