ISAO SUZUKI & HIS NEW FAMILY - 1980


Isao spins both sides of the coin throwing in two groovers into a set of standards.
His bass playing is quality throughout, with able support from his new family, a highly acomplished recording.

HAL GORDON - INNER STRENGTH 1977 2 TRACKS ONLY


Percussionist Hal Gordon employs two seperate groups to record with on this date and it's with keyboardist Frank Strazzeri's two compositions that I'd like to advertise on this post, well written and played and giving Hal some freedom on congas. It's a shame this group did'nt record the whole album.


Hal Gordon - Congas & percussion
Frank Strazzeri - Keyboards
Ray Pizzi - Tenor saxophone & flute
Gene Cherico - Bass
Steve Shaffer - Drums

Ballad of the matador
Calcutta

Hal Gordon - Congas & percussion
Marty Harris - Keyboards
Theodore Nagy - Tenor & soprano saxophone
Harvey Newmark - Bass
Jimmy Smith - Drums
