Sometimes the pre-game can be almost as eye-opening as the actual game. In this case, this first encounter between soul jazz organ legend-turned-fusioneer Johnny Hammond (he’d dropped the “Smith” from his surname a few years earlier) and producer extraordinaire Larry Mizell was a dry run of sorts for the album they’d go on to make the following year, 1975’s landmark Gears. Although not as distinct and concise as that album, this one wins by occupying its own distinctive sonic space, one that gleefully avails itself of the new synthesizers flooding the market at the time and that were being greatly popularized around this same time by Herbie Hancock. The synths and Fender Rhodes are the main attraction here keyboard-wise instead of the instrument that gave the artist his surname. There are lots of sublime moments on this album even when you know that it’s merely a warmup for what would turn out to be one of the greatest and most revered and influential jazz-funk albums ever released. #johnnyhammond #gamblerslife #1974 #salvationrecords #mizellbrothers #larrymizell #foncemizell #jazzfunkessentials #rhodesianthoroughfare #thisyearsdream #starborne #backtotheprojects #yesterdaywascool #virgolady #callonme

Now playing in stereo, 1975 (OG Pitman pressing). : Happy Birthday to @bobbihumphrey who slayed the jazz world throughout the 70’s with her groovy tunes and mad flute skills! This album is really fun with overtones of funk and disco. The chorus vocals don’t overtake the songs and seem to really fit. The Mizell brothers had their hands all over this from producing, writing, arranging and playing instruments and it shows. Also, on a side note, if you find it difficult to find any affordable Dorothy Ashby records, she shows up on this record. 😉 Shout out to @vinylheadz for this clean copy from your @discogs store some time back! : #bobbihumphrey - flute & vocals #foncemizell - conductor, clavinet, synthesizer, trumpet, vocals, arrangements #larrymizell - producer, conductor, piano, electric piano, synthesizer & vocals #oscarbrashear - trumpet #julianpriester - trombone #tyreeglennjr - tenor sax #skipscarborough #jerrypeters - piano & electric pianos, clavinet & synth #dorothyashby - harp #rogerglenn - vibes & marimba #craigmcmullen #johnrowin - guitar #chuckrainey - bass #harveymason - drums #mayutocorrea - congas #sigidi - conductor #chuckdavis - producer, mixing & stereo ambience enhancer #stevemaslow - engineer & mixing #bobcato #lloydziff - art direction #rialewerke - design #barbaranessim - illustration #bluenote #bluenoterecords - label : #jazz #jazzvinyl #fancydancer #jazzfunk #jazzdisco #discogs

Bobbi Humphrey- Just a Love Child The legendary flautist recorded six albums for Blue Note Records during the decade of the 1970’s. Taken from her third release, her most significant, Humphrey would earn an R&B crossover appeal and an invitation to play at the Montreux Jazz Festival that same year. Collaborating with the Mizell brothers, the album has become a delightful jazz-funk classic.

『Reachin'』/ Roger Glenn 第1201回は、ドナルド・バードやボビー・ハンフリーのヒット・アルバムの制作で有名なマイゼル兄弟の片腕としてバックを支えたロジャー・グレンのこのアルバムを選んでみました🎵70年代初頭に設立されたマイゼル兄弟の会社、スカイ・ハイ・プロダクションズの制作するジャズ・ファンクの名盤にフルート/ヴィブラフォン奏者として参加していたロジャー・グレンのソロということで、作曲とプロデュースは全面的にマイゼル兄弟がバックアップしている🤗但し兄弟以外のメンバーがいつものチャック・レイニー、ハーヴィー・メイソン、デヴィッド・T・ウォーカーではなく、ポール・ジャクソン、ビル・サマーズ、ゲイロード・バーチらヘッド・ハンターズ周辺のメンバーになっている。その点が爽快なジャズ・ファンク路線といよりもっと土臭い黒いファンクになっているよう思います😊私的な感じとしては、長年の協力、貢献に対する慰労の意味があるような気がします😅ジャケットもドナルド・バードのアルバムに似ていてニヤけてしまいます🤣 #reachin #rogerglenn #mizellbrothers #foncemizell #larrymizell #pauljackson #billsummers #jazzfunk #fusion #funk #jazzvibraphone #skyhighproductions

