In hour 1, we travel to Nigeria with Femi Kuti and Orlando Julius, hear an Eddie Harris classic reinterpreted by Dr. Lonnie Smith, and contemplate a musical question posed by Benny Gordon. In hour 2, we continue with the funk, soul, and jazz, and break for a set hosted by late, great WERU dj Charlie Oldham.
