I have only that song and a few other scattered tracks, all on compilations.

i dunno you might as well start with "spirit man".

it's ok.

I used to have 'Cosmic Vortex' - I may still have a cassette copy.

He's on one of the Freddie Hubbard CTI's too.

i don't think he is on the hubbard. they just play his composition, uh, mr. clean? i think.

there is a groove holmes album where they play an irvine composition too. the blue note one.

i find this guy's reviews funny. he reviews a ton of records, lookign for samples and funky stuff and whenever things are too jazzy he says the music is "light bop" and dislikes it. here are his thoughts on his weldon irvine records. he also seems to spend a ton of money on LPs and gets ripped off often.

They also play an Irvine composition on Stanley T's "Cherry," also on CTI.

Tambourine on 'Straight Life'

hmmmmmmmm no consensus!

Picked up Time Capsule recently and thought pretty dated cosmic soul jazz with poetry. Time Capsule for sure...

[Bright Moments]

what's this dude's story?

[Late]

Bam.

He was his own man.  I first heard him on his Strata-East album, didn't really hear 'Spirit Man' and the stuff in that vein for a few more decades. 'Spirit Man' gives you one side of him, 'In Harmony' (the Strata-East album) gives you another side of him.  They're both gonna cost you more than you want to pay, so start on youtube.
