July 20 2024 - At the Back of Beyond

7/20/2024

This week in The Purple Room we continued exploring the Zamrock sound with Jesper Siliya Lungu’s Hot Do. We also paid tribute to the incredible sound of the Hammond B3 organ with music from Seattle’s Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio and “Brother” Jack McDuff. 

This week’s cover features Ntjam Rosie whose blend of soul and jazz filled the Purple Room walls this weekend.

I hope you enjoyed the show; follow PurpleRoomRadio on IG for playlists of the full archives.
