    iTunes = the new major (clueless) label.

    I know where you comin from with your last post.....

    ...However I refers to albums like this



    all those released in the "twilight" years of the label, but still more than listenable

    thanks for your help

    All the Mizell Blue Note LPs are worthwhile, then, if the Bartz-like stuff is what you desire.

    Donald Byrd-Blackbyrd/Street Lady/Caricatures/Stepping Into Tomorrow/Places and Spaces
    Bobbie Humphrey-Blacks and Blues/Fancy Dancer/Satin Doll

    also stuff like

    Ronnie Laws-Pressure Sensitive
    Ronnie Foster-On the Avenue/Cheshire Cat/Two headed Freap/Sweet Revival
    Jack McDuff-To Find a New Home

    you know that's a Mizell production, too, right?
    I am confused if this is the stuff you are looking for but don't like the Mizells.

    you know, with the Mizell's ...it's sort of Love-Hate relationship (no Homo).....

    ...I love the soundtrack they did for Edwin Starr.....I like the Bobby Humphrey albums, and the aforementioned Gary Bartz Lp too,

    but I can't get into most of the other stuff they produced...for example I don't like the first two by Byrd and Gears by Johnny Hammond

    Maybe it's just a matter of individual songs and songwriting.......

    Gary Bartz "Ghetto Fairy Tale" has some nice moments. If memory serves me correctly, I think its Prestige ca. '73.

    Leon Spencer "Where I'm Coming From" is a nice organ joint.
