Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe was an Igbo Nigerian Highlife musician, from southeastern Nigeria. His career spanned over 40 years, and he is one of the most well known Igbo highlife musicians. His loping layered grooves are elemental to the West African sound. His compositions frequently occupied an entire side of wax and often aspects of samba and meringue. A highly danceable groove.

Bow Thayer is one of Vermont's best kept secrets. A talented singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, his profile was raised somewhat by recording an album with Band drummer Levon Helm. A terrific roots rock album, this track is just a solid bit of American songwriting and playing.

Johnny Otis, one of the great American blues and rhythm and blues pianist, vibraphonist, drummer, singer, bandleaders and impresarios, was born John Alexander Veliotes to greek immigrant parents. Perhaps best known for his hit Willie and the Hand Jive, Otis recorded literally hundreds of tracks often including the prodigious guitar work of his son Shuggie Otis. As this track demonstrates, he always had a crack band and knew how to groove.
