i still like them up till at least '75. dig the albums "open our eyes",
"gratitude" (1/2 of it is live--that's the *dope* shit), hell i even like
"spirit"--how can you not groove on "burnin' bush"? when larry dunn (keys)
left the group that was the beginning of the end...
ji> The Pharoahs--Luv n Haight's rerelease of Awakenings and their own
ji> compilation From the Basement are some more excellent fusions of jazz
ji> with r&b. Their rendition of "Tracks of my Tears" has made me
ji> reappreciate a song that grew tired in my childhood due to my mother's
ji> love of "soft-rock" stations on the radio. The B side to Awakenings in
ji> particular has a brilliant ten minute long funk-jazz jam. Excuse my
ji> screaming, but: ANYONE INTO "RARE GROOVE" OR OLD R&B HAS TO GET THIS
ji> RELEASE. Check out samples at Ubiquity's web site.
isn't this an early incarnation of ewf?
