  1. I will gladly share in and dig into a thirty track experiment in openness across the spatial and temporal — and hopefully the spiritual. I love all the August mixes. THANKS!

  2. Boy, did this arrive at the right time. About to walk with the dog on a relatively crisp morning in this August of swampy slop sweat. And now I can be properly introduced to Bembeya Jazz National – what a groove.

  3. Thanks for this.. great mix and I absolutely love Teta Lando – Muato Wa n’Gingila .. could listen to that over and over

  4. Never mind figured out my previous question! Amazing mix truly spiritual – Renfroe where have you been all my life?!