#nowspinning • Donald Byrd • Places and Spaces • 1975 • Blue Note • 2021, Blue Note Soul jazz is not smooth jazz and should never be confused. Got that? Good. Now read on. Fusty jazz crits hated Donald Byrd’s foray into soul jazz, and made their views well known both at the time, and now. How dare someone who once shared a bandstand with John Coltrane sully himself with the likes of Larry Mizell and have, *gasp* disco strings? Luckily, we’re not beholden to the opinions of the newsprint, and we can make up our own minds. Which is just as well because Donald Byrd’s Places and Spaces is one of THE go-to albums in my collection when I simply need a lift. As much as I love much of Blue Note’s catalogue, nothing does it for me quite like this. Yes. I reach for this more than I do Lee Morgan’s Sidewinder. Come at me. I read someone say that Places and Spaces should be available on prescription. And actually, I can’t argue with that. The compositions are full of melodic richness, and the arrangements, although necessarily syrupy, really hit the mark. There’s something about the recording and mix as well which feels just right; everything clear and present, but never shrill or harsh. It’s an outstanding listen. I often have the title track as an earworm, and it’s actually one that I never mind having. In this harsh and unforgiving world, it’s an incredible thing that we have things like this that take us to a better place. I was up frighteningly early this morning, but seized the opportunity to have a positive start to the day. And this is what I put on. Read into this.

Slick as you like, probably not one for the purists but I’m all over this. About 30 minutes ago I fell asleep putting my son to bed…I put this on and got a second wind. Big Friday night vibes from a massive cast polished to a funky sheen by the Mizells. Some surprising names cropping up here: Motown bass legend James Jamerson drops in, Patrice Rushen Alphonse Mouzon and a badass horn section with Gary Bartz and Ernie Watts. I always had a feeling that this might be one of Byrd’s lesser albums as it’s cheap and easy to find…I got that wrong, this funks hard. Thanks to @jazzbasementlouis for pointing this out on the bay of E. #donaldbyrd #alphonsemouzon #harveymason #patricerushen #foncemizell #jerrypeters #skipscarborough #davidtwalker #jamesjamerson #stephaniespruill #oscarbrashear #garybartz #erniewatts #georgebohannon #larrymizell #mildredlane #bluenoterecords #bluenote #jazzcommunity #jazzcollection #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #igjazzvinyl #igvinylclub #igvinyl #igvinylcommunity #instavinyl #instajazz #albumcover #alhirschfeld

Donald Byrd - Places and Spaces (1975) Irresistible music, turning up some heat on a cold and snowy Sunday night. Funky, suave, and hypnotic, but with enough edge and complexity to keep the listener engaged. My favorite of #DonaldByrd's collaborations with the supremely talented #MizellBrothers, but I had procrastinated picking up an original copy. Came across this less-than-glorious cover housing a minty record on a recent trip to DC and decided it should come back to Jersey with me. Very glad I finally got it on the turntable, it sounds HEAVY--the big punchy bass was a welcome surprise. I don't think people care much about the narrative around Byrd's work with the Mizell brothers (serious jazz musician goes mainstream) anymore, but just in case you've been wary: check this out. There's a lot more happening here than you might expect, both in Byrd's fluid and spry playing and in the arrangements. The recent Classic Series reissue let more people know about how quality this is, and although prices have been creeping up (part of the reason I grabbed this copy!), it's still a steal for the fantastic music you'll get. #onmyturntable #nowspinning #jazz #jazzvinyl #jazzvinylcommunity #jazzrecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #larrymizell #foncemizell #chuckrainey #harveymason #tyreeglennjr #skipscarborough #craigmcmullen #johnrowin #georgebohanon #raymondbrown #kayhaith #kingerrison #mayutocorrea #bluenote #bluenoterecords

