Alphonso Johnson - Yesterday's Dreams (1976)


Jazz-funk with a healthy dose of loose-booty-ed disco led by bassist Alphonso Johnson, whose credits include playing with Weather Report from '74 to '76, as well as on Phil Collins' Face Value. Easy like Sunday morning.

Track listing:
1. Love's the Way I Feel 'Bout Cha
2. As Little as You
3. Scapegoat
4. Show Us the Way
5. Balls to the Wall
6. Tales of Barcelona
7. Fight to Hampstead Heath
8. One to One

Waves of sweetness

Eddie Henderson - Sunburst (1975)


I'm back from the beach, NYC, and motherfuckin' Towson, baby! Sorry to take off so suddenly on you, but you know I gotta do me. To make it up to you, here's some spaced but hard-hitting jazz-funk from trumpeter Eddie Henderson and company that I recently had the pleasure of listening to while walking around Loch Raven reservoir, high on hydrocodone and muscle relaxers. (I realize that this is the second post in a row in which I've mentioned being high on pills, but I refuse to put effort into these little blurbs, so you can take it or leave it.)

Track listing:
1. Explodition
2. The Kumquat Kids
3. Sunburst
4. Involuntary Bliss
5. Hop Scotch
6. Galaxy
7. We End in a Dream
