Matthew “Byrd” Washington is certainly a saxophonist that has been connected on / off because the ’60s with Arizona blues guitarist, singer, and bandleader Frank Ace. Both met as teens, Washington recording monitors with the initial Frank Ace Combo in 1963. A few of these recordings have already been reissued as reward tracks put into a new model of Ace’s Compact disc entitled ISN’T IT ABOUT TIME. This isn’t the same Byrd Washington who performed in Kansas Town in the first 20th hundred years, nor will there be any regards to Matthew “Deuce” Washington, a gospel performer.
