Pretty fried at the moment but I don't think anyone mentioned "Jungle
Jazz" by Kool and the Gang (the flipside instrumental to Jungle Boogie)
that has some smokin' flautin' goin' on.
David Newman also has some sweet shit.
Oh, btw, King Curtis has done some cheese but his late late 60's early
seventies albums are pretty sick. The album Get Ready is a monster that
features organist Jimmy Smith (for a brief period, he was signed to
Atlantic and you can find him doing side work on several albums),
Bernard Purdie strokin' the skins, and, of all people, Eric Clapton on a
few cuts, and actually soundin' good, rockin' out. Also, check King
Curtis' Live at the Fillmore, which features an incredible version of
"Whole Lotta Love"! Also, if you're into that more jump blues vain of
soul, check out his albums on the Tru-Sound label, all good, as well as
the more straight ahead stuff he did on Prestige.
He was stabbed in the early seventies by some asshole who flipped when
he asked the guy to move off his stoop, or something like that. What a
waste.
