It was held together with gaffer’s tape, but it sounded really good, so I figured it was worth the $500 he was asking for it. As soon as I got it in to my studio, I started jamming on it and that’s how I came up with the groove for ‘Bust The Bus Stop’. I recorded a first version of it with BFE members Yancy Drew (drums), Paul Shapiro (sax & flute) and Bob Brockmann (trumpet) which was released on a funk compilation, but I didn’t bring the song to BFE at that time. Fast forward to last summer when I came across that old recording and thought that it would be a perfect song to pick up for the current version of the band and turn it into a party jam.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3622912, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3622912/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-27T07:40:22-08:00", "show": 66042, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66042/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn710406.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-8a61dd14-380e-4ea5-a06d-e2f49ef68baa/mbid-8a61dd14-380e-4ea5-a06d-e2f49ef68baa-44343166902_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://ia800407.us.archive.org/17/items/mbid-8a61dd14-380e-4ea5-a06d-e2f49ef68baa/mbid-8a61dd14-380e-4ea5-a06d-e2f49ef68baa-44343166902_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Norf Side", "track_id": "8a6bb90b-cc58-4c65-ae78-0ab742351651", "recording_id": "2a28995a-dda7-4362-93eb-736a417e644b", "artist": "Jill Scott feat.
