Previously ‘Track of the Day’ ran down a chart of the ‘Top 300 Jazz Artists’ as determined on ‘Rate Your Music’. The new theme is ‘artists that didn’t make the charts’.
This is a track from Nils Petter Molvaers' latest offfering.

It was sad to learn of the passing of Lamont Dozier. He was 'Dozier' in the Holland-Dozier-Holland song writing team who wrote so many Motown hits.
There doesn't seem to be many Jazz covers of his compositions. This is one I found.
