Soundtrack to the film Klute, Michael Small.
I might be exaggerating, but I don't think I have heard so many idea's and tension in so few notes. The music from the titles section is particularly mighty. This captures that west coast Fender Rhodes vibe of 1971 perfectly. I just learn't he composed the music for China Syndrome, but it was dropped from the film.
Jan Akkerman. C.U (from 2003)
Jan had been 'up country' to a rave or some disco in a field. This collaboration with the people who were putting out some 'beats' is so good. Not only does he play 'lead' with his typical panache and verve, it also demonstrates his spectacular ability a Rhythm player. Have a look at some reviews on Amazon. Those widdler merchants widdly would do well to listen here whilst scalloping out their Fender Strat fret boards.
Harold McNair The Fence.
A B+C LP from 1970.
Jazz flute, and a treated electric Sax at its best. Any sniggering at th jazz flute will be immediately thwarted by lissening to this LP. The man was a demon musician and died soon after at age 39. You can hear one of the pianists playing the coltrane line out of F.Things which is really nice.
