Here's Queen Latifah's wonderful cover of my favourite Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band track, 'Hard Times' (one of my all-time favourite songs). It qualifies for this thread as it's a bit more groove-driven for this thread (though I might give in and post the original at some point!): [media]http://youtu.be/EuByCrbi0q4[/media] [/quote]Jack, you have just hit the spot with that one.. i love that big time..!! what a beautiful woman she is too.

[/quote] It's a cracker isn't it? I love the original moreso, it's got a strange, eerie romantic atmosphere to it (for me!) that just gets me every time. Here it is, if you're interested! Not quite so groovy, more 'lilty': http://youtu.be/-hPtFJ9LpFk Quote
bubinga5 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 i just cant stop listening to that Queen Latifah track.... just wonderful Quote

Must find out who played on that track. Not heard the rest of that album but I expect it's in a similar vein. Might try and hunt it down. Quote
bubinga5 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) im still listening to it.. puts me in the best mood....yep,the bass line is a very laid back groove with fills to die for... the groove at 4.45 is killer... her scatting is fantastic also.... the original is great too.

I bought it when it first came out and revisit once a year maybe. Good shout! Edited January 7, 2012 by M-N-Y Quote
M-N-Y Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Check this out, gobsmackingly good. Rhythm section is insanely good, as is the production and the rest of the musicians. Not a big gospel fan but if this band was playing in my local church I'd be there every Sunday!!! Bass player is Lil Rodney Jones watch out for him!

M-N-Y Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 One of my favourite players and songs. The main groove is played on a Frudua jazz bass and the solo on Jimmy's trusty Warwick Streamer. The main groove comes in at 1.40, simple but very effective especially when you consider there is no 'real' drummer on the track.

M-N-Y Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Sorry if this is a re post from earlier in the thread, please check out this track from the amazing Clyde Criner,with Marcus Miller on bass and Rodney Holmes on drums recorded in 1988.

Davo-London Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 The Doug John's clip is grooving IMHO. However, the bass is master and the drums slave. So there is no real interplay within the groove other than the breaks. I play drums and bass and as a drummer often note that we (drum and bass) are playing together but not necessarily grooving! Little Feat is a great example of a band that simple oozes groove. Again the drummer is playing a very straight beat, maybe the band is simply very tight. Lovely feel to all their stuff. The Robert Palmer Track has a great feel to it as well and again the drums are pretty straight 2/4 beat so is it the bass that makes all the difference? Mwahahaha Davo Quote
BigBeatNut Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 One of my favourite grooves ... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji0MwgJaqKA[/media] I've been told that this is most likely the Meters doing the backing and so George Porter Jr. on bass. Wish I knew how to cop the bass sound on this too. Andy Quote
Pete Academy Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 A sublime track from a later Chic album. Bernard's bassline is absolutely steaming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=036Tfy5f1VQ Quote
Pete Academy Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 I've been listening to and playing funk for 40 years, but there are some tracks here that have blown my mind. The Angela Johnson and Maxwell tracks, not to mention the Pleasure ones. Bubinga is the Funkmeister! Quote
chaypup Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Loving this by The Brothers Johnson which no doubt has been posted some pages back http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbxUtFDKz8k Rather annoying that it's in Gminor and the tape has been sped up so it sits somewhere between G and Ab though....

chaypup Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I don't normally dig big bass solos but Bootsy's off the hook on this! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZECQCQjP38 Quote
jackduran Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I prefer the Joey Negro edit of this but the original is still great. Love the groove in this, fairly straightforward and does exactly what it says on the tin. http://youtu.be/allGAdpPThs Quote