Let’s welcome this #affordablefunk record, produced by the incredible Mizell Brothers. Normally you won’t find affordable records by the Mizell Brothers since a long time. Luckily I found one last year and it wasn’t easy, since nowadays I mostly find their other albums. Upon first listen the record does not sound like a typical Mizell-produced record. One of the reasons is that L.T.D. was already an existing band with musicians. For other Mizell productions, such as “Gears”, they used the same session musicians that were handpicked by the brothers. That’s one of the reasons why their productions sound so consistent. Only for L.T.D. things worked differently, because there was no other way for the brother but to use the musicians of L.T.D. self. Still it’s a very nice sounding record, songs like “Love Ballad” and “Love To The World” are great songs. “Love To The World” is my favorite one, love the voice of Jeffrey Osborne. According to Larry Mizell they coincidentally discovered Jeffrey Osborne as a lead singer, because he was the drummer at first. Between the studio sessions they heard Jeffrey sing, the Mizell Brothers were starstruck of his vocals. So they decided to let hem sing all the lead parts on the album. Enjoy this affordablefunk record. - M - #ltd #lovetotheworld #jeffreyosborne #billyosborne #mizellbrothers #larrymizell #foncemizell #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinyljazzcollector #cratedigging #cratediggers #fow #factsonwax

Donald Byrd - Places and Spaces (1975) A lot of “Jazz-heads” have a lot of negative things to say about this era of the Jazz-legend Donald Byrd’s career but it has some of my favorite songs he’s produced in his amazing discography. It’s the fourth Mizell brothers produced album from him and it’s my favorite! It’s got lush strings, funky bass lines, catchy hooks and Donald Byrd trumpet solos. It’s been sampled many times by Hip Hop greats because of its polished sound. “(Feelin’ Like) Dominoes” & the title track are frequently played during my dj sets because “it gets the people goin’!” #donaldbyrd #mizell #mizellbrothers #foncemizell #larrymizell #spacesandplaces #dominoes #jazzfunk #jazz #jazzmusic #bluenote #bluenoterecords #vinyl #vinylcollection #recordcollection #vinylcommunity #cratedigging #recordcommunity #raregroove #raregrooves #nowspinning #hiphopsamples #samples #hiphopculture #originalpressing #jazzvinyl

Top, top album. Ethereal, layered, beautiful and grooving in a languid, head-nodding kind of way. It’s just the #SkyHighProductions touch. #RogerGlenn gets his own album after playing on some great sessions of the early 70s. He brought his flute, alto flute, and bass flute to #FantasyStudios, as well as some mallets for the studio vibes. There are some seasoned musicians bringing the sazón, but three stand out for me. #PaulJackson “the Black Octopus” brings the PHONK. #GaylordBirch on the kit is not afraid to let the cymbals sustain throughout an entire song, and his tight rhythms and fills are tast-ee. And #BillSummers, whose congas, bata, and auxiliary percussion sprinkle each song with that ineffable quality that excites and reverberates inside my body. Yeah, this is one of my favorites and shame I don’t listen enough. Check “Don’t Leave” and “E.B.F.S.” #marksoskin #larrymizell #foncemizell #rayobiedo #babaduru #moodipeters #ericyoung #butchhaynes #orrinkeepnews #jazzfunk #latinjazz #jazzdance #jazzvinyl #soulmusic #jazzrecord

