First making his mark in 1972 with one of saxman Lou Donaldson's funkier bands, Frazier cut his first album Hail Ceasar! later that year, which featured musicians commonly associated with the Prestige label's jazz-funk outings -- Melvin Sparks (guitar), Houston Person (tenor), and Idris Muhammad (drums). The follow-up, Ceasar Frazier '75, featured the likes of guitarist Cornell Dupree and drummer Bernard ''Pretty'' Purdie; the album's key track, Funk It Down was later sampled by jazz-obsessed hip-hoppers Gang Starr for their Ex-Girl to the Next Girl. In 1978, Frazier resurfaced as a smooth soul/disco vocalist with the LP Another Life, and while he showed some affinity for the idiom, it failed to reinvent him as a commercial force outside the jazz-funk marketplace. In addition to recording on his own, Frazier also played keyboards in Marvin Gaye's backing band. Thanks to the rare-groove revival, his rare original LPs now fetch generous sums on the collectors' market.

재즈를 듣노라면 색소폰을 목에 걸자마자 재즈가 바로 나올것 같은데 현실은 그렇지 못한것에 늘 허탈‥
내게 무언가 부족함에 끄덕이고 맙니다
하지만 지금은 치맥과 함께 듣기로도 충분히 즐겁습니다 감사합니다
