New York City and the world at large lost a golden age hero, the mayor of downtown and a Hip Hop icon and photography legend with the loss of Ricky Powell. Known mostly for his photography work and as the 4th member of the Beastie Boys, Ricky also loved playing records, especially Jazz records at some of his favorite local bars including one of my favorite hangouts, Fat Buddah. In honor of the Funky Uncle, I’ve put together a tribute mix of some of my favorite Jazz joints which I hope he would approve of the selections.