In the late 60s, jazz legend Donald Byrd started exploring new sounds, moving away from hard bop and into fusion and R&B. He teamed up with the Mizell Brothers for his best-selling album „Black Byrd“ in 1973, which gave us the funky title track that climbed the charts. The title of this album has inspired the name of Byrd’s apprentice group, The #Blackbyrds. What a romantic notion, to have such an impact on the world of music that your legacy lives on through the names of others. Let us bask in the beauty of Black Byrd, and let its soulful melodies transport us to a place of pure bliss. For when we listen to this album, we are not just listening to music - we are experiencing a moment in time that will stay with us forever. Whether you’re a traveler or a musician, Black Byrd is sure to transport you to new heights. #DonaldByrd #AllanCurtisBarnes #RogerGlenn #FonceMizell #LarryMizell #KevinToney #FreddiePerren #DeanParks #DavidTWalker #BarneyPerry #JoeSample #ChuckRainey #WiltonFelder #JoeHill #HarveyMason #KeithKillgo #BobbyeHallPorter #StephanieSpruill #KingErrisson #bluenote #bluenoterecords #jazz #jazzrecords #jazzfunk #vinyl #jazzvinyl #recordcollection #instavinyl #vinyladdict

You know those records that we were all dead excited to grab as soon as they came out? Are we still playing them as regularly as we should? I’ve slightly ignored this one since picking it up year ago if truth be told. This is exactly the sort of thing I moan at my son for when he gets a toy or some Lego and is immediately thinking about the next one…except he’s 40 years younger than me and can be forgiven for not knowing better. Donald Byrd in his absolute funk prime, kicking it live with an awesome finely honed group…I should be playing this every day. One thing I did pick up on this time that I didn’t before, there’s a keyboard sound on ‘you’ve got it bad girl’ that’s exactly what The Blackbyrds used on ‘Rock Creek Park’ a couple of years later…the sort of boring detail that somehow delights me. Byrd and The Mizells were a great combination but it’s the two guys who weren’t regular band members that really raise the temperature on this, Henry Franklin and Nathan Davis are absolutely fantastic. Absolute banger and if that’s enough there’s full video of the gig on YouTube with Byrd resplendent in double denim, triple if you count the hat.

Donald Byrd- You and Music The collaboration continues with the late trumpeter and Mizell brothers production crew setting the stage for a series of albums released during the jazz-funk era of the early to mid 1970’s. One of the popular tracks off the album, “Fallin’ Like Dominoes” was released by Blue Note as a 12-inch single for club play. One of the trumpeter’s most essential albums.

『Stepping Into Tomorrow』/ Donald Byrd 第1152回は、ジャズ好きの方には不評な時期のドナルド・バードのこのアルバムを選んでみました🎺様々なスタイルで自身の可能性に挑戦した彼の全てのアルバムが好きだという方はそんなにいないかもしれないが、ボーカルをフューチャーし、ファンク・フュージョンともいえるややポップなサウンドも彼のサウンドであり、魅力的な内容だと思う🤗エリカ・バドゥもカヴァーした「シンク・トゥワイス」は人気曲だし、DJやヒップホップのミュージシャンにサンプリングされたりと、古いジャズには無い都会的でスペイシーなサウンドとチャック・レイニーとハーヴィー・メイソンの極上のグルーヴがカッコイイ一枚👍 #steppingintotomorrow #dnaldbyrd #chuckrainey #harveymason #garybartz #foncemizell #davidtwalker #larrymizell #jazz #fusion #jazzfunk #funk #funkfusion

