drTStingray Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) 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. http://youtu.be/TcmZJgWTKkg Edited July 16, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote
MisterT Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) 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.

bubinga5 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) This is great. Bass guitar played by Randy HOPE Taylor of early Incognito albums. In fact this cracker of an album is by Bluey from Incognito. Other side projects he did are Citrus Sun, which is also great. http://youtu.be/XFt3YgS7kbI Edited July 16, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote

bubinga5 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited July 16, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote
timhiggins Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Love it.. I think Loveland is a great album and underrated imo ...I think Marcus is on that album but not sure if he's on all tunes Quote

funkgod Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Funk,,, maceo said "its what you dont play"... Great ..im off to the pub then. I dont think that line captures more than what this song creates, the great melvin davis captures this well, its all about timing,,,, https://www.youtube....h?v=UUu0DNPlv5Y oh and some melvin... ( slap haters turn off now !) https://www.youtube....h?v=fYFlNRnfPSM Just got given 2 cds by brian Culbertson, " bringing back the funk "is well worth checking out, https://www.amazon.com/Bringing-Back-Funk-Brian-Culbertson/dp/B0017ZU3F4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479929621&sr=8-1&keywords=bringing+back+the+funk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCopcNpzc60 Edited July 16, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote
lowdown Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) ^^^^^ Yes, the Melvin Davis tracks are great. Superb playing. The Slap playing, apart from being 'on it', hits you right in the guts. So much power. Edited November 25, 2016 by lowdown Quote
Kiwi Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) Hard to think of Chic as JazzFunk. But this record is imo. Greatest Dancer or Forbidden Lover could probably be rearranged as jazz standards. Edited July 16, 2018 by Dad3353 Quote
