Episode 73 of Funky Friday celebrates the first full week of summer with SummerSonic—a soundtrack of jazz-funk, soul, and timeless grooves designed for coastal drives, warm evenings, and turning the radio up just a little louder.

Funky Friday Episode 58 explores the deep pocket of funk, where rhythm sections lock into grooves that move the room without ever rushing the beat. From James Brown’s disciplined funk architecture to the elastic fusion groove of Herbie Hancock, this episode traces the musicians who understand that the pocket is where the magic lives.
