Dunno if this fits exactly, maybe not jazz/funky enough, but I listened to Tom Jans' "Dark Blonde" last night (no youtube clips available.) Starts in a very Boz Scaggs groove, (same producer and many of the same band as "Silk Degrees") but I also hear Garland Jeffries, Jackson Browne, and Texas singer-songwriter stuff.

I've never heard Dion's folk club stuff, from when he started over in the mid-60s, but in terms of a cool soulful guy, maybe with a denim jacket and sharkskin suit pants, I'd rec Garland Jeffreys' s/t debut, and his Ghost Writer, with a bit more variety of arrangements. Also something I posted on the Can We Talk About West Coast etc, aJ.D.Souther released a darned decent album, somewhat stylistically surprising album recently (surprising via varying from and veering back through expected approach) mentioned in my show preview:In the late 60s, J.D. Souther and Glen Frey performed as LongBranch PennyWhistle; their lone, self-titled album was backed by the likes of primo Ry Cooder. After playing laidback studio wizard amidst the peaking mists of L.A. country-rock, Souther astutely relocated to Nashville, as country-rock became mainstream pop country. "Rain," Souther's new live album, sinuously illuminates the Latin jazz facets of his ancient gems. Compatible new ballads extend JDS's mix of romance and sharp-eyed attitude, implicitly including his own cool tourism in "That golden cup of style/On your journey down the Nile." It's just a beardier bit like a late-70s Steely Dan, minus too-smooth self-pity. Souther's well-preserved voice and guitar will be accompanied tonight by pianist Chris Walters, a key player on "Rain."He's since re-recorded an album's-worth of early hits, dunno if it's in his current vein, though should think it would be the point, unless he's financially desperate, which seems unlikely.
― dow, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
i finally found a copy of that longbranch pennywhistle album a few months back and i like it but...i should listen again. i mean its pretty minor as westcoast-style stuff goes, but i should give it another shot. i'd always wanted to hear it. i got a nice copy of the first souther album and i think i might keep that, but the later 70's stuff of his never thrilled me like it does some people.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 10 April 2012 19:09 (twelve years ago) link
Never heard anything he was involved with (except Eagles' versions of his songs) before this nice sorta-Steely set, apparently pretty dif from his 70s, but pretty struck by the Nashville afterhours jazzy aspects he brought out of the 70s L.A. FM denim hits, with no trouble t'all. He was one I avoided back in the Creem days, but now, I think I might listen to one of these live Souther-Hillman-Furay live sets unearthed by http://bbchron.blogspot.com

this thread is kinda glitchy for me right now re searches, but surely someone has mentioned Van Morrison's Tupelo Honey? Also maybe pre-Silk Degrees Boz? Been a long time since I heard it, but somebody (prob xgau) called make-out music for hippies. The only track from that era I really recall is his version of "Loan Me A Dime," and when Duane Allman picks up the tempo about half-way through (it's long),does not mess with, only intensifies the mood Scaggs has created, the cut-loose blue pathos and strength. So if he could do that in a luv ballad, yow. on a similar thread, Matos picked Hall & Oates' Abandoned Luncheonette, produced by Todd Rundgren, right? Think "Sara Smile" comes from that, though they may have re-recorded it later.
― dow, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
Rundgren produced War Babies, not Luncheonette. That was Arif Mardin.
― Hey Jude, don't make it BAD MENTAL HEALTH (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
And Sara Smile is on that silver self-titled. She's Gone is the hit from Luncheonette, and that is truly a beautiful piece of folk, jazzy, slightly funky, sorta smoothed out Singer Songwriter stuff.

Only album I've heard (a long time ago) is Voices, which I liked. We used to sell a lot their collection Rock & Soul Part 1, no complaints/ Always wondered about Sacred Songs, the one Hall did w Fripp. Could work, I really liked Fripp's production of the Roches' debut. Mostly an almost er subliminal use of electronics, although on "Hammond Song" he has the Synergy guy, Larry Fast, just enough. They might've invented folktronica, though not the name, fortunately.
