Guru Guru - UFO (1970)

 

[Ojai Sam]

Tom Waits - The Black Rider (1993)

I love Tom Waits but these songs for an avant garde stage play simply don't work out of that context, at least for me.

on the Sam-O-Meter.

Jack DeJohnette ~ Works [Compilation] (1986)



ECM Style Jazz (it's a thing)

Lord Jamar - The 5% Album (2006)

Donald Harrison - Real Life Stories (2002)

Bobby Lyle - Ivory Dreams (1989)

If one was to be so inclined, one could buy this from Amazon for either $4.03 or $296.58 -- I wonder if that's a disguised IQ test.

The music is a wide blend of traditional Jazz to fusion Jazz to smoother Jazz, going from an accoustic cover of Ellington to synthed up workouts to covers of Anita Baker hits.

The Spinners - Mighty Love (1974)

None of the Spinners can be represented by weak astrological signs like Virgo, Libra, or Aquarius. These guys are Detroit tough, like bulls and rams and lions! Leave those weak signs to 5th Dimension and other soft groups.

War - The World Is A Ghetto (1972)

So good. As much as I generally like Why Can't We Be Friends? as my favorite War album, this one sounds, right now, like it might be on the same standing.

War - The World Is A Ghetto (1972)

So good. As much as I generally like Why Can't We Be Friends? as my favorite War album, this one sounds, right now, like it might be on the same standing.

That's my favorite War album - certainly a big part is that it was my first War album and I bought it on vinyl
