Eric Hochberg & Andy Potter




Eric Hochberg and Andy Potter.
World Thing.

Recorded at Acme Studios, Chicago 1976.
HoPo HP111 Records.

The utterly beautiful title track from this fairly obscure private press album from Chicago. All the artwork with all the listings information is over at Justjazzart. Think Ensemble Al-Salaam with a touch more soul ...

Real sweet

Audio Directions presents the Grab Bag


Audio Directions presents the Grab Bag.
Recorded at Sound Stage Studios, Nashville, Tennessee, 1976.
Private Pressing, Direct to Disk.

Only one track, but in my opinion, the best one from this little known album. Emergence features the talents of Ron Oates on piano and clavinette, Randy Goodrum on Fender Rhodes and Sheri Kramer / Diane Tidwell on vocals. I won't list all the artists here, however, i noticed Billy Puett is in the mix on reeds. Billy Puett played a major part in the Earth Blossom album by the John Betsch Society (Strata East 19748) He wrote 2 of the tracks on that lp, Ra and Get up and Go. Darling Doria from that lp can be found in the zipfile as well.

The Leszek Zadlo Ensamble.

Forget the Private Press moniker, this one comes in a hand-made sleeve.

Check out the cut-out letters on the front cover scan. It's the same story on the back, with cut-outs for the pictures of the artists.

like, wow ...
