Such great heights

I don't know how you pass the time while you're performing monotonous tasks, but I always like to have music as a companion. These guys seemed to agree, and they created the coolest thing I've heard in quite some time. From 1975. Wonder what happened to them.

WMFU's Web site has a lot of other interesting stuff, for free. (The John Lennon radio scan, on the December 2005 page, is a trip, too.)


FMFM: The George Benson Cookbook, a warmly swinging date similar to It's Uptown and featuring organist Lonnie Smith. The jacket does not list a bassist, which seems to indicate that the relentless walking bass parts on "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid" (and elsewhere) are played by Lonnie's left foot. Wow!
