In hour 1, we snoop around to locate the most soulful detective tunes that can be found, pay tribute to late saxophone master Yusef Lateef, and bring you sounds direct from Africa. We'll visit South Africa with Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba and bring you tracks from Sierra Leone and Nigeria. In hour 2, we'll journey yet again to New Orleans, our favorite haunt, spin some funk from Benin, and check out a live version of Gil Scott-Heron's Winter in America.
