Joy Jones (Los Angeles) on The Main Ingredient 9/22!

Following her 9/19 show at SOB’s, Joy Jones (L.A.) will be my guest on The Main Ingredient! Her album Godchild, released in July on Future Soul Records, is a thing of beauty. We’ll be playing some tracks from the album, I’ll ask her a few questions and then she’ll play some music that’s influenced her and music from her favorite current artists. Tune in!


Shafiq Husayn (Sa-Ra/Los Angeles) on the Main Ingredient 9/8!

Shafiq Husayn, 1/3 of Sa-Ra Creative Partners will join me on the The Main Ingredient this Monday night!

From his bio:

Shafiq Husayn is a Master Teacher, someone who combines innate talent with the mental and spiritual focus needed to reach their potential. As one third of the stellar, groundbreaking production trio Sa-Ra Creative Partners, Shafiq has been using his prowess to assist some of the greatest musicians of our generation, from Herbie Hancock to J Dilla to Dr. Dre to Erykah Badu. This fall Shafiq takes a step away from collective efforts to direct his own opus—his long-awaited debut album on Plug Research entitled Shafiq En’ A-Free-Ka.
