Genius. Steve Jordan is the dog's bollocks.

[quote name='Stingray5' post='911188' date='Jul 31 2010, 01:08 PM']Continuing one of the best threads on Basschat, here's a funky groove for Saturday afternoon. :)
Featuring M King on bass and the ridiculously tight Charlie Morgan on drums (...well, he never bought [i]me[/i] a drink, anyway!! :rolleyes: )
I always liked how the chord sequence works in this one too.

Er...B5, did you mean to put the Crown Heights link twice? If so, Vic Wooten must've been about 10 years old when he played for them! :rolleyes: :)

[quote name='morsefull' post='929458' date='Aug 19 2010, 10:06 AM']I totally agree with you. Utterly awesome feel. Ever since I watched the youtube link to the live worhip in chicago,

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_KuD0AjWdE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_KuD0AjWdE[/url]

I've been hooked.
From what I can gather he's a very modest guy who's driven by his religious beliefs, otherwise I think we'd've heard much more of him.
He's my main inspiration to learn and improve as a player.
God Bless him!![/quote]

This is one of my faves - I often watch when I feel like being livened up a bit!

I hadn't heard it for years & they played it on the PA at the big Incognito anniversary gig at the Town & Country - set the floor alight :)

I have a great 4CD box set that's full of stuff from this era.

Kicks of with Archie Bell & the Drells - Let's Groove:

For me the best Jazz funk soul track ever made...bluey on rythm g, randy on bass, richard bailey on drums, the wonderful graham harvey on keys...the brass is out of this world

i knew i loved this band when i heard this track...everything is killer..

A cool groove here with some nice bass by Cameo's Aaron Mills

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0v5nd1bJXM&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0v5nd1bJXM...feature=related[/url]


Some old school goodness(probably mentioned previously)

Wow, just realised Scorpio isn't here anywhere!

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfLnqoL-lRs&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfLnqoL-lRs...feature=related[/url]

I love some of the YouTube quotes on this:

[i]"he thing is, not only is this jam just raw and funky and dirty like it just got pulled straight up out of some funk garden of eden and served straight to your ears, unfiltered, but the thing is, that sh*t was getting played on top-40 radio! we're talking conga and bass solos and no "baby i love you"s! just a good f***ing jam served up fresh on the am dial.

that's so hard to imagine in this modern corporate controlled day and age.

LOVE IT!!"[/i]


[i]"This is a funk REVOLUTION right here!!!

Just listen to the breakdown and think of how many people have sampled/ripped off the funky drummers/conga part...

Then Babbitt comes in and lays down one of the best bass solo you will ever hear.

As they say in the song "GRAB IT, BOBBY!""[/i]
