[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1406960018' post='2516179'] I Have to learn that bassline...... Funky as!!!! Guess I'm buying a new album myself too then [/quote]yeah its great, one of those simple funky ones.

i know nothing about them apart from, i know Victor plays bass for them/him. i watched this and was blown away. why doesn't everyone see Victor in this way.? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie5QnUAkv1M any albums i could listen to that would enlighten me. cheers.

i don't think there is a definitive album of those 3, or any incognito album. I've been listening to Incognito since Jazz Funk and before with Bluey with the Warriors and Light of the World, maybe 25 years ago. still can't think of a favourite album. there all great. there are so many like Eleven, Tales from the Beach, Who Needs Love. even splinter groups like Inner Shade, Citrus Sun.. Beneath the Surface is just great though, the soul in that album is just….. end of waffle. Tribes vibes and Scribes Positivity 100 and Rising this has always been great. its just Incognito for me..

Was listening to this album today. Later albums were good but didn't quite have the impact that this one did. One of the greats of the so called Acid Jazz era. Modern UK Jazz Funk is better for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUTzGPoalso http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zx0mc5fa15k

Steely Dan . AJA Incognito. Tribes Vibes Tribes and Scribes Led Zepplin. Physical Graffiti Anita Baker. Rapture Prince. Everything The Brand New Heavies. Trunk Funk Rage Against The Machine. --- Maxwell. The Urban Hang Suite think I've covered most of my wants here.

[quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1406273509' post='2509926'] Kudos to you Bub, must be something in the air with all this gear being given away. [/quote]i remember being skint when i wanted new gear. very frustrating. there is one condition Cameron. you have to practice 12 hours a day.!

Cameron. i have a Brooklyn Gear strap that i never use. your welcome to have it. its is the most comfortable high end strap I've ever used apart from the Sadowsky strap i use now. very adjustable, wide, thick and comfortable.. way better than the Mono in my opinion. just PM me your address details. and i will send it over. if you want it of course. here is a pic for reference.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1406135903' post='2508685'] Not watched the videos but it is interesting to note how the Jazz divas of the last few decades are wearing less and less on their cd covers (look at Diana Krall's cds in order of release). It is not a particularly 'noble' trait and, frankly, demeans all involved. Great musicians but do they need this? [/quote]with all respect, have you ever seen Anita Baker do this.? nope. you ever seen Lalah Hathaway do this. ? Espransa Spalding, Patricia Barber. Stacy Kent. i don't think that any these artists, show off there bodies, on the cover of there albums to sell there music..

[quote name='JazzBassfreak' timestamp='1406238128' post='2509753'] If you ask me, she uses her boobs for attention to get her videos views. People are took in. In my opinion she's nothing great, just another female singer and guitarist, as good as the last. [/quote]im so with JBF. boring self obsessed girl. if i want to watch soft porn we all know where to go. it should be music first, but this is good looks with some music attached to it. seen it, got the no substance tshirt. Marta does it well, without flashing her boobs. yes she's good looking but you can tell Marta really digs bass playing and music. and she can play the bass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRusbYIyRNI

Spotted this on YT, and really enjoyed it. he's a master at melodic playing, its a pleasure watching him play fingerstyle like this.. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRTS16Lwo2w[/media]

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1405785837' post='2505255'] I like how you've put importance on the ambiance and lighting. [/quote] maybe its just me. i really don't like stark lighting. makes me feel like I'm in a bus shelter. put it this way i wouldn't want to fall asleep under a single bulb in the ceiling. i think ambience is really important when making music. an aspect maybe, that a lot of people don't recognise. each to there own though.

seems i didn't spot this thread and made another. thanks for the heads up Mornats. anyways here is my space. lighting is really important to me when playing /recording. i have lighting under the table. something to do with mood i guess. i have a friend who records under a single bulb in the ceiling. can't do the recording in a crack den thing. got to be a comfortable warm space.

thankyou i missed that.

possibly the greatest soul/groove record I've ever heard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8bpYg-jCNQ

not many records can quite match the slickness of this soul groove classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbePHK_sCdk&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ&index=34

the masters at work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu9nfOVB9GE&index=23&list=FLzVUqeF1SLjxa78y2gd03dQ

Would be good to see where everyone's musical space is, and where they record, play bass/other instruments. etc. PICS please. just got mine set up at last. very simple but it works.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' timestamp='1405346298' post='2501028'] I bet this chap wished he was picking Victor Wooten up from the airport rather than a Thrash Metal band [/quote] oh that made my evening. very funny

[quote name='r16ktx' timestamp='1404927523' post='2497110'] Could you provide an example of proper funk as I'm not getting it - a musical limitation I hope to overcome... [/quote] maybe some Maceo.?. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABLwmYI09Lw[/media]

is anyone going to see them at the Shepherds Bush Empire.? if so let me know i will buy you a beer. can't wait. ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16NlJ4bwdQ4

yeah i know what you mean. but this isn't funk . thats why the word Neo is in front of it. i personally find proper funk, a bit unmusical when it comes to harmony/changes etc. it has its limits musically shall we say. like you say, each to there own.
