Idris Muhammad - Rhythm
Once this song kicks in it never stops.

By the way, a while ago I did a mixtape with a lot of disco jazz (including Idris Muhammad), you can listen to it here:

Has Turn This Mutha Out ever been reissued? I've never seen it in the local record stores.

been digging bob james a lot lately. picked up "3" on vinyl recently and i gotta say, "westchester lady" is one sick, sick track. i think i'm going to have to invest in some more of his CTI albums.

The Michael Jackson fervor has caused me to seek out Greg Phillinganes's solo work.
His 1981 album fits the bill here, especially "Girl Talk":

You are still a sick sick man jaxon. Although i too have a soft spot for that glossy hitech 80's production style.

Just discovered Kimiko Kasai & Herbie Hancock's 1979 collab:

i mentioned that song on this threadfolk, jazzy, slightly funky, sorta smoothed out Singer Songwriter stuff (sort of a post Steely Dan thread)
you've heard the original, ya? (o, i mentioned it in the original post of this thread)
― jaxon, Monday, 12 July 2010 18:45 (thirteen years ago) link
I got a couple of FUNKY fusion records off emusic by The Headhunters that I never could find on CD that are pretty great. There are some vocals on a few tracks, but it is all still pretty intense funk. If you like Herbie's 70s stuff, they are well worth searching out.

I've been listening to Larry Carlton's s/t album from 1978. It's kind of incredibly odd: beautiful Gibson ES-335 soloing over some basically straight-up disco arrangements with a couple of yacht-rock-ish vocal tunes thrown in there!

That came out two years before Miles Davis's Tutu. Chuck Mangione, cyber-jazz-funk pioneer!

DAZZ DAZZ, DISCO JAZZ: It's the time of the season again, so revisiting this thread.
George Benson's In Flight!

Also, just got Ramsey Lewis's Sun Goddess, and getting Love Notes.

Sun Goddess is so great! It sounds more like an Earth, Wind & Fire album with Ramsey Lewis as a guest than the other way around, but that's just a good thing. Not sure if it fits this thread though, as it's firmly in the early 70s jazz-funk camp. Anyway, besides the title tune, I particularly love the weird-ass goblin synth funk om "Tambura".
― Tuomas, Monday, 30 May 2011 07:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I would say Spring High from Love Notes does:

Really like this, I will buy this straight away if you can vouch for the rest of the album being as good as this (or at least close)?

I have been devouring this thread. So many favorites discussed, and definitely got put on to some new ones. Thought I'd offer up a recent discovery; the arrangements are Bob James. Some serious grooves amidst the standard backing fare. It's on Paramount, but it fits with the CTI catalogue.

Amazing thread. So much of this is right up my alley.
― FunkyTonk, Friday, 11 January 2013 05:05 (eleven years ago) link
Idris Muhammad is fantastic. Had never heard of him before reading this thread.
Does anyone here have any thoughts on Azymuth?
― FunkyTonk, Thursday, 17 January 2013 16:13 (eleven years ago) link
The Azymuth album with the spade on the cover is pretty dope. "Mañana" especially. And of course, "jazz carnival" is classic.

I got a 4CD box of albums by Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition, all released between 1979 and 1984 and now reissued on ECM. There is some seriously weird shit on here, including a version of "Monk's Mood" played with a truly horrifying '80s synth sound.
― 誤訳侮辱, Thursday, 17 January 2013 19:15 (eleven years ago) link
Nice, I love most of that era of DeJohnette. Are there any extra tracks on there? New notes?
― FunkyTonk, Thursday, 17 January 2013 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
I don't have a physical copy, only downloads. There may be new notes, but there are no new tracks. One of the big selling points is that one of the albums - Album Album, from 1981 - has never been on CD before.
― 誤訳侮辱, Thursday, 17 January 2013 21:58 (eleven years ago) link
Actually that's not true- I think maybe Album Album was never released on CD in the States, but I have a copy, and it's here:

― FunkyTonk, Friday, 18 January 2013 17:57 (eleven years ago) link
You're right - Inflation Blues is the one that's never been on CD before.
― 誤訳侮辱, Friday, 18 January 2013 18:20 (eleven years ago) link
Ah right. And I do want Inflation Blues, so I'll probably pick up the box, despite having purchased 3 of the discs in the last few months. Argh.

Always looking for a good reason to revive this thread. Found this today, features include George Duke, Marcos Valle, Flora Purim (of course), Joe Farrell and many of the CTI usual suspects, although it's a Warner release. Perfect for the first summery night in NYC.

I am really close to really digging the new Rudresh Mahanthappa, but I can't quite get into the way it sounds -- it has that shiny metallic 90s jazz sound that I thought had mostly died out. I hate the way the drums are recorded to sound more like rock drums.
