Charles, you are hitting a good deal of my College soundtrack. Bitch's Brew, Kind of Blue, all Jeff Beck were on constant rotation, introduced to me by a guy on my football team. I liked Herbie as well, but mostly played the, mostly blues, recordings he did with George Benson (e.g. Doobie Doobie Blues and Low Down and Dirty off the album Giblet Gravy). For fusion, i listened to a lot of Dixie Dreges (i love Twiggs Approved off the album Dregs of the Earth). Finally, most of my thesis was written while getting inspiration from Pink Floyd and Traffic.
I look forward to your next post on Allan Holdsworth. You may know that he was a good friend of Joe Berger's. I met Allen once with Joe at NAMM. He was a great guy!
Thanks Russell! That's a fun list of stuff you were into. I don't think I heard much of the Herbie/Benson collaboration--another thing to check out. Floyd and Traffic I would put more in the category of "Music I listened to while chemically enhanced". I could not possible study to that stuff!
