Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The end of the week is here, which means that it\u2019s time to fire up the wireless and twist the knobs so that the dulcet tones of the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> flow from your speakers. This and every Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio<\/strong><\/a> I endeavor to bring you the best in funk, soul, jazz and rare groove \u2013 all on original vinyl. You can also subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes.<\/p>\n

I have discussed my love for the sound of the vibraphone in this space many times before (and demonstrated it as well, see Funky16Corners Radio v.79 \u2013 Positive Vibrations<\/strong><\/a>). It\u2019s just one of those instruments I could listen to all day long, and then some.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite \u2013 lesser known (to some, anyway) players is the great Johnny Lytle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though he may be best known in soul jazz circles for his 1964 classic \u2018The Village Caller\u2019, I first encountered Lytle\u2019s music via a couple of 45s he recorded for Detroit\u2019s Tuba label.<\/p>\n

Lytle was as adept on the vibes as he was the xylophone (which he often switched to on his records) and was, like my favorite Freddie McCoy<\/strong>, a master of the soul jazz sound.<\/p>\n

The tune I bring you today is the title track from his 1967 Pacific Jazz LP \u2018Done It Again\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018Done It Again\u2019 swings from the get go, with a healthy dose of Latin flavor (Don Alias<\/strong> on the congas).<\/p>\n

Lytle opens the song on the vibes, then solos on the xylophone.<\/p>\n

\u2018Done It Again\u2019 is a fast mover, with enough heat for the dance floor (you can also pick it up on a 45 if you so desire).<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the sounds, and I\u2019ll see you all on Monday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
