The Plastic Age Mix 8: Jazz 101 HWY
Finale Grand plays a mix of Jazz records from a stack he bought while out on a road trip down the infamous northwest coast highway 101. A time in Finale’s life while he was getting real deep into hard bop, Blue Note, Coltrane, Dolphy and also a very special someone. This mix acts as a soundtrack to a moment of time, in one of the most beautiful regions in America. This stack of records was also the source material for Finale Grand’s album “Cape Blanco Mood Rings” , and these coastal and redwood forests were its inspiration. This mix acts as a counter part to Cape Blanco Mood Rings, Finale Grand’s latest album.
