  3. Billy Cobham - Spectrum

    It’s not just that George Duke is in there…this could almost be a Zappa album. I don’t know who influenced who, but there was definitely some cross-pollination going on.

    Also rather fun when you hear a song (in this case, Stratus) and realize that the very distinctive bass line, drums, and guitar were sampled by someone…here, Massive Attack’s Safe From Harm.

  4. For less-than no reason, the theme song from the 1990's animated series #GoofTroop popped into my head. Even not having heard the song in well over a decade, it struck me in my thoughts:

    "Was the singer of the Goof Troop theme actually an incredible vocalist?"

    I listened to it. He WAS an incredible vocalist! But WHO is it?

    I looked it up, and the vocalist in question is #PhilPerry - here he is performing with #GeorgeDuke at #Montreaux.

    The control Perry has over his voice is humbling. He has fantastic pitch and as importantly, dynamic. This man is IMPRESSIVE. I can't believe I'd never heard of him.

  9. (edit: updated YT link w/better mix)

    Another finished tune this week, chill retro-jazz-funk– very summery, I think. A bit of analog, a bit of digital, inspiration from #PaulHardcastle, #RahBand, #Sade, #GeorgeDuke and #AnitaBaker, and a Splice vocal line that may or may not have been used a thousand times over on top, is what this is.
