Tuesday 25s, an album from Y2K / 2000, a quarter-century ago.... 😊
"....a program of pop, jazz, and R&B hits, most of them coming from the artists of the era: Notorious B.I.G., Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Bob Marley, Babyface, India Arie, and others.... The aplomb, taste, and exquisite sense of empathy for this music is everywhere in Bowie's arrangements.... This is a fitting final project, and easily the most consistent and realized of all the Brass Fantasy (BF) albums." Thom Jurek/Allmusic ; Wikpedia ; Discogs. This had >1 album cover.
