Soul Lounge From The Capitol Vaults

Soul lounge from the Capitol label (founded in 1942) and affiliated labels, like Blue Note, Stateside and United Artists. What better words to hear than ‘Watchin' winter turn to spring’ from ‘Feel like making love’? And happy birthday to Bobby Womack, who turned 69 last week. This mix also pays tribute to Donald Byrd, who passed away February 4. This is what Pat Les Stache wrote on his blog about this jazz legend:

“During the late sixties and seventies, the trumpeter moved away from the hard-bop sound and delved into fusion and soul-jazz, hooking up with legendary jazz-funk production tag-team the Mizell brothers (Larry & Fonce Mizell) to release some of the best recordings of that sub-genre."
