so anyway, i picked up three BMG vinyl reissues (from the 90's, maybe? were acidjazz freeks begging for them? probably.) Sinbad (which is good), Spirit Man (which is very good. "songs with best titles are best songs" rule applies here. "pogo stick", blast off", and "jungle juice" are the cool cuts.), and Cosmic Vortex(Justice Divine) (which is very very good. lotsa great breaks and percussion and whackajawhacka bim bap thump thump space station sativa yumminess. i dig it. and it's the one i would tell people to get if they see it. but if you like jazzyfunky mostly instrumental groove action from the 70's then you will want to at least hear all of these. they are fun to play.)
Okay, Jaxon, now this thread will disappear into the eeeeeeeeether!!!!! it was fun while it lasted. the cover shot on spirit man, wow, he shoulda been huge. or a cult leader. i woulda drank his kool-aid. hypnotic shit right there.

Only a matter of time before someone reissues The Sisters?

Seriously though: his catalogue has got to be one of the most unjustly neglected around.
I was lucky to grab Liberated Brother and Time Capsule on CD from Dusty Groove ages ago when they had them for like eight dollars each way back when. And then the RCA albums on vinyl as well.
But man, those are all peak soul jazz records.
