chewy, i dig you. you are a soulful black cat who knows how to swing. please post more.

thanks DM, you know, i think its cause the label was trying to have his records be "commercial", u know?

[michel1969]

And what are the credits for "Electric funk" (BST83450) ??? If someone knows, let me know !!!

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I don't think anyone knows about either album's credits. These were Sonny Lester productions for Blue Note, after UA had knocked Soiled State on the head. "Black pearl", another Lester BN (and the best of the lot), which DOES have credits, seems to have them wrong anyway.

I haven't got "Something to listen to" - a big mistake I made in the seventies, I think, so I can't even guess at the tenor player. Bet Dan Gould has this album..

i got the "something to listen to" bn lp and the track i am listen very often to is:

deb sombo - a real funky jazz burner

[Harold_Z]

I haven't heard the tracks in question, but if it's a Sonny Lester production on a Jimmy McGriff date, two names to consider on tenor would be Joe Thomas or Connie Lester.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Arthur Theus worked with McGriff from about '68 to '71 or so, so he COULD be the tenor player. (Or the alto player ) Or Joe Morris, who was also on board. But I haven't heard this album.
