Yet again giving our flowers to a talent we lost, a major one for Detroit, because I can’t think of an artist who wasn’t from here that was so beloved, adopted and adored by the Motor City.

Yes, I’m talking about Frankie Beverly, who died Tuesday at the age of 77. It was Marvin Gaye who took Beverly under his wing and helped him sign a deal with Capitol Records in 1977. I played some of that early material when it was Frankie Beverly’s Raw Soul (of course it became Frankie Beverly & Maze, which was Marvin Gaye’s suggestion). A true giant, who provided the ultimate summer soundtrack to cruising on Jefferson Avenue and a whole bunch of Belle Isle bangers. Rest in rhythm forever, Frankie!

On top of that, I continue my obsession with Tall Black Guy and his wonderful world of edits, new music from Bilal, Buddy, Demuja and more.

Today it’s first-time spins from Porridge Radio, Claude Fontaine, Supergrass, Special Interest, RAH & the Ruffcats, plus a special spotlight on Ezra Collective.

I also give a fond farewell for the man responsible with helping to bring Brazilian rhythms to America — the one and only Sergio Mendes — as well as an ultimate secret weapon on the bass, Herbie Flowers, who played on more than 500 hit records in his lifetime. Massive losses for the music community, but two figures that left everything they had on the stage and on the record. Rest in rhythm to Sergio and Herbie.

Thank you to everyone that called the station to say they love Antibalas as much as me. They are true Afrobeat kings keeping the spirit of Fela Kuti and Tony Allen alive.

A random thread of today’s show is Panda Bear of Animal Collective and his many gigs lending a voice to other peoples projects like Sonic Boom and Bullion, who released the excellent album Affection earlier this year on Michigan-grown label Ghostly International. Plus, I serve up a stunning cover of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U” by Lauren Auder & Wendy & Lisa for a new project from Red Hot Org celebrating the trans experience through music.

The 45th annual Dally in the Alley returns on Saturday. This is some real Detroit stuff, folks. No corporate sponsorships. Completely community ran. Volunteers run the show. You buying beer is how they fundraise. And it’s truly one of the greatest slices of local music you can see in one place in one day.

I went through and highlighted a few artists that really caught my ear this year, including a heavy dose of conscious-leaning hip-hop from Detroit artists Noveliss and Ilajide. The releases Na Bonsai has put out this year on Bandcamp are incredible (buy them here). You can see the rest below in bold.

Gearing up for 2024 Detroit Jazz Fest — my favorite festival in all of Detroit — with a live in-studio performance from legendary saxophonist Wendell Harrison and Tribe, his band that takes the name from the record label and collective Harrison started in Detroit decades ago. His band included Louis Jones on drums, Jacob Schwandt on guitar, Damon Warmack on bass and Pamela Harrison on piano.

Over the course of his distinguished career, he has played with some of the biggest names in the business, including Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Sun Ra and Grant Green (played some of his stuff on the show today).

Harrison is also a founder of the legendary Detroit jazz label and ensemble, Tribe. He has released numerous albums as a solo artist and bandleader, showcasing his unique blend of bebop, soul and funk.

Wendell Harrison and Tribe will perform at 1:15 p.m on the JPMorgan Chase Main Stage at Cadillac Square/Campus Martius on Saturday. You can check out the full 2024 Detroit Jazz Festival schedule here.

Gearing up for 2024 Detroit Jazz Fest — my favorite festival in all of Detroit — with a live in-studio performance from saxophonist Kasan Belgrave and his band (Michael Abbo on bass, Jordan Anderson on piano, Kaleb Robinson on drums). Kasan is the son of Marcus Belgrave, one of the most iconic jazz musicians and educators to come out of Detroit and an internationally recognized talent. 

There’s some really powerful legacy there for sure, but Kasan is stepping out and doing his own thing on his debut album, Dual Citizen, due out later this year. During his session on In The Groove, he performed two songs from the upcoming record. Kasan’s session was absolutely incredible — I’m still buzzing from it!

You can experience it for yourself when Kasan and his band will perform on Monday at 2 p.m. ET on the Carhartt Stage at the Detroit Jazz Festival. Check out the full schedule here.

When I say a “new way to listen to old Prince,” I mean these are technically edits made by producers and deejays who didn’t have permission to remix the song. But hey, they sound great! And the art of the remix is a real thing that we must respect.

On top of that, a celebration of Chicago house music icon Frankie Knuckles. I noticed that the city of Chicago honored him with his own day. Made me wonder if we should do that with some of our local legends? Waajeed Day? K-Hand Day? Carl Craig Day? J Dilla Day? If these days do already exist, please send me a note and correct me.

Plus new music from Rich Ruth — who put on an insanely good show at Third Man Records here in the Cass Corridor over the weekend — Nilüfer Yanya, Cornelius, Loma and more.

It’s the type of show I dream of doing — the celebration of an album that has meant so much to me over the years and its 30th anniversary.

This time, it’s all about the trip hop classic Dummy by Portishead, released on this very day back in 1994. The otherworldly voice of Beth Gibbons (who has some of her solo work played on the show today, too), the production duo of Adrian Utley and Geoff Barrow (his new Beak> album gets a spin, too).

It’s like down tempo lightning in a bottle.

I bought this CD blind when I was still in high school at a now-closed record store in Royal Oak called Wendell’s. The cover sucked me. I took it home, turned it up and my world was forever changed.

And I said that on air today — “anyone hearing this for the first time? Is it changing your life like it did mine?” And I got an email from Josh in Sarnia, Ontario who wrote in, “This is the first time I’ve heard Portishead! Gorgeous.”

That made my whole damn week. Thank you for listening and enjoying one of my favorite albums with me!

There’s some other trip-hop building blocks in the playlist today including Massive Attack, Tranquility Bass and, I’d argue, you can hear the influence on Digable Planets’ “Black Ego,” too (they’ll be in town this week with the Roots). Plus new stuff from SAHRA, Astrid Sonne, Adrianne Lenker and more.

Did you watch the closing ceremony of the Olympics in Paris? It brought out some big acts, including Phoenix and Air (who are definitely in regular rotation on the show).

The most interesting thing was how many people wanted to know about Kavinsky and his track “Nightcall,” which became the most Shazam’d song ever with nearly 7 million people wondering, “the hell is this?” Decided to sandwich that track in there, alongside new music from Hello Mary, Kessoncoda, Lizz Wright and more.

The way music is released these days — always, all the time — it kinda makes new music Friday feel a little dated. But when it comes to major releases, Friday still remains king for album drops (a lot of fresh singles arrive 48 hours before).

Anyway, I brought in a mix of major and indie releases — again, a term that may not matter as much anymore — for this Friday, including System Olympia, Shigeto & Kesswa, Leon Bridges, The Smile and many more.

I wanted to start out the show honoring the late great Rodriguez, who we lost a year ago today. It’s important to make sure his music stays in the mix.
