Very cool Lowdown. Love that record. Not many times do people come out with that rare cracker. That to me is pure JazzFunk.



Me too - the track Sorceress is fabulous - that Alembic bass sound is wonderful - it's also pretty rocky although the bass is pretty much funk.

My daughter bought me tickets to see Jeff Lorber a few years back at Pizza Express - and how fabulous!! This starts from quiet beginnings but is great - how they play the unison stuff towards the end I don't know!! Nice Fender Jazz.

Another classic jazz funk record from MFSB. [media]http://youtu.be/NZWvwAyKUgo[/media]


Why thank you for clearing that one up - without checking I'm pretty sure that was the bassline from an old Dimitri from Paris set I've got kicking around on the drive somewhere. Edited by Dad3353

7 minutes of fantastic Lonnie. It's one the finest jazz funk records ever recorded imo. His piano playing is just...!!The detail that is in this track. The horns,the flute, the rythm section from the congas to the drumming. Some superb bass playing on this record also. No idea who it is. Music like this makes me love this genre and i will never forget the talent that went into making just this track, nevermind the great album it comes from.This is proper JazzFunk imo http://youtu.be/xekwGIg9Du8

Marcus wrote this one for the Loveland Album ,he is credited as playing bass on Bright moments and i'm pretty sure thats him on this as well although
he's not credited on album...https://youtu.be/XFfaoJKUrrk

Funk,,, maceo said "its what you dont play"...
Great ..im off to the pub then. :D

I dont think that line captures more than what this song creates, the great melvin davis captures this well,
its all about timing,,,,

^^^^^
Yes, the Melvin Davies tracks are great.
Superb playing. The Slap playing, apart from being 'on it',
hits you right in the guts. So much power. :)



yea, bang on he reminds me of louis johnson, has the same technique and power only much more developed. Edited by Dad3353
