Good records and arguably, even better descriptions:
"Sweet Maya ??? Sweet Maya ??? (no label)
VG+ / NM-
$65
As featured in the sadly late Leftfield Americana. If you've ever been visiting out-of-town relatives and been dragged along to some bullshit waterfront art fair (it's always named Riverfest or Riverwalk or River-something), and if you've ever threaded your resentful way through the stalls of burled walnut and handmade dulcimers and lumpy jewelry made from old other things and shapeless home-sewn caftans in umpteen shades of russet, all watched over by artisans perched tensely on too-tall captains chairs, each holding back with varying degrees of success the waves of bile within, then you may have strayed close enough to the band shell to have heard something like this record: funk-informed jazz fusion on its surface, in places edging into an AOR moody and smooth, but still somehow barbed with bad vibes. It's all very breezy, yet wheeling and tense. I gotta get the fuck out of here."

HILARIOUS!
THIS.
Love this plug for the Barduhn LP:
"I have it on third-hand authority (my man and yours JRoot told me that his brother told him) that jefe Dave Barduhn is something of a dickhead. Though I'm also led to understand that his powder-white leonine mane remains impressive"
:roar:
