Bay Area Funk


In the late Sixies, San Francisco was a melting pots of innovative music. Not only were Jazz, Rock 'n' Roll, and R&B merging together to form funk, but different ethnic groups in the Bay Area were adding their own spin to the growing funk scene.

Tune in this Friday as I talk to Adrew Jervis of the California-based Ubiquity Records. A subset of Ubiquity, Luv N' Haight Records, focuses solely on releasing and compiling lost and rare tracks from past artists - especially that of Soul, Jazz, R&B, and Funk. Andrew recently helped compile two compilations that focus on the Bay Area Funk Scene. We will get his take on what was going on then and what the San Francisco music scene looks like today.
