Let the Record Show Ep. 10: Skyzoo

While on tour earlier this summer I was able to sit down with the good folks of Let The Record Show TV with Las Vegas DJs Mike Pizzo (Cuepoint) and Warren Peace (exec. prod. As I Am: The Life & Times of DJ AM) to talk about my favorite songs of all time (most of which are jazz), as the tracks spin on vinyl. Had a blast doing this. Listen to the songs discussed in this album via Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/user/lettherecordshowtv/playlist/69RTvWTR8IKXKDyHbLpz7J?si=Gig_rWl1RUii6kpoY_zbWA
