have a good weekend mate

…and to continue the Byrd theme, (Donald’s stuff tends to lend itself well to an eclectic mix) any or all of his RGS album “Kofi”…but I see it is not on your list, if you want me to up it for you, let me know.

Asking for suggestions is also a bit sadistic. Where to begin? McLean, Hutcherson, Shorter, and some of my other favorites have already been duly nominated. I don’t see any suggestions thus far for Dexter Gordon. I’ve always enjoyed his Blue Note work, and how about a taste of Bobbi Humphrey just to represent the latter wave of young turks (or in this case, turkette) who took BN in a new (if not always pure) direction?

I look forward to the results. Should be an interesting mash-up.
