As I've said before, any friend of sly, slick 'n' wicked R&B ripper Andre Williams is someone to keep an eye on. The Brussels bad boys behind the Laid Back music site know it and have taken their surveillance one step further by putting a video camera on Williams' Belgian buddy and serious record hound Jean Roger aka "JR" who recalls some of his more memorable vinyl chasing exploits for their new digumentary Wallifornia Soul.
In the 15-minute preview that follows below, JR spins some of his favourite sevens in his wax stacked pad while reminiscing about his time in Quebec and fondly recalling dusty fingered days spent with Edouard Cabral at Primitive in Montreal and Aki Abe at Cosmos in Toronto. In fact, JR can't praise Cosmos highly enough. Watch for Aki's brief cameo appearance. Beat junkies, DJs and rare vinyl connoisseurs alike planning to visit Toronto should make a trip to Cosmos West (663 Queen Street West) – but stop by a bank machine first. Trust me on that one.
