I’ve been working my way through the MASSIVE back catalog of “Jazz Emu,” and I just can’t get over his lyric, comedic, and musical genius. This guy is hugely underrated! https://youtu.be/fXLdgVXwvAY #JazzEmu#Funk
Thanks to my colleague that recommended I check out 'Habibi funk' genre of music. I'm sure you can find a relevant curated playlist on your streaming service of choice.
🎧 Sons of #Akron, Bobby Heller (Hammond/Organ) and Charles Heller (drums) recruited James 'Boots' Smith to play guitar and got busy as #SoulToronadoes.
In 1969, they released "Go For Yourself" (b/w "Funky Thang) — the uptempo funk jammmm!
🎧 "Love Rollercoaster" got all the love, but "Sweet Sticky Thing" was/is my favorite track on the "Honey" LP by #OhioPlayers.
The AM soul station in New Bern (NC) played the song first time I heard it, and I remember the DJ joking about the album cover—"Don't let your Mama see it!" kinda thing. I bought the 8-track.
It was "make out with Frank in the back seat at the end of Ghost Road" music that Fall, my senior year of HS,1975.
In the summer of 1971, "Mr. Big Stuff" raced up the Top 40 and Soul charts, and was Billboard's #1 Soul Single that year. The record sold more than 2 million copies and was nominated for a Grammy.
"Mr. Big Stuff" was Knight's signature song, but she made many other soul and R&B records.
#NowPlaying Grant Green - Alive! (Blue Note, 1970). Recorded live at the Cliché Lounge, Newark, NJ on 8/15/1970. Jazz-funk (or is it funky jazz?) was my gateway from hip-hop to jazz. The closing track Down Here On The Ground is instantly recognizable from the sample on A Tribe Called Quest - Vibes and Stuff. Anything with Idris Muhammad on drums is worth listening to. #jazz#funk#hiphop#GrantGreen@vinylrecords
Yes it's Bey Day but make room for the latest from smoked out Seattle hiphop project Shabazz Palaces on Sub Pop. SP is led by Ishmael Butler, fka Butterfly of Digable Planets. Every Shabazz album is a fully realized avant future funk Mood and this one seems great so far
