Ray Anderson Mehrlich Qrt - Hear You Say - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

When Ray Anderson was 20 years old, a severe case of diabetes impeded his plans for the future when he suffered facial paralysis on one side of his face. Then, his wife passed away after a long battle with cancer, and the trombonist fell ill with laryngeal cancer a short time later. However, nothing could break the man, who is now 62 years old. He fought successfully for his life and, above all, for his music. This virtuoso wind player from Chicago counts free music, New Orleans, funk, new music, bebop, rap, and big band among his influences. Album Tracks 1. At Home in the Muddy Water 08 50 2.

First time on CD for this 1970 Funk classic. Music from the Adventurers is Quincy Jones and the Ray Brown Orchestra's re-working of the Antonio Carlos Jobim soundtrack to the trashy Howard Robbins film the Adventures. This very rare classic funk album was also recorded in 1970, and features Tom Scott and Deodato. The album swings between big band jazz, out-and-out funk and easy listening. The album includes the heavy-breathing Funk classic 'Coming And Going,' notable for the female orgasm shrieks over the top of some funky grooves. Album Tracks 1. Polo Pony 2. Go Down Dying 3. El Lobo S March 4. Wishful Thinking 5. Gentle Lover 6. Coming and Going 7. Fat Cat Strut 8. Children's Games 9. Love Theme from InchThe AdventurersInch
