We spin some sizzling disco from Instant Funk and The Trammps, travel to Nigeria with Femi Kuti and The Elcados, and raise the roof with gospel power from Aretha Franklin. In the second hour, we check out Gary U.S. Bonds' interpretation of the Clyde McPhatter classic "A Lover's Question," hear a New Orleans trombone cover of Black Sabbath, and stretch out with the Cannonball Adderly Quintet.
