09/09/2024 - Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before - Episode 017

A Smiths cover I couldn't get out of my head sent us to a deep dive into the world of legendary Latin artists Cal Tjader, Willie Bobo, and Carlos Santana, before a funky sax cover of a Jefferson Airplane song led us to one of the most enduring hip-hop beats and producers of all time- Pete Rock. Hope you enjoyed the show!
