Eddy Senay – Step By Step (1973)

Personal Note: Representing the sound of the Motor City comes the 2nd drop from Detroit’s very own funk guitar axeman, Eddy Senay. Although Eddy was labelmate to the fuzz guitar great Dennis Coffey on the Sussex label, Their styles were distinctly different. Coffey’s playing was more in a psychedelic vein while Senay’s was more of an instrumental jazz with a cool and easy going type appeal that was very close to that of Westbound label’s Donald Austin.
Detroit was a powerhouse staple for funk in the 70’s on the Sussex, Hot Wax & Westbound labels all of which enjoyed moderate success before folding in the mid-late 70’s.

Reuben Wilson AND THE COST OF LIVING
Got To Get Your Own (1975)

Personal Note: A nice slab of Jazz/Funk for Cadet Records from the great Reuben Wilson. Coming across with just the right blend of Jazz, Funk, Soul and a dash of Disco/Boogie, This album proved to be a rare move for Mr. Wilson as it was indeed different from the sides he cut over at Blue Note & Groove Merchant on earlier albums. Lots of artists were experimenting with the Clavinet and Synthesizer sounds that were dominant during the time which found Reuben stepping away from his traditional jazz style on Hammond B3 with his “Cost Of Living” band in tow playing some very funky chops on the group’s only album as a combo. Members included brassman Pee Wee Ellis and Bernard Purdie on drums. Very laid-back on “Back Rub” & “Tight Money” while hard and funky on the title track, “Got To Get Your Own“.
