Anything Goes with Kendo - Inner City Blues

A mostly chill blend of soul jazz, straight-ahead, lounge, disco and sound theater. The second half of the mix is themed "Inner City Blues", sound pictures of crime and poverty ridden city life in the 1970s from the people who lived it. Plenty of groove and intrigue... listen in the player below. Thanks for stopping by! - Kendo
