Two absolutely great sessions here:

 

Dope. I saw Kiefer this year in Highbury & Islington. Was cool. I’ve followed him before he even got signed. Soundcloud was a great place. Had loads of convos with him also. Cool guy.

I heard some EW&F this morning. I had forgotten how groovy they really were. Great playing, tight horn arrangements and terrific vocals.

Indeed it is. I only just came across it myself as I’m on the Jazz Cafe mailing list and she’s playing there this year and it sounded interesting. Am checking out the album too.

Just checking this new album release out:

This has a nice sleazy/funky vibe:

Came across them randomly in a Glastonbury clip.

Ooh, another McCoy Tyner fan. Thanks for reminding me that there’s one of his big band records I still don’t have a copy of (I have this one though).

How about this fantastic version by The Salsoul Orchestra, which might even top the classic original

Probably posted this before but who cares when it’s this funky?

I've still got that album!! There are a few catchy 'Sexy' Disco arrangements and orchestrations on there. Apart from 'Short Shorts', I'm not sure what that was all about.

Mostly arranged by the 'Godfather of Disco' arrangements, Vince Montana. He was a member of MFSB as well.

 

Talking of Sexy Orchestrations...TSOP.

I quite like a bit of ESG now and again, some interesting grooves on this album

Need Bootsy from back in the day!

More Bootsy, new and old at the same time!
