New bands to listen to to?

[No1skewenjack]

I have been trying to find some new band to listen to in the style of Jamiroquai, Brand new heavies, Steve Wonder or perhaps some Soul Band? Anybody now of any new, up and coming band which are worth a listen? any stuff on you tube?

Cheers

Go on Spotify and search for the bands you list there. Top right there's suggestions for bands you may like.

For Jamiroquai for example there's Stevie, Daft Punk, Lenny Kravitz, General Sir Mike Jackson, Jamie Callum (!), Jack Johnson, Basement Jaxx....

if you go to www.incognito.org.uk and then click on the forums, there is a section called 'The Music Room' where people put suggestions for alternative listening in that genre. I've been listening to Moses Mayes recently which I picked up from the site.

Also, check out ''Satya Projec't and 'The Beauty Room'. Great albums

Cheers, Jim

As has been said , check out ( probably some of the earlier stuff ) from Incognito - Tribes Vibes and Scribes etc . Akimbo is probably worth a look too .
There are still some pretty good bands around doing some very good 'old skool ' stuff such as the likes of Push , who do some very nice stuff . The place to go though really , is back to the good old US of A and the 70's . Try and find anything by Pleasure or The Jeff Lorber Fusion , for a very nice starter .

The Deep Mo are a band featuring Yolanda Charles on bass, and her husband Miles on drums, totally funky and totally fabulous. The latest EP can be found at the link above.

Bit old but Galactic, Lettuce, G-love & the special sauce, Cordroy are worthy of a check if you haven't already

[Raslee]

Yeah love JTQ, 'A few useful tips about living underground" is awesome but Corduroys 1st album think its called 'Dead mans cat' is a fav

[bubinga5]

Rasta for me the best JTQ album in "in the hand of the Inevitable" very soulful....yeah Corduroy were/are cool...was that the one with the helicopter on the cover? i remember having a double album....


would just lke to say if the OP wants real Jazz Funk Soul check out Lonnie Liston, Donald Byrd, The Mizzele Bro's, The Brecker Bro's, Billy Cobham..and of course the first Incognito album titled erm...Jazz Funk, bloody amazing...well you might as well start where they all got it from..

Some very good stuff..


When I get back home, I'll tell the names of albums, that are (IMHO) most worthy to check 'em..

[Sibob]

Dillinger Escape Plan, Kate Rusby, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip

Go screw your brain by listening to one after the other!

Si

For me it's "Party To The Bus Stop" which they released under the name New Jersey Kings.

[kets]

The Icelandic band Jaguar are well worth checking out, if you can get hold of their stuff. Very funky and the bass player is superb!

+1000 for Corduroy. The soundtrack of my later teenage years!
