Kirk Degiorgio is a gentleman and a sport. Nose around his website and you'll find the brilliant break-out of his favourite LPs, all with little images of the covers replete with lovingly-written well-informed notes about each of the records. There are special sections on Sun Ra, the Mizell Brothers and Blue Note. It's a real treasure trove.
{Fuck, there's that sound again! It's haunting me!}
I went through the collection with a fine tooth-comb and picked out the records which I didn't have, pruned it a little and then asked Kirk which ones on my list he thought I should definitely check out. It came back thus:
BILL EVANS: Symbiosis (MPS MC22094 - 1974)
JOE FARRELL QUARTET: Joe Farrell Quartet (CTI 6003 - 1970)
DONNY HATHAWAY: Extension Of A Man (Atco SD7029 - 1973)
LINDA LEWIS: Lark (Reprise MS2120 - 1973)
EUGENE McDANIELS: Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse (Atlantic SD8281 -1971)
SERGIO MENDES & BRASIL '66: Stillness (A&M SP4284 - 1970)
RUFUS & CHAKA KHAN: ASK RUFUS (1977 ABC)
Plenty Nice!
