Today's episode took an extra while to surface with outside obligations, but the build has been worthwhile. You'll hear from our pals in THE SUZAN, fresh off their touchdown performance in Athens, GA at the 40 Watt Club for the Athens Slingshot Festival (http://www.athensslingshot.com). New to our scene are a pair of Yokohama based jazz artists. First off is vocalist Akiko Nakanowatari (http://www.geocities.jp/heartland7139jp/profile.html) and second is composer Yoshihiro Nakagawa (https://soundcloud.com/yoshihiro_nakagawa). We start with some atmospheric stomp, slide into sultry soul (with an added touch of K-music via Jin Young Park), jig with the aforementioned jazzymetrics, rock hard (with SAWA and Acid Black Cherry), get a little electronica-sual (Bioooo and Survice), and urban jam on home. You'll hear about what's been going in our hiatus, a fantastic new book from a first time Athens author, UGA's Japanese Conversation Club, and get another slice of aural heat from Mr. MurkDaddyFlex (http://murkdaddyflex.bandcamp.com/). Hope you enjoy the show, and we'll be back with more interviews and on the road treats!
