as much as i think edits are kinda retarded (especially when they're just working w/an already dancey disco track), i've been wanting to make some tracks (this one would be a good canidate) into edits.

Candido's 'Dancing and Prancin' is an excellent mini- LP that works really well within the jazz-disco realm. Is the "Thousand Finger Man" track that's on this LP from 1979 the same as the earlier one he released in 69 ? I wouldn't think so. I have been searching out tracks like these after purchasing Johnny Hammond's Gears. 'Los Conquistadores Chocolates' man what a great tune!

Another stone Lonnie Liston Smith classic: "Space Princess" (from Exotic Mysteries). Further out on the disco tip than "Expansions", and as great as the title implies.
On one of those Best of Soul Train shows a couple of weeks ago, the serious dancers were throwing down to Ramsey Lewis' "What's the Name of This Funk(Spiderman)" like it was a known club hit. That's a squiggly mother, too.

Link to Space Princess audio via Aol Video but no vid ? Who cares, this shit is banging. Apparently a Mancuso classic.

Damn that break in the middle is dope. I'll be on the hunt for this one now. thanks briania :)

Yeah, it's a seven-minute groove that just isn't long enough.

i have the 12" if you have something nice to trade, it's not one of my LLS jams.

Are you some kinda vinyl god? Are you the aforementioned Jaxon?
Records like that -- I scoop 'em up when I find 'em, but to actually start COLLECTING them would be such a leap down the rabbit hole... Intriguing to know that a 12" exists, though.

Vibramatic made a big comeback a few years back thanks to the Joakim remix:
http://www.discogs.com/release/207922
I think the original fell in that vein of Herbie Hancock embracing Celluloid records after they discovered Kool Lady Blue's night at the Roxy.
Paul Hardcastle was the inevitable end of that vein (specifically, Jazzmasters). Or further, Dave A. Stewart & Candy Dulfer - Lily was Here in 1989. Ugh.
This thread alone justifies ilm
BTW, a couple Jose Feliciano songs fit the bill of Summery, Jazzy R&B. type thing for me lately (Golden Lady, Wild One, etc)
Also, did I mention Steve Parks' Movin' in the Right Direction yet? Too lazy to ctrl-f

Miles Davis' We Want Miles (1982) is one of my favorite 80s jazz albums
it's definitely not pop/disco. discogs lists it as fusion, which i guess it is with the electric guitar, but because it's all live it feels so much more organic and definitely not overproduced
plus Jean Pierre is fucking amazing

I finally got Herbie's Feets Don't Fail Me Now, and it's quite good. Mostly it's the sort of synth-laden vocoder disco you'd expect from Herbie of this era, faster and more poppy than Sunlight but less smooth and polished than Lite Me Up, which makes for a nice mid-ground. I'd say it's one of his better dance albums, definitely worth more than the one star AMG gives it. "Tell Everybdoy" has a terrific groove, everyone should check out at least that tune if not the whole album.
― Tuomas, Sunday, 24 August 2008 22:32 (fifteen years ago) link
"Tell Everybody" also has some pretty over-the-top echoed synth drums that seem to be foreshadowing the 80s drum sound.
― Tuomas, Sunday, 24 August 2008 22:44 (fifteen years ago) link
i read that AMG review the other day, fucking dick review.
"Herbie falls hook, line and sinker for the disco fad and submerges his personality underneath the plastic vocals and four-on-the-floor disco beat... This time, even the purists were right; this is of no interest to jazz listeners and it isn't even good disco. "

It's OK, a bit dry.
Really into these lately: The songs w/ vocals on Ronnie Laws' Flame, Art Farmer's "Crawl Space," Joe Farrell's "Night Dancing" (has a kinda Material-like synth-driven chunk to it).

haha, i posted that video on that jap electronic thread just now
that 1981 album is like, 808 new wave, whereas the 77 album is closer to CTI meets Dr. Buzzard
I discovered his solo work via the Japanese City Pop lastfm group, which is ironic considering how much YMO and Sakamoto I already own.
Elastic Dummy is the best example, but La Rosa is the best available on youtube:
