Forgot to include that the Bop City album features C.L. Smooth on vocals.
Also Lord Jamar & Stic-man (?) on vocals and David McMurray on sax. I
guess no one on the list has heard it yet.
A mini-review of Beck's "Odelay" in Jazziz notes that the album was
co-produced by the Dust Brothers. I haven't heard anything by Beck. What's
this one like? The review makes it sound pretty unusual: "Call it Dada
Jazz. Call it Martian Blues. Call it Extraterrestrial Twang."