ディスコ・チューン「Boogie Oogie Oogie」のヒットで知られるL.A.のバンド、ア・テイスト・オブ・ハニー。 1stアルバム『A Taste Of Honey(1978年)』を取り上げたときにも書きましたが、フロントの女子おふたり、ジャニス・マリー・ジョンソン(b)とヘイゼル・ペイン(g)の立ち姿が華ありすぎです。ヴォーカリストとしてもめちゃくちゃ魅力的ですし、ソングライターとしても優れてるんですから。やばいです。 個人的には1stアルバムの方が好きではありますが、写真の2nd『Another Taste』も “別の味” が楽しめて良いんですよね。 前作に続いてマイゼル兄弟によるスカイ・ハイ・プロダクションがプロデュースしていることが、本作の大きなトピックです。多幸感と高揚感をぐいぐいアゲてくれるスカイ・ハイが施すマジックは、言うまでもなく最っ高です。 もうひとつのトピックはやはり、人気曲「I Love You」を収録していることでしょうね。レア・グルーヴ/フリーソウル界隈で愛され続ける、ハッピーなヴァイブスに溢れたクラシックです。同様に「Let's Begin」もスウィート&メロウな名曲。 そしてダンサブルな佳曲を並べたA面からは、「ディスコ/ブギー色の強いバンド」という世間からのイメージをいたずらに覆すことなく、期待に応えようとした想いが伝わります。とりわけヘイゼルのラヴリーな作品「The Rainbow's End」から、ベースのリフが引っ張るジャニスの「Dance」へと続く流れが素晴らしいと思います。 A Taste Of Honey 「Another Taste」 1979年/Capitol Records/LP Disco・Funk/USオリジナル盤 #Disco #Funk #Soul #Boogie #ATasteOfHoney #JaniceMJohnson #HazelPPayne #PerryLKibble #DonaldRJohnson #FonceMizell #LarryMizell #SkyHighProductions #CapitolRecords #LP #record #vinyl #US #USオリジナル盤 #USoriginal #アナログ #ジャケ #レコード #ディスコ #スカイハイプロダクションズ #ジャニスマリージョンソン #ヘイゼルペイン #テイストオブハニー #アテイストオブハニー

Edwin Starr “Hell Up In Harlem”, 1974 Alphonso (Fonce) Mizell and Freddie Perren had worked as equal partners before on albums with Eleanor Brown, The Miracles and Jermaine Jackson, but this album presented another player of importance - the singer Edwin Starr and his powerhouse of a voice! Mizell and Perren produced and arranged this motion picture soundtrack album. They also wrote the music, the songs and they did with Starr in mind cause it’s actually not that different than work he’d been doing with Norman Whitfield. What I’m trying to say is that the songs really fit Starr like a hand in glove! It’s music on the verge of Blaxplotation and it’s suited for the movies, yet it’s another great Edwin Starr album! Larry Mizell is present as a musician only. Other great musicians are Chuck Rainey, Jay Grayson, Dennis Coffey, Ed Greene and Joe Sample! With that said, it’s easier to understand why this album is an essential in the Edwin Starr discography! . . . . #soulmusic #funk #funkymusic #funkygroove #soul #groovymusic #soulvibrations #sweetsoulmusic #modernsoul #soulfunk #70ssoul #samples #vinylcommunity #recordcollection #rarevinyl #blackmusic #musiccity #cratediggin #vinylcollection #ost #mizellbrothers #foncemizell #edwinstarr

Bobbi Humphrey - Satin Doll 1974 Blue Note, US Bobbi Humphrey I believe could have been was the first female instrumentalist lead to be signed by Blue Note in 1971. Here in her true form she displays her wonderful range not just as a flautist, but as a singer too 🎶❤️👌🏽 Love the Mizzell brothers 70s output and not just for Blue Note. So much good soul funk jazz going on. #BobbiHumphrey #LarryMizell #FonceMizell #MizellBrothers #WahWahWatson #ChuckRainey #HarveyMason #KingErrisson #BlueNoteRecords #BlueNoteBreakbeats #soulfunkjazz #souljazz #funkjazz #jazz #jazzrecords #jazzcollection #jazzvinyl #jazzonvinyl #jazzvinylcollector #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcollection #vinyllove #recordcollector #recordcollection #cratedigging #cratedigger #vinylcommunity #jazzcommunity #33rpm

Donald Byrd- Lansana’s Priestress The follow-up to the wildly successful “Blackbyrd” and the collaboration continues with the late trumpeter with compositions composed by Larry and Fonce Mizell. Recorded for the Blue Note label, Byrd and the Mizell brothers would produce a string of albums together that would define jazz-funk and lay the foundation for acid jazz and neo soul. Both albums were released 50 years ago this year.
