Henry Franklin's The Skipper at Home LP from 1974 [FLAC limited time only]

 

I posted 2 of his albums in the past, not so long ago back here.  Style of music is that typical 1970s 'hard bop' with fusionoid accompaniment, that is, electric piano with angular horn section playing interesting long-winded riffs, etc.  Typically the melody played by combined sax/trumpet in unison, advanced harmonies, not the usual circle of fifths jazz standard drivel.  

Anyways, I should have been more thorough with the discography, because it turns out this one is his best. Information discogged here.

The cool jazzy sound of Soft Spirit is just indescribable:

Another one, his Waltz for Boobuss which reminds me a lot of the slow and classic Miles Davis compositions like Little Church:

Note that the 1985 release is still outstanding, this one.
