Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections ā€” from record digging and DJing around the globe ā€” coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

I looked at a few pages of discogs 'jazz 1974' filters and a few that stuck out:
Weldon Irvine 'Cosmic Vortex'
Ahmad Jamal 'Jamalca'
Ramsey Lewis 'Sun Goddess'
And Layers shows as 1973.

Oh wow, I've never heard the 'Obsession' album from Bob James, 1986. Discogs category both 'jazz funk' and 'synth pop' so I gotta hear that one.
