Stevie Wonder's music remains the most interpreted of black soul and R&B
artists but following the leads of cats like Herbie Hancock, Don Byron and Cassandra Wilson more and more jazz musicians are revisiting the compositions of people whose names were not Lennon- McCartney and I think
it's about time. Happily, the Jazz Soul Seven a collective which Ms M probably
knows, features Teri Lynne Carrington on drums, has taken on the music of
Curtis Mayfield which almost everyone has ignored or overlooked for so many
years. And what they've created, I love...

Don Byron, btw, did a great job with Jr Walker's work; I'm hoping other artists
are paying attention...
