jj> The CTI (and their sister label KUDU) roster reads like a who's who
of
jj> soul jazz (and even 'regular' jazz for that matter). They put out
the
jj> classic tunes that people still sample. And to top it off, Bob
James
jj> was one of the in-house producer/arrangers (and we only need
"Nautilus"
jj> to know about his validity) Here's a partial list from the top of
my
jj> head: Grover Washington Jr., Milt Jackson, Freddie Hubbard, Johnny
jj> Hammond, Stanley Turrentine, Idris Muhammad (two words: "Loran's
jj> Dance"), Eric Gale, Joe Beck, Joe Farrell, Jim Hall, Paul Desmond,
Art
jj> Farmer, Randy Weston, Ron Carter, Esther Phillips, Don Sebesky and
jj> that's only to name a few!!!
cti was kinda "inter-label", i.e. different artists that recorded for
cti,
were actually signed to different labels (e.g. grover washington jr.
was
actually a motown artist, whereas wes montgomery was an a&m
artist--both did
records for cti). btw, hubert laws & george benson are 2 more names
you can
add to the list...
a few cti classics i own:
bob james "2" (there's four of them, by number--get them all! nautilus
is
on
"1")
grover washington jr. "it feels so good", "mr. magic"
wes montgomery "down here on the ground"
-t
p.s. did idris record "loran's dance", too? it's on an old grover
album i
have on kudu.
... we're on award tour w/mohammed my man...-tribe called quest
