Allen Toussaint

Like many others, we were saddened to hear about the death of Allen Toussaint's on November 10th, 2015. This mix celebrates Toussaint's life and roles as a player, singer, writer, producer and arranger. He is a national treasure who will be missed. Mixed by Geezus.

Hello everybody! It's been awhile since I posted here but I just wanted to thank everyone for listening over the past year. It has been really fun for me to do and I hope you have gotten something out of the mixes. I have decided to continue Phonomenal Odyssey but will be spacing out their releases a little more. I should be putting new ones up about every 3 to 4 weeks going forward.  I will make sure to post on Twitter and Instagram whenever there is a new one up. I have also moved over to Mixcloud due to ongoing copywrite issues w/ Soundcloud. I hope to see you over there.

Peace!

Paul
