John Hassell
Fascinoma

Giving this another listen. It was one of the first SACDs I bought ~12 years ago and I just couldn't appreciate it. I'm liking it better tonight, but still won't make it into my Top 10 (or 100).

Brother Jack McDuff: Bringin' It Home '99

Starchild, if you like Steve Gadd you might want to check out the group Stuff . Gadd, Richard Tee, Eric Gale, and some other top studio musicians formed the group & put out a few albums years back. Smooth & funky.

Thanks Arthur. I'll be on the look out for them. The samples at Amazon sound pretty good. I didn't know Eric Gale was still alive. I have been spending an inordinate amount of time (and money) at the Pono site lately. If you look hard enough, you can find some good deals on 44/16 flac albums at $6.39 a pop. I've been looking for this Bola Sete album for years.

A 'modern' classic imho, and still one of his best.

SC -Sadly Eric died in '94, at the young age of 55. Richard Tee passed the year before at age 50. I first saw them on the original SNL long ago. I'll have to check out Pono, thanks for the tip.

Couldn't agree more AD, a modern classic right down to the cover art. The original group made a lot of great music. Surprisingly I never saw Pat in concert.

nice guitar break from a young studio guitarist with jazz chops who was bound for pop greatness
