some 70's jazz fusion fo dat ass: mel martin's listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUvtCSQut6c this whole album skirts the line of good vs. cheesy smooth jazz, but has enough grit (at least for me) to enjoy it. very heavy on the steal drums atmospheres featuring clive stevens - https://www.yout...
