Razorcake Podcast #229: With Russ Van Cleave
I’ve been a little burnt out lately, but I’m getting back into things with a new setup. So I decided to sit in front on my music collection for a couple nights and just pick some songs.

Some dub reggae that I know nothing about…
The Velvet Underground…I’m not gonna do your homework for you…
The Tremeloes…one of the greats of the British Invasion…
Joe Newman was a great singer and trumpeter that probably flies under most people’s radar nowadays when people talk jazz. He played and sang with the likes of Count Basie and Lionel Hampton. The eminent Coleman Hawkins actually plays on this song too. You can hear him on the solo.
