    The World According To Jonesy – Radio Show #35

    April 23rd, 2012

    Jonesy continues the saga with a supremely rare selection of funk and soul tracks from the 60’s and 70’s. Kicking off the show with several mellow cuts from Black Ivory, Lawrence Hilton Jacobs, and Linda Lewis, Jonesy lights the set on fire with grooves from the Bionic Boogie and Coatimundi. It’s always an enlightening experience when you let Jonesy take you on a sonic journey deep into the forgotten sonic realms of our funk and soul forefathers.

    Saturdays will have a new look starting April 7th, when renowned and much loved presenter Gilles Peterson launches a new Saturday show from 3pm-6pm on BBC Radio 6.

    Gilles will extend Radio 6’s musical range by stirring up more soul, jazz, hip hop, and dance to the network.

    The World According To Jonesy – Radio Show #34

    February 3rd, 2012

    It’s been an unfortunate start to the new year for funk and soul fans the world over. January saw the passing of three music icons Jimmy Castor, Johnny Otis, and Etta James. Their combined influence on funk, soul, jazz, and even rock-n-roll was profound to say the least. By forging new pathways for future artists they truly inspired generations of fans for years to come. This week Jonesy pays tribute to the passing of these musical legends, by featuring tracks from each artist, intermixed with the standard affair of soulful grooves.
