The summer of 2024 is quickly disappearing in the rearview mirror and it's time to forge on into the busy fall and winter seasons of the year. While the music on this episode isn't targeted to reflect that sentiment, there is perhaps a serendipity to some of the songs chosen on this playlist, maybe you can connect the dots that I am, and maybe not. Either way, it's okay. Sergio Mendes left us recently and so we pay tribute to the great master of bossa, samba and - don't forget - pop! Also, new releases from The dB's, Rich Goldstein, Joshua Moshier, and more Elemental/Motown reissues, too.
