TrevorR Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The one that I just keep coming back to is Incognito's "Tribes Vibes and Scribes". Amazing playing by the whole band but particularly by Randy Hope Taylor. My two faves from the album... http://youtu.be/jC9C6cCc_A8 http://youtu.be/Exhdm8Jyg8E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What is your definition of Classic Soul? For me I'd be looking at (or rather listening to) Teddy Pendergrass (TP album), Maze (Live in New Orleans), Al Green (Let's Stay Together) or even a bit of Lou Rawls. I do like a lot of the Acid Jazz and Neo Soul that you post, but have to say I found that one a bit bland, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I was a big fan of Galliano in my student days (early 90s) particularly the 'Joyful Noise Unto the Creator album'. This thread has inspired me to go back & listen to a few of their tunes. Tbh I think I'm bit old, jaded & cynical for the idealistic hippy lyrics these days but apart from that its still fairly enjoyable Anyway... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymGxV6KEtCc[/media] I do still love the flute solo on this one. Edited August 13, 2015 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el borracho Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I have to agree with Corduroy. Some of Richard Searle's basslines were great. Who'd have thought what he was capable of in his Dr & The Medics days I rather like a bit of New Jersey Kings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorR Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'll also throw in a band from Sacramento that a chum played in called The Mind Club. Released a couple of albums which are worth tracking down. Sort of a Lalo Schifren vibe to what they did... http://youtu.be/V8n0tEj2mqY http://youtu.be/Z_sEMU1HrdQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkgod Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Easy, Tower of power, Back to Oakland. I have prob 800 funk, soul, acid jazz rare groove, cds from old to bang uptodate , stuff from the great stuff Freestyle rechords is putting out to all the stuff from the mighty New cool collective as well as new stuff from the usa, but of them all I keep going back too "Back to oakland" My last birthday I was 50 and my daughter managed to find a great condition copy of it. In the 80s while all my friends were into new wave, pop, charts, rock, I remember playing it to my friends, as excited as I was with TOP no one was really into it. As well as yes, rush, and the temptations, I was really into Tower of power, I remember getting a copy of back to Oakland and being just floored by the track squib cakes everything about that track made me want to play, I wanted so bad to play like that, That LP moulded the way I play, think, listened and expected how a band should sound in terms of tightness, level of playing, attitude everything and also as it turns out, how I now think about writing songs. Back to Oakland came out in 1974, can you believe that ,74 ?, bump city came out in 72 ! as much as I love bumpcity in 72 must have been such a buzz, I like Back T.O more for nostalgic reasons, I feel I have learnt so much from that than any other album, and im still learning from it, for eg ,on squib cakes about ¾ the way through the way the bass gives way to chester thompsons Hammond bass peddles is just seamless magic, I spent so much time trying to get that groove them peddles were getting, fantastic phrasing, and check out one of the best style changes I have ever heard ,that change from ballad to fantastic sounding swing off a snare roll, in about 4:45 of “ just when we start makin it” And although its swing , rocco still sounds like rocco and manages to keep his signiture style of quad chromatic runs and funk feel locked in.. Check it out Magic. Also new cool collective is a very close 2nd along with James Brown/Maceo/Byrd[sup] [/sup] [quote name='CHW' timestamp='1439478898' post='2843238'] Corduroy- Dad Man Cat [/quote] Yep, dead man cat good shout,, but they also did the worst one ... the awfull "Click" party to the bus stop, NJK Millunnium, cloud nine Jazz in the Present Tense by the Solsonics is very good and a really great Album by "The sound Stylististics" called deep funk which is our own Gary crockett on the freestyle lable. [url="http://www.freestylerecords.co.uk/"]http://www.freestylerecords.co.uk/[/url] while we are on about Gary Crockett ( dont worry al be finished in a min ).. As welll as the in your face stuff hi did with the Perceptions ( well worth a look) he did another rare unheard of cd Album called Interstellar in a band called "The Super-Phonics" which is like a crossover Acid Jazz/Disco project featuring all the guys from the Sound Stylistics. It never sold much and was meant for Japan but has a load of very catchy gems on it which will take you right back to chic, including one ' Studio 55 ' which is a bit like' Get Lucky ' but 6 years earlier !!, here ya go...
