On any given Friday, Cool Your Jets Creative releases a new Fresh Friday. a hot and tasty vinyl mixtape with a custom cover. Tracks range from jazz to soul to hip-hop and beyond, with nearly every song ripped from original pressing vinyl, where each pop from the static patina tells a story of that record’s journey.
Spinning Wheel
This week’s Fresh Friday ventures to disrupt the monotony, spun round by the momentous soul of The Village Callers, Dr. Lonnie Smith, The Meters, The Esbee Family, Christy Essien, Freddie Hubbard, Curtis Mayfield, and the Lijadu Sisters.
Love Me Now
This week’s Fresh Friday honors music and musicians across Africa, pulsed by the soulful heartbeat of Mulatu Astatke (with the Heliocentrics), William Onyeabor, Hailu Mergia, Fela Kuti, The Dur-Dur Band, Alemayehu Eshete, Dollar Brand & Johnny Dyani, and Hugh Masekela (with Hedzolah Sounds).
The Way It Began
Brothers and sisters, this week’s Fresh Friday (on a Tuesday) doesn’t know what the world is coming to, braved by the credible funk of Eddie Kendricks, Maya Angelou, Fela Kuti, Prince, Ann Peebles, Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery, Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra, & Tina Turner.
