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…
