What exactly is Acid Funk? Episode 71 began with that question. The deeper we dug, the less interested we became in finding a perfect definition. One artist led to another, one groove led to another, and somewhere between Liquid Soul, The Brand New Heavies, Galactic, Soulive, and The Motet, Acid Funk became less of a genre and more of an experiment.

A century after Miles Davis was born, the signal still travels. Episode 68: 100 Miles moves through electric jazz, fusion, Bay Area brass, and late-night groove architecture — tracing the pathways Miles helped open across modern music.

Next week on Funky Friday, Episode 34: Miles and Miles honors the genius of Miles Davis — from cool jazz to funk fusion, and the generations he inspired. A one-hour tribute weaving classics like So What, Miles Runs the Voodoo Down, and Tutu with the funk-fueled grooves of Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Marcus Miller, and Parliament.
