Just a Monday afternoon quicky here: a moderately great session led by the tragically overlooked Johnny Lytle. This isn't my favorite of his recordings but it certainly isn't bad, and Miloramona over at anythingbuttherecords.blogspot.com had it up as a request so I thought I'd throw it up here.
It's early 70's jazz funk, replete with scratchy guitar and funky drums and the obligatory percussion of the 1970s (those were good years to be a percussionist man!). Though my tone probably doesn't make you want to run it right down don't be fooled, the album is certainly worth a listen!
Link is in the comments, please leave one too!

Thank you so much!
THANK YOU!
I am a huge Johnny Lytle fan, but I've got a few holes in my collection. I've got everything that was ever released on CD, but other stuff is more difficult to come by, especially when you're broke and so is your turntable! Some stuff has come out on blogs, like "People & Love," and some loose tunes like "Babo" from the European-only LP that Bill mentioned."Minor Soul," a track from the other LP Bill mentioned can be found on the Blue Note compilation "So Blue So Funky vol. 2." I had a couple of loose tracks from "The Soulful Rebel," and I am so grateful to now have a chance to hear the whole thing! You've really made my day!
Thanks again.
Fantastic!
