Please do more of the great Tappan Zee/CTI/New York musicians like Eric Gale, Ralph McDonald, Gary King, Wilbert Longmire, Steve Gadd, Cornell Dupree and others that turned backup playing into magic. Just the other day I thought of Charles McCracken and Harry Lookofsky, two of the players that tipped the 'buy it!' scale when I prowled used record stores in the 80s and 90s.
So many great 70s and 80s albums never got reissued on CD in the US and haven't shown up on Spotify yet: The Writers eponymous first album and the sophomore disc All in Fun, Gap Mangione's Street Lady, Tom Scott's Blow It Out, and High Gear by Neil Larsen.
My GOD! Every cut on that Montreaux album is fantastic! Thank you! Thank you!
