The world needs a whole lot more positivity right now. One thing is for sure, if you're looking for positivity, Victor Wooten is a great person to seek out. Check out this powerful video with Vic from The Sessions Panel series.

Harriet Tubman visited KEXP on January 21st, and these videos were released on June 1st. I couldn’t decide which of the 4 videos to share... so I’m including them all. I love the whole band, but I especially love the bass work of Melvin Gibbs.
