happy b-day
-the cal green is great jazzy stuff...another long time want hooked up by a fellow strutteur!
-the frasier macpherson has a nice version of "sunshine superman" and a couple other good ones.
-nimmons now! hasw a bunch of crappy covers ("hey jude") mixed with a few funky originals like "chips and gravy" and "lip flap"
-dave robbins band is middling but has a nice big band version of "games people play" with wah wah guitar by future pacific salt member oliver gannon and early sly stone-esque arrangment.
-michel madore is some cosmic quebecoise stuff...not too too bad. reminds me of that mps band "pork pie".

-nicoletta is a french bargain bin record with an awfully good version of jorge ben's "filo marvilha" (although the rest of the album is plain awful)

-ron cornelius album is interesting, need to give this more time t grow on me. the acoustic, instrumental track at the end of side 1 pretty much blew me away when i heard it.
-"reel to real" (great title!!) is i presume the album where arthur lee went all out funk. killer version of soulstrut favourite "be thankful for what you got" and there is a smoking track with harvey mandel
