On The Time of Life, musician Jeff Parker curates an eclectic selection of music from his library of recordings, and occasionally invites guest selectors and performers from his wide community of collaborators and friends.

This month’s presentation of THE TIME OF LIFE is an expression of gratitude to James Dewitt Yancey p/k/a J Dilla or Dilla or Jay Dee on the 16th anniversary of his leaving the earthly realm, in the form of two tribute mixes that I made back in 2008. Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Dilla Week.
