About

The Auction (Decca, 1972), a film soundtrack, was virtually a tribute to blues music (and contains The Auction and The Leading Citizen).

Axelrod perfected his style as an arranger on Heavy Axe (february 1974 - Fantasy, 1974), highlighted by the sophisticated funk-soul-jazz fusion of My Family, the festive funk-jazz dance It Ain't For You and Everything Counts (a seven-minute remake of Holy Thursday), but hampered by inferior material and a hanfdul of trivial covers (Stevie Wonder's Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing, Cannonball Adderley's Get Up Off Your Knees, Vince Guaraldi's Cast Your Fate To The Wind Carly Simon's You're So Vain). — (via Scaruffi)
