A week ago I posted a Jazz mix, “Sky High Jazz, Too (Mizell Brothers)”, featuring artists produced by Larry and Fonce Mizell and their Sky High Productions company. This era (mid 70s to early 80s) was my introduction to the wonderful rhythms and musical diversity of the great American art form known as Jazz and the Mizell produced albums from that time have a special place in my heart.

This week I continue the in the same theme and we delve once again into the Mizell Brothers’ catalog with another collection of “Sky High” music. Today’s playlist is heavily populated with Donald Byrd cuts, having five of my favorites from him in addition to selections from the other usual suspects: Bobbi Humphrey, Gary Bartz, Johnny Hammond, A Taste Of Honey, The Blackbyrds and Rance Allen.

OK, it’s kick back and relax time as the sounds of the Mizell Brothers continue to flow forth from the RIBS kitchen as we present to you…

All That Jazz: In Celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month

I don’t talk about my love for jazz enough on this blog so I figure jazz appreciation month is the perfect time to do so. I have to admit that my knowledge is lacking. Mama Vivrant Thang was never really into jazz so it wasn’t played much around the house. She did love Kenny G though and [...]

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect

Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
