To The Nineties and Back
Starting off in 1997 with “Highway Song” by Leftover Salmon and work our way up to September 2019 with Ronnie Penque’s ‘Family Business’ album. Some loud funk and jazz jams from the early 2000s and we end up back in the Nineties with a long jam by Cousin Fungus.
- “Between Here and There" by Soulajar
- "Euphoria" by Leftover Salmon
- "Funk Life" by Yo Mama's Big Fat Booty Band
- "Ya-Ka-May" by Galactic
