Sign-on
"This week on ATG we’ll dig John Scofield’s freaky fusion classic, stomp our feet and clap our hands for the North Mississippi All-stars, dig on a twelve-minute spirit jam from Mino Cinulu and Me’shell Nendegeocello, import five minutes of avante jazz from the land of the rising sun, and leave our love light on…for a government mule.

All that and more is coming up today on…Aint That a Groove."

Welcome
"This edition of ATG is the eighth installment of our periodic program, Odds and Sods, featuring recordings old and new of pressing interest to drummers and other connoisseurs of high art and the fundamental wisdom of the big beat.

The show consists of five sets of music, including two lenghty sets of rock and jazz. And as per usual, you can hardly swing a wine-stained stick bag without hitting a celebrated rhythmist, including Adam Deitch, Jim Keltner, Mitch Abts, Frank Katz, Tito Puente, Jeff Ballard, Lance Carter, Gregory Hutcherson, and Clarence Penn."

Announcement: ATG Playlists Available on iTunes

Playlists for select ATG shows will soon be available as iMixes on Apple's iTunes site, enabling you to sample the show's songs or purchase them individually or collectively. If you've heard a song you enjoy during an ATG webcast, but you can't remember the artist's name or recording's title, sampling ATG's iMixes is an easy way to prompt your recall.

>I expect to post the first iMix playlist on Thursday, April 5, 2006<

Here's the skinny on locating an ATG iMix-based playlist:

1. From the music store's main page, click on iMix in the box labeled "Inside The Music Store" (located in the uppper left-hand corner of the screen).

2. After the iMix page has opened, enter "Ain't That a Groove" in the search box, select "iMix name" from the drop down menu, then click on the search symbol.

All available ATG playlists will appear, beginning somewhere around the fifth spot on the list.
