Soul Foo Young/ Broasted Or Fried!!

A super bad 7" from Willie Bobo. A home run for sure. You must acquire this, then blast it till your eardrums bleed. Enjoy!

This video isn't the 7" version (which is much better)

but its what's available on youtube...

A Different Drummer!!

Unlike Buddy's counterpart, Max Roach, he never evolved much with the times. This album, as Allmusic.com states tries a little too hard to "get with it", as it were. There is even a quote on the back which states "This is a heavy album. Dig it." Still it possesses some strength, and contains explosive drumming, which is expected. Here is the full Allmusic.com review if interested>A Different Drummer. Enjoy!

Yet Another Awakening!!

Mike Longo's The Awakening (1972). It's an all around beaut of the early 70's jam jazz funk style. Please enjoy.

A gander...

Round Trip!!

Phil Woods' 1969 Verve Records drop. A mix of solo sax backed by orchestra and movie theme songs....or something like that. More info is here (Round Trip/ Allmusic.com). Please enjoy.

What Happened!!

Released in 1969 by The Artistics on Brunswick. Clean as a pin soul music. Enjoy.

Portrait Of Jenny!!

I attempted to share this some months ago but the file was squashed within the hour, so I resorted to posting another choice. Well, here it is again for the taking. There is literally a one sentence review on Allmusic.com about this Dizzy drop, but it also gives clips of each tune, so I have provided a link (Portrait Of Jenny). It's a cool little 1970 jazz-funk album from a giant who steps away from his usually style. Enjoy.

The Magic In Threes!!

Part of the current move to revive dirty garage soul, this group features peeps from DeRobert & The Half-Truths, Sky Hi, The Coolin' System and The Grips. Listening to the album, you would never never never take it as anything other than an early 70's grimy indie-soul drop from a no name out of nowhere. Those of you, such as myself, who are time period elitists when choosing albums will be put to shame by this here gem. Funk's past is now it's future. Enjoy.
