FONCE MIZELL TRIBUTE MIX BY KEVIN BEADLE

While I was away, I heard the sad news about Alphonso "Fonce" Mizell, half of the infamous Mizell Brothers, that died on july 11th. The list of productions by the duo is very, very long ... from Motown to Blue Note and back via Prestige and Columbia ...

Rest in Peace.

Kevin Beadle made a tribute mix for Gilles Peterson.
