    Ronnie Foster Two Headed Freap (1972)

    Blue Note
    • Ronnie Foster – Chunky
    • 1. Chunky
    • 2. Drowning In The Sea Of Love
    • 3. The Two-Headed Freap
    • 4. Summer Song
    • 5. Let's Stay Together
    • 6. Don't Knock My Love
    • 7. Mystic Brew
    • 8. Kentucky Fried Chicken

    This includes the killer fusion jazz dance track 'Chunky'.

    This is keyboardist Ronnie Foster's debut for Blue Note (1972) and it's hard to understand why he isn't more well known. Bit like Herbie Hancock's early 70s stuff with Headhunters.

    Ronnie Foster - organ, Eugene Bianco - harp, George Devens - vibes, cabasa, shaker, cowbell

    Gene Bertoncini - guitar, George Duvivier - bass, Gordon Edwards - electric bass, Jimmy Johnson - drums, Arthur Jenkins - conga, Wade Marcus - arranger.
