With the recent passing of percussionist/songwriter James Mtume, we lay all tracks from his legendary funk/soul/boogie supergroup, including all the jams that James wrote for other artists. In between working with Stephenie Mills, Donny Hathaway and Tyrone Brunson he managed to create a string of classics that have been staples in so many of our lives so we had to do something to signify his passing. So strap yourselves in for some quality sunshine music that will lift your spirits higher than most of the artists were who he was working with.
