	e amongst the many). During the 1970s\, Sparks backed up Lou Donaldson
	 on the Funk-Jazz classics "Everything I Play Is Funky" and "Hot Dog".
	 Sparks recorded seven albums of his own and played on over 100 other 
	albums. As a session man for Blue Note and Prestige Records\, Sparks l
	aid his signature guitar work on many other musician's albums without 
	ever being in spotlight. It was during this time that Melvin defined t
	he jazz-guitar sound of a generation. Melvin Sparks is still a much so

	and in the pocket. Melvin Sparks has perhaps the most inspiring and so
	ul-energizing guitar chops on this planet or another. He is admired by
	 many performers\, and audiences old and young alike\, but continues t
	o be a hidden treasure for music fans worldwide. He is Soul-Jazzy and 
	Funky to the core!
