Yo Paulo -

Red Clay does have a full-length release; I have it!

Believe it or not, Red Clay comes from Sothern California (just like Jibe,
West Coast Harem, Greyboy/Allstars and That Phat...) They play every other
week in a club in Hollywood. Their full-length release is a self-produced
CD called "The Lower City."
very cool. It's mostly a combination of cool jazz-funk with lots of
Brazilian samba influence. And these guys are sort of related to the
Solsonics (i.e. they share certain players and also know some of them). I
found my copy by accident in a record store in Hollywood. If you want, I
can duplicate a copy for you.
