molan Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) I did post some of this previously as part of some questions about Maceo Parker but thought I'd re-post a few words about 'Skeet' Curtis who I was privileged to see on Tuesday evening. He's just a great groove based funky bass man, early pioneer of 5 string Alembics with Parliament & Funkadelic & obviously still having a great time playing live with Maceo Parker. I loved how effortlessly he held it all together through Maceo's extended funky jazz songs & even kept an impossible groove going whilst Maceo held his jacket across 'Skeet's' face so he couldn't see anything he was playing Well worth checking the man out. . . Here's a great groove of his from a Maceo gig in '03. I have no idea how he keeps this up for 9 minutes! You only get to see him briefly at about 8:45 Here's him live with Dr Funkenstein himself (you have to bear in mind that Funkadelic Live is a pretty stretched out experience so these 'go on a bit' lol). A different side of him on his trusty Alembic from '78 (I think last time I saw him live was from this tour in '79) And this is a lot more how he looks these days: Edited May 28, 2009 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51m0n Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 He's a fantastic player, but damn now I know where all the pies went (and I had my eye on them - really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
