Anyone on here help me, in 75/76 used to hear an instrumental played by Blue Max and Kojak called 'Soul Yogi'. Anyone know more, artist etc. Even better a sound clip, I just know this isn't going to sound how I think it did after all these years.

I heard that at the Mecca around the mid/70's and cant bloody well remember either...good inst as far as I can remember and probably got it upstairs somewhere.

This could be Freddie McCoy on Prestige, one of several nice cuts he did (his version of Summer In The City is very good as well).

I believe there is a 45 on the soul jazz label Prestige with the same name....artist may be Freddie McCoy?? Complete guess......

That could be it, know it was jazz related, although now I think about it, though it was on Verve, same guy that did 'Soul Source'?

Where's Jerry he'd remember or Steve Smith

Any sound clips might help

It is freddie McCoy on prestige.........

Dave

Unfortuately I don't have a clip, used to have the 45 but I think it got sold.....but I'm pretty sure the track you want is McCoy on Prestige. Soul Sauce is Cal Tjader on Verve.

Hi.

New member here. I know I should have introduced myself in a different area probably, but I ve just seen this post and had to respond. SOUL YOGI. I first heard this at Samanthas cica 1974 and started the search for it asap. Found it 2 yrs later in some guys box in the record bar at Wigan.( The only place to find wanted dics in my opinion, cos half of the guys didnt know what they had, or the record hadnt broke yet) Paid £2 for it then in mint! A lot of cash then for me. Next morning played it to a mate who I knew ,knew his stuff. He loved it right away, and then he was on a mission to find one. He never found one !!! Its not a rare disc but Ive not seen one for yonks. Its bloody unusual and fast. Some years later Dave Godin did a review in Black Music mag. He said and I quote. "Freddie mccoys performance on the vibes is of virtuoso quality and although this side has in the not to distant past caused some minor ripples it really deserves to become much more widely known and loved. one to really float out to, that sparkles with irridescent space and much else, it is one of the meanest low down instrumentals I have heard in months". He knew his stuff did Mr Godin. Dont know how to do sound clips sorry. Its deffo on Prestige 2.40 mins of nostalgic mania.

Here I am...yes, deffo Freddie McCoy on Prestige 462, 7" single. Never played out these days, but occasionally in the privacy of my own home!

Love that description - it's going back in my main box ready for one of those "energetic" nights!

I never went to the Mecca.

And if they played stuff like this, I'd say that I had a lucky escape.

Now, now, don't judge it by todays standards....the past is a different country!
