Today’s guest deejay is Roxy Coss .

Roxy is a musician, composer, bandleader, recording artist, educator and activist.

I have Phil Freeman (listen to Phil’s mix for Genius and Soul here) to thank for turning me on to Roxy when he reviewed her 2017 album, Chasing The Unicorn. I was dumbstruck at her creativity on the first track on the album, where she improvises with several overdubs of herself. I was hooked, and I became a fan of Roxy and her music.

On today’s show, we’ll hear music that is essential to Roxy and a coupe tracks from her new album, Disparate Parts, which was released yesterday on Outside in Music.

The interstitial music on today’s show is “July” by Roxy Coss from her 2010 self-titled album.
