Some laid back goodness from one of the masters of laid back goodness. From Dr. Sauce himself: This is a remix project of the compositions of jazz composer and musician, Rudy Stevenson. Rudy played and composed for the likes of Nina Simone, Wynton Kelly, Grant Green, Fifth Dimension, Cedar Walton, Duke Pearson, Lee Morgan, Herbie Mann, Julie Driscoll, Junior Mance, Vivian Reed, Montego Joe and others.
I had the honor of meeting Rudy numerous times in Berlin. First in 2007, after befriending and making music with his son, Wynton Kelly Stevenson. Over the next few years, I made these remixes and went on to form a side group with Wynton, called Duct Tape. Rudy was tickled to hear these remixes before he passed in 2011. Please help me celebrate Rudy’s legacy by sharing this project on his birthday… and beyond.
