If you’ve landed on this *treasure of a re-stream, * you’ve encountered one of the most swingin’ (& personally beloved episodes) from Emmet’s living room.

*Please check out the original vol. 83 broadcast* for sentiments surrounding the performance & more heartfelt comments from our fellow lovers of this music tradition…



This was such a remarkable night with *Emmet, Kyle, Russell, Ruben, & Benny (joined by Emmet’s soulful bff, John Splitoff)* —their creativity, chemistry, & consciousness brought blessings to our MLK Day & Monday night, in 2022.
*It’s beyond meaningful to me that, more than a year later, we continue to thrive off this energy, as a community.*



*Keep these cats in your prayers as they deliver this tradition to the four corners of our globe…*

*Emmet:* We’re so grateful for another safe & successful European tour… *all blessings to you, Kyle, & Philip in Alaska this week* 🙌🏽🎹🥁🎻♥
*Fairbanks friends, please show your love to the Trio (w/ Cyrille Aimée) this weekend, * *4/15.* 🔥🎼


*Ruben:* May the UK take good care of you until you come back to swing in your NYC home…🔥🌃 — Londoners show your love whenever Brother Fox takes the stage 🎷🇬🇧🙌🏽
*Benny:* 🎺 Promise to skin out, with dear *Russell Hall* in San Fran. — it was my intent not to miss your L.A. appearance! Family please check them out at the iconic Black Cat this weekend 🔥 *(4/13 - 4/16)*


*On a VERY special note I ask that you dedicate your prayers/ healing energy to our brother Funmi Ononaiye* — He’s been a beloved advocate & mouthpiece of this music. 🌍♥️🎼
During this special MLK performance, his words exhorted us to choose Love. — In that spirit, I ask that you do the same as he navigates a challenging season.
*Funmi’s support of Emmet, & all the cats, has enabled this music to reach our ears.*
