Sundog Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Just heard their version of Mello Yellow. Why haven't I been made aware of these guys? Based on that one song I'm hooked, sign me up, I need it. Killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that one song I'm hooked, sign me up, I need it. Killer! ← Agreed! This band is a real find! They made several LP's for Cadet in the late 60's - "Mellow Yellow" is the best of them. Both tenor players, Artee "Duke" Payne and Thomas Purvis are MF's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodigrind Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 My Avatar is there for a reason. This album is one of my all-time favorites. Pure fun and funk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 For the jazzier side of the group, try to find their first Cadet album, Raising the Roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I'm sure I will be tracking down a bunch of their material before too long. Mellow Yellow, Raising The Roof, and Ducky seem to get consistently good reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best route is used vinyl? Now, if Mosaic would only..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Mostly "Soul Jazz" of a very gritty, late-60s Chicago organ-band quality. I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 ... and don't forget the hit song that Odell penned with Marvin Gaye in the early 80's. I have most of this stuff on vinyl... it's very fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodigrind Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Does anyone know the personnel on Odell Brown’s 1974 self titled album on Paula Records. Man it is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 I can hardly believe that I haven't chimed in here already. I own both the aforementioned Mellow Yellow and the previously not mentioned Plays Otis Redding. Guys like this are the rank & file/line staff of music, dig it.
