One joint that really sticks out though seems to be The Baron LP from 1972.
This is a record featuring a group lead by drummer Baron Von Ohlen.
Equipt with extensive liner notes on the musicians which I'm not going to quote here, instruments includes: drums, electric piano, organ, with a few vocals and abstract singing.
The line-up is a little bit out of the ordinary, there is no bassist present but two keyboard players where the organist plays the bass part as well as taking leads and solos.
With the two keyboards Fender Rhodes and Farfisa organ complementing each other it creates a thick mellowed out groove and gives the music a distinct and blissful sound.
A fave track off here is the opening cut entitled Tergiversation (The Whistling Tune).
I'm not sure if Baron Von Ohlen ever put out other records, and was this guy a real baron or was it a self-proclaimed title?

would be cool to hear this
The cover of McFarland's "Runaway heart" is absolutely insane
Baron was a nickname from the famous Stan Kenton, who John Von Ohlen played with for a couple years.
