Funk Soul

On Wednesday September 13, Vince Peach broadcasts an exclusive recording from last year’s tribute concert for the late Pierre Baroni on Soul Time.

Pierre programmed and presented Soulgroove’66 on PBS from 2003 and had been a broadcaster at the station since 1997. Sadly Pierre passed away in March 2021 having continued to program and present his weekly program right up to the final week of his life.

This week's PBS Feature Album is The Shores of Infinity, the fourth album by 9-piece spiritual jazz group Menagerie. 

Menagerie is the Melbourne-based Jazz ensemble founded by producer, songwriter, guitarist, DJ and recording artist Lance Ferguson, who is also the driving force behind The Bamboos, Lanu, Rare Groove Spectrum and Machines Always Win. 

This week's PBS Feature Album is Hearing by icon of the Australian and international jazz scenes, Mike Nock. In a career spanning more than 65 years, including 25 years in the US, he has worked with the world’s top jazz artists and garnered a swag of awards, including being inducted into the Australian Jazz Hall of Fame. 

This week's PBS Feature Album is Sundial, the highly anticipated new album from LA based rapper Noname. 

Sundial marks Noname's third full-length release and follows 2018’s acclaimed Room 25 and her 2016 breakout mixtape Telefone. The new album is a culmination of years of exploration for the Chicago-raised artist, featuring guests like Common, Billy Woods, Jay Electronica, Ayoni, Eryn Allen Kane and more along with production from the likes of longtime collaborator Saba, Gaetan Judd, and Yussef Dayes.
