Those Farrell's albums are the bomb. Canned Funk is great, but Penny Arcade is 10/10 to me.

From that list "Forecast" by Eric Gale was always a disappoint one. Great crew, great year, but the music is weird - but in a good, tripy way.

I just received four from these new CTI reissues (Wilkins, Benson, Hammond/Prophet, McCord). I was surprised by the Jack Wilkins / Opal CD: what a session with a great guitar player reminding me of Jim Hall. Highly recommended. Benson as expected: fabulous sound, arrangements and players - dream teams indeed. McCord is not jazz but still quite nice...! Prophet waits to be played.

Then I ordered the Farrell CDs as well as the Farmer/Tokyo and Green/Fox ones.
