Some jazz fusion + funk: James Mason: Rhythm of life [Chiaroscuro, but recently repressed by Sould Brothers, UK] => Probably the best LP ever done IMHO. ``Sweat power embrace'' has so much energy... Truly amazing stuff... (Does anyone know if this was ever released as a 12"??) Cesar Camargo Mariano: Sao Paulo [Lup Som, recently repressed on CD] => Ok, this might be a bit obscure, but we should give some props to our home talents and it is also amazing. Very fast percussion and full of electronic keyboards... Santana's ``Welcome'' and ``Butterfly'' are very nice as well. If you liked G.Duke, I would recommend ``Faces in reflection'' (a D.May fave) and ``Brazilian Love Affair'' (again nice percussion + bossa nova influences). Lonnie Liston Smith's ``Visions of a New World'' and ``Expansions'' (recently re-recorded as a house verison by Scott Grooves from Detroit (?)) are more on the funk side but equally electronic and very nice. > Chick Corea "Light As a Feather" -- redeems all the prog-wank suckitude of > everything else he recorded in the 70s. Agree on this... probably his best work IMHO (But Weather Report stuff is cool, too... BTW, this reminds me of L.Garnier sitting in my car here in Sao Paulo in 1999 listing to a WR tape and saying ``Wow! What's this?'' ... ``err, Weather Report, mate'' ... ``Never heard of it. Sounds amazing! Maybe I will do such a jazzy track when I get back home''...) > Airto "Fingers" -- his best work. Source for the sample > in MAW "Bela Horizonte" Can't disagree more!!! This is good, but check ``Natural Feelings'' (w/ Flora, Hermeto Pascoal, Sivuca) and specially ``Identity'' (this was a C.Craig fave, too). > Miroslav Vitous "Mountains In The Clouds" -- abstract, amazing. Don't know this! Any more details, pls?! Greetings, Guilherme
