John Tropea To Touch You Again
Crate-digging helped me re-discover my Brooklyn childhood. All the essential samples from a specific decade lead to similar, lesser-known sounds surrounding them. I didn't know who Karla Bonoff was until I came across this album during my first visit to Amityville's High Fidelity. It's a record I took a chance on solely based on year of release ('79), and that said it all for me. What I see and how I feel in the sphere of sampling, no matter where it originated, makes sure that I treat other artists outside its discourse all the same (Emily Remler, Phil Upchurch, Eric Gale, John Tropea, etc.).

Paul Simon: One-Trick Pony (1979)
This is the only Paul Simon record I’ll ever own and here’s six reasons why: John Tropea, Dave Grusin, Richard Tee, Eric Gale, Steve Gadd, and Ralph MacDonald. They represent a curious era I’m still getting to know and their sounds perfectly define what I think of it. Those musicians are why I discovered Simon’s soundtrack-album as some of them perform and even star in it along with The B-52′s, Lou Reed, Tiny Tim (!) and more. So when WUSB’s Joi (Hygge) discussed it on-air with her father, I knew I had to have it. (Update: I acquired it at Patchogue’s Record Stop.) What’s wild is someone at my station who’s half my age knows and appreciates Seventies jazz / fusion like I do. I’m already familiar with Tropea, Gale, and Grusin’s work (and partially Gadd) and the soul of One-Trick Pony lines up with how I personally see and feel about the Seventies, so there’ll be no dispute about me enjoying this on Simon album. Now, I’m on the lookout for the motion picture.

Prelude is the eighth studio album by Brazilian keyboardist Eumir Deodato, released in 1973. With the signature track "Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)" (an arrangement of the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey), Prelude would become the most successful recording for Deodato and CTI Records.
The album features guitarist John Tropea on three tracks, bassists Ron Carter and Stanley Clarke, and Billy Cobham on drums. The funk-influenced version of the "Introduction" from Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra, entitled "Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)", won the 1974 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance and went to number two in the pop charts in the US, number three in Canada, and number seven in the UK. In 1977, the album was re-released briefly as 2001 with an alternate cover photo.
