Eddie Russ: See The Light (1976)


A beautiful album of spacey jazz funk! Eddie Russ was a 70s keyboard genius - right up there with Lonnie Liston Smith and Herbie Hancock in our book, although he never reached the fame of either of those players. This album's one of Eddie's best -and it's got a smoothly produced soul jazz sound that's almost a takeoff on the style of Smith's excellent records for Flying Dutchman. Tracks are uptempo and jazzy, with a strongly soulful vibe that features lots of electric keyboard work over the top of fast dancing rhythms. A few cuts have sweet female soul backup vocals, and additional instrumentation includes trumpet, sax, and guitar. (Review courtesy of Dusty Groove)

The mighty Bacoso posted this little gem last summer, but the link is long gone. Grab it now, you never know when See The Light appears again!

I remember years ago I passed this up at a 2nd hand record store in favor of some other stuff. I was planning to come back & get, thinking that no one would know about it & it would still be there, but lo & behold, to my suprise, when I came back, it was gone!! So now whenever I see this on the internet, I have to dl it every time! Hot merch!
