Here's a playlist I made of a 1970s band I only recently discovered (I know I'm late). Led by Donald Byrd and combining soul, rhythm, funk, disco, and smooth jazz, this music has informed my entire summer so far and given me the most groovy joys. As we move toward sweltering temperatures, just remember hot weather is what the sun was meant to do. We're lucky to live in the Goldilocks zone of Earth. Put on some headphones and find some A/C.
