Albums in high rotation

I have to thank Lafayette over at 4 Brothers Beats. Over the last few weeks he has gone above and beyond in sharing some extremely rare jazz, fusion and r&b records. These albums in high rotation of late reflect his direct influence:

George Duke- Faces In Reflection
George Duke- Inner Source
George Duke- The 1976 Solo Keyboard Album*
George Duke- Reach For It
Syreeta- Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta
100% Pure Poison- Coming Right At You
Bernard Wright- ‘Nard**

*my favorite album title in a long, long time!
**another classic!

Heart- Little Queen (Side A)

“Sylvan Song/Dream Of The Archer” is really breath-taking stuff. Unfortunately Little Queen can’t keep up the full head of steam that starts off with “Barracuda”, “Love Alive” and these two songs. For nearly twenty minutes it is, however, some of the best Led Zeppelin/Joni Mitchell soup I’ve heard.

The Angels Of Light- “Black River Song”
