DJ Flash Gordon Parks pays homage to a native son of Houston, jazz guitarist Melvin Sparks. At one point Brother Sparks was a pupil of Conrad Johnson before becoming a sought after session musician for Blue Note and Prestige Records. This mix focuses on some Melvin Sparks’ solo albums from the 1970s and early 1980s. A perfect blend of funky, soulful jazz w/ a pinch of blues to exemplify the hometown roots…..Enjoy!!!
