Curtis Fuller- The Opener (1957)- ****

Curtis Fuller Two Bones (1980)- ***1/2
(Nice 1958 session for Blue Note with Sonny Clark, released in 1980. Good stuff, but after "The Opener," it makes sense that this session remained unreleased. "The Opener" really cooks.)

(Happy Birthday to the Queen.)



It's A Good, Good Feeling: The Latin Soul Of Fania Records: The Singles (2021)- ***1/2
The James Gang- Yer Album (1969)- ****

Motorhead- Overkill (1979)- ****
(This is where I came in and never left.)

Isn't 'Love is the Foundation' a beautiful album? Just gorgeous. Can't wait for FQF this spring.
