Dreaming of the Masters


Cream of Jazz Funk was a 1974 anthology of out-takes and left-overs from four different Mainstream Records recording sessions.  The track Miscegenation was from the 1972 sessions for Buddy Terry's album Pure Dynamite.  The solos are by Joanne Brackeen on piano, either Woody Shaw or Eddie Henderson on trumpet (both were present at the session),  Terry on tenor sax,  Stanley Clarke on bass; and Billy Hart on drums.  Percussionists Airto Moreira and Mtume were also present at the session, but I can't tell if they're on this track or not.

Despite the album title, the tracks are more in the hard bop genre than jazz funk. The anthology album was also released under the simple title Jazz.
