DIG IT!!!!!!!! Outside of Joshua Redman and Medeski, Martin & Wood I have not even heard of these others!!!!! I am on Amazon.com as soon as I hit the "SUBMIT MY POST" button below---thanks Marsh!!!!!!
Funky Meters (available at musictoday) I also enjoy The Meters Robert Randolph Airto Moreira (a brazilian precusionist who is truely under-rated) Deep Banana Blackout Funky Precedent (a compilation of the roots of jazz funk) James Hurt Count Basie The Crusaders Corduroy Ulu Addison Groove Project
If you weren't a jazz fan before you will be after absorbing afeww of these. The only downside is that I find myself wishing that some of the other bands/artists that I listen to would "rub a little funk on it".
Great thread!!! Many of these bands are new to me... so I will definitely be checking them out. Stanton Moore's "Flyin' the Koop" is fantastic! Also, if you haven't heard MMW live, you owe it to yourself to do so (definitely one of my favorite bands)!
