playjazzloud sessions #49: BBE Mixtape

Next week's mix has come a few days early as I had a last minute urge to get a mix together for this BBE mixtape competition being run on MixCloud. BBE has been a big influence on my music and so despite tons of work piling up next to me I had to jump in and drop a mix today. The deadline for the competition is the 16th. So playjzzloud community I need your help to listen to the mix, if you like it please favor it, recommend it and spread it to all your friends. I need to get as many listens as possible in the next day or so! Yes I was that late :)

Many of the mixtapes in the competition are focusing on other styles in the BBE catelog and I've gone typically playjazzloud style by zeroing in on soul, jazz, funk, disco with a little afro and latin thrown in for good measure. I encourage you to check out the other BBE mixtapes as they are all amazing and really showcase the range and depth of the label. Enjoy, listen below or on SoundCloud or download directly from here but preferably go listen on MixCloud and support the mix in the competition!
