    It was Hurricane Milton that really hit Sarasota with 10-12 inches of rain. The Van Wezel is/was the venue for the annual Joys of Jazz concerts featuring Dick Hyman's pals and Concord label artists.

    TJB at Sarasota's Van Wezel? The front rows must've dried from Helene's flood water.

    As Mike Nichols quipped about Gertrude Stein: "What a gal! They don't make 'em like THAT anymore." In every role, Maggie Smith always let you know she was there.

    In '73, Paul Butterfield let Geoff Muldaur take the vocal on this Percy Mayfield classic. Of particular note is Amos Garrett's solo at midpoint, proof of Butter's legacy in finding top guitarists (Bloomfield, Elvin Bishop, Buzz Feiten, and Garrett).

    In 1973, Jerry Ragavoy produced this excellent smooth soul 'classic LP.

    My entry in the fish-nor-fowl thread is this singular jazzy track (on Beatles' Apple label) with Billy Preston on organ and Leon Russell, piano. Who knew?

    How about: The 'Svengali' Ten?

    As I began my first radio DJ stint in '69, a cart of Mendes' hit, 'Fool On the Hill' was a go-to airplay favorite. Sergio's albums for A&M have been in my collection and then to Elektra and Verve. My fave track from his 'Brasileiro' (1992):

    from 'Makossa Man', the 1974 Atlantic LP follow-up to 'Soul Makossa'.

    On Tyner's 'Extensions', I notice the 2nd track is titled The Wanderer', so maybe... OTOH, cat hairs and paw prints in your studio might lead to an arrest.

    Some of the latest in neo-funk/soul and touch of spiritual. Lyrics and music by the trio of Nicola Conte, Myles Sanko, and Alberto Parmegiani.

    Best track -- the magic starts at 2:30 getting into a serious jazz-blues jam, Hammond B3 included. Recorded in November, 1968 when Mayall moved to SoCal and joined the hippie scene.

    And also teaching the pros! In '75 after a Tower of Power show in Cambridge, their funkmeister drummer, Dave Garibaldi, said he'd had a lesson with Alan Dawson earlier that day.

    In 1973, this Capricorn label band (Duke Williams & Extremes) met with the Phila. Intl. rhythm section and cut, 'Chinese Chicken'. Note how the Sichuan pepper sauce starts burning halfway thru.

    First dug Tootie on Herbie Hancock's 'Prisoner' (April, '69) and 'Fat Albert Rotunda' (May-June, '69). On both albums, Tootie showed he could play 'outside' and straight down the middle. (After taking more than a year off, 'Mwandishi' Herbie went with Billy Hart.)
