Most of their output succeeds neither as jazz nor as funk.

"Incredibly dope musicians" forced to play slick pseudojazz.
I think we (great record collectros) must admit that we are into this record game not just for the music. It's the whole object, and those gatefold CTI covers are just plain beautiful to look at.
Yes, I spend hours contemplating my CTIs (while touching myself)

The truth about great collectros emerges.
But, seriously, am I the only one that has always thought that the CTI packaging was kind of cheesy?

No, I have always thought it's cheesy as well. Good, and done pretty well, but definietly MAJOR cheese. I mean for fucks sake

I think (am I thinking too much today?) that definition of "cheesy" is related to time.

They look like some Time/Life schitt you would order off TV...
probably....that's what I love to listen to, no apologies. I love electric keyboards, Rhodes,etc and great players. I love Olinga and pretty much any record that sounds like that. Problem is, even the CTIs from that period don't all have the level of playing/composition/arrangement/care that you get from a record like that. But I think CTI maintains a pretty high ratio of successful music, at probably 35%-45% of their output. And of that percentage I really dig probably 60% of those LPs, if not more.
D**iel, you sound a bit old fogie-ish here...just sayin' is all.

PS/ I DO LOVE the sound of the drums compression on the CTI records from this period.
Not at all... but I do concur with the idea that if CTI releases were pressed only in quantities of 500 everyone would give their left nipple to have one

Yeah, probably.
I agree that in the context of the CTI discography, the early Milt Jacksons and Freddie Hubbards stand out as quality... but in the context of those two artists' entire discographies, aren't there a bunch of other records you'd reach for sooner? Wouldn't you go for something by Freddie Hubbard on Blue Note or on Impulse or on Atlantic before you'd mess with Red Clay?

The CTI apologists don't even have access to the "You're just hatting" defense, though.
Hatting implies jealousy, and I don't think even people that like that crap are actually jealous of the CTI stashes of others.
OOOOOHHHHH!!!! You CTI lovers just got BUUUURRRNNED!!!

As a whole, most of the catalogue could clear a room, though.

No one?

There's a fucking nice breakbeat on that M. Jackson LP
Am I the only person that recoils at this phrase?
