Bob Azzam - Garden Of Love

Here's a rare swedish record that I found for virtually nothing at a flea market. Personally I don't like it that much. Too much cheese for my taste. But since there is people willing to pay 400 dollars for it, I ripped it anyway. Because I'm just that nice.

Let's Celebrate


The Birds Are Happy


Punch And Judy


The most famous track from this album is Let's Celebrate but I like the other examples posted above better.

Jeremy Steig - Wayfaring Stranger

Funky flute released on Blue Note in 1970. Players are Don Allas on drums, Eddie Gomez on bass, Sam Brown on guitar (on Wayfaring Stranger) and Jeremy Steig on flute.

Mint Tea


The group kicks up a stone groove on four of the tunes and Gomez and Steig kick up a stoned groove (well, perhaps groove isn't the right word) for the other two. The last two tracks have some sounds of vinyl on them. Nothing too bad, just thought I'd mention it in case you're a vinyl-nazi or something.

1. In The Beginning
2. Mint Tea
3. Wayfaring Stranger
4. Waves
5. All Is One
6. Space

Kim Weston - Kim Kim Kim

Kim Weston released this great soul album in 1970 on the Volt label. If you'd like, you could see this as a tribute post to Isaac Hayes, who recently passed away. Isaac is credited as one of three producers on this record. Great, powerful soul, with a sometimes funky edge. Kim really puts it down on this album.

1. You Just Don't Know.
2. The Love I've Been Looking For
3. What Could Be Better
4. When Something Is Wrong With My Baby
5. Love Vibrations
