Curtis Mayfield - Curtis / Live! (Curtom 1971 / 2023 reissue)
A live album so intimate and visceral I can almost smell the liquor and wooden tables at the Bitter End. Hard to think of a live R&B record that tops it, though Donny's at the same club comes close.

The McCrary - Emerge (Cat’s Eye 1973 / 2025 BBE reissue)
A record so rare I’ve never even heard more than a few minutes of it digitally, until this reissue (the first since 1973). The McCrary family were a gospel group and this is their first secular R&B / funk record. Mind blowing stuff!

Ahmad Jamal Trio: The Awakening (Impulse 1970).
I happened upon a somewhat beat up OG copy of this legendary record. But it’s just as glorious even with a bit of snap, crackle, and pop. As usual for this period, Ahmad is joined by Jamil Nasser on bass and Frank Gant on drums.
