Evan O’Television

For the return of Mixtape Fridays, I have let the jazz and soul masters take command and guide us into the spring.  It takes several  tangents (many of them African), includes a track Nas did with his father, a Sade song off my favorite new album of 2010, and opens with a great Nina Simone remix, that feels, at times, as much like an argument as it does a recording.  Dig it.

(Playlist is below the fold.)
