East side story
Clifford Coulter “East Side San Jose” on Impulse ABC Records (1971) Check out these cats!: Mel Brown, Guitar; Cornelious Bumpus (that’s right!), Saxophone; Jimmy Calhaun, Bass; Billy Ingram, Drums; etc. Side One opens with a funky, jazzy take on Steely Dan’s “Do It Again,” then the title cut “East Side San Jose” which is great. For me the stand out track though is “Big Fat Funky Shirley” on side two.

This is the record that I THOUGHT was by Freddie King, cause it has “San Jose” in the title! But I see that it has “Big Fat Funky Shirley,” and so is a very significant record in its own right.
