I've been on a long break since the tragic passing of my uncle Larry Ganner. I was working on uploading a set on a Saturday morning when I got the tragic news of my uncle's passing. Since that day I have been dealing with grief and loss and the effect that his death had on my family. With so many things to process, I had to step away from this and deal with the issues in order to heal. I decided the first thing I would do is a tribute for my uncle. It took longer than I expected, maybe because finishing the tribute would mean truly excepting that he is truly gone.
I knew he loved The Brothers Johnson and Herbie Hancock from back in the day. Visiting his house as young boy was the first time I saw the Head Hunters album cover by Herbie Hancock. It freaked me out a little bit as a young boy but still peaked my curiosity about the music on the album. He introduced me to Jazz Funk by having that record in his collection. Thanks uncle Larry! RIP Larry Ganner
