The 1970’s and the 1990’s which I believe are inextricably linked for a number of reasons the primary reason being musically. What you take in will definitely find its way into your creativity and for a lot of artists who were born in the period between the mid-60’s to the early 1970’s Soul, Funk and Jazz were part of their soundtrack. One generation’s ultimate cool out tune becomes another generation’s ultimate Summer Jam. Has really been 20 years since the Summer of ’91? Well if you look at the calendar the answer would be yes but if you listen to this music you will be instantly transported to a different time altogether.
