One of the great bass stars of the early mid 70s, and truly one of the best bass sounds around to date, but underrated and not even known or spoken in many bass circles today. Would love to hear him put together a solo band and tour the country.

So underrated and unknown these days. Check out his work with Jazz Is Dead and the Steve Kimock Band.

sounds like Flora Purim on vocals too, this was an awesome era for "fusion" jazz.

@phillybass101 That's what Joe Zawinul use to say!
He said the "best bassists in the United States come from Philadelphia"!
"The best bassists in Africa come from Cameroon"!
