r/jazzfunk

Found this at Goodwill earlier this week. Was $4.99 marked down to $2.50 (50% off Grey tags that day).

Wasn’t familiar w John Klemmer and couldn’t find this record on streaming to audition first, but the typeface and cover image, along w it being released in 1974, led me to believe it might be funky, and seeing Harvey Mason on drums sealedd the deal.

Man am I glad I bought this record! Not only is it funky, it’s been growing on me w every spin (3 so far this week). Just
goes to show,
keeping an open mind pays dividends sometimes.

Richard Groove Holmes – Comin' On Home

Blue Note, US, 1971

Starting the week with this gem, released in 1976 on Marlin Records. Featuring a trio of C.T.I. legends: Grover Washington Jr. , Bob James, and Patti Austin along w Eric Gale (CBS) and Nicholas Marrero (Fania) plus a host of others.

Nothing like some funky mid-70’s jazz to get Monday morning moving. 🕺☕️
