Yellow Jackets..

Probably in my top 10 favourite Jazz Funk record's.  Jimmy's bass playing is just way out there groove. Ferrante's keys are just fantastic...Bobby Lyle on Piano. I had never heard groove like this before until I heard this and mezzoforte

It sounds like the soundtrack to a yahcht sales video. Guessing that’s the 80s production.

Boats and hos. 

My parents are both almost 70 and that is their favourite film.

Yeah, those early YJ albums had some lovely, groove playing on them. 

Harmonically, the tunes were interesting & very rich sounding.

 

BB5, I know you are into Piano playing as well, check out this short Russell Ferrante video on stacking/poly chords.

It gives you an idea how they got those themes and chord structures.

It was that album that introduced me to Robben Ford. His first & The Blue Line album is still one of my top 10 albums, Roscoe Beck’s playing on it is sublime.

Funny, but whenever I've seen them (online), there's not trace of any of them wearing yellow jackets. At least at Butlins, you could see red jackets....

Stacked piano chords from '72 , a year before Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters album ( 39:28 )

26:12 Reminds me of " Revelation " by the Yellow Waistcoatswithsleeves and Robben Ford

Saw them at the Royal Festival Hall in 1991 supported by Lee Ritenour - one of the great fusion bands. They've been blessed with having a couple of great bassists in Jimmy Haslip & Felix Pastorius.

“Revelation”, well spotted.   👍

 

The quality is not good, but a great performance with 'The Yellowjackets and Take 6'.

First came across Jimmy Haslip on Gino Vannelli album Brother to Brother. Outstanding bassist.

It does until someone asks you to play it. Then it dawns on you.

Think the fact Haslip plays left handed with a RH string set up ie E string on the bottom makes it harder to play in his style. No matter what he is an incredible player and hugely entertaining musician.
