new to my ears...I only have the Billy Parker "Freedom of Speech" LP and I just got Carlos Garnett "Black Love" and she is killing it on "Banks of the Nile". I need more of her stuff in this vein..what should I look for? thanks in advance...
 
I'd say so

Good deal for the price IMO.

afro blue on trio is a must
Is this, for lack of a better term, a facemelter? I've seen it but never copped.

no.
I didn't know you were a connosouir of spiritual jazz.
 
i need the Afro Blue and Billy Parker joints...

But yeah, i was thinking of starting a thread on this a while back. In the 70s, DeeDee was killing it on some guest appearances.

to me the most

is "now I'll Sleep" from Charles Sullivan- Genesis. others:

Norman Connors- Love from the Sun
" " - Dark of Light
Frank Foster- Loud Minority
Stanley Clarke- Children of Forever

i know there's more, please add on.
 
Her live in paris lp is pretty hot. All Blues is str8 lava!!!

She also sings on the original Wiz soundtrack, but that's not jazz.
Check her in Brother From Another Planet- movie. I wonder if that has a soundtrk?

Her version of "It's The Falling In Love" is interesting compared to M.Jackson'sOTWALL Version.

Im definitely not. Probably why it didnt melt my face. So dont take my word for it i guess. Its definitely a classic to some people.

 
She used to be with Roy Ayer's Ubiquity in the early/mid 70's. Without checking, I'm sure she's the featured vocalist on "Time and Space". Niiice track.

I also heard a smokin' version of "How High The Moon" on the radio a few years back, which I guess from the applause is from a live set. I gotta get that one still. Is this the French one?

I have that on a Charley sampler CD, I always wondered where that came from too.

I really like her R&B Lps, the s/t one and 'Just Family' are pretty sweet. Not really spiritual jazz, but sweet.
Her version of 'She's Gone' is outta this world!
