Also an incredible record to just sit and listen...
I also recommend some of Billy Cobhams records like Spectrum
and Funky Side of Things and Crosswinds. He throws a lot of
solos on there, some of the drum sounds are electronically-triggered
... so you get all kinds of fat beats with crazy sounds interspersed...
one last find - a record by guitarist Jim Hall called Where Would I Be.
It features Airto on drums and percussion and has this one song with
a fat uptempo samba break.
happy diggin
BTW that Buddy Rich and Allah Rakha record sounds nuts.
I also like Nonesuch Record's Explorer series...
