If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
Thinking about this genre further, last night I pulled out Soul Summit- Live at Berk’s Place. This is another Karl Denson project that is great party music featuring the old Stax sound. Here is a youtube clip of the highlights https://youtu.be/jw6RpySsyW4 |
A few more oldies but moldies!;) The Rascals - https://youtu.be/nm9ShxXikfw - (written, sung and holding a funk guitar masterclass; the amazing Buzz Feiten!) Sons of Champlin - https://youtu.be/jNvfR74jnFM ...and one that may or may not fit here but...saw this band many times back in the day but never saw this video. Excuse the poor video quality, but the band's having a blast and playing their butts off. Turn it Up!!!;) The Brecker Bros. - https://youtu.be/4RgHYcmK_-g |
@frogman Wow! Thanks for the great link. The drumming is fantastic. Denard was in the pocket (ala Steve Jordan) for more than 5 minutes before "Gonna give it the drummer..." gets rolling. Skills on display. And the bass player ain't bad either. @maxnewid Thanks for the link. Stax! I recommend the Rock and Blues Museum in Memphis for a partial Stax history lesson. I understand Stax has its own museum but I haven't been to it. I remember listening to Alex Chilton's "Big Star" years ago and thinking this must be where Stax lost its way. I happen to like Big Star--but definitely not the Stax sound. @chazro Man, you are funk machine. BTW you can always post Brecker Bros. IMO |
My 17 year old bass player asked me to post this for the consumption of the old funk guys. It is Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles. Most you probably know that Cory Henry also plays with Snarky Puppy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G8jNEbi4YU |
Nice! I'll see you and raise you some music from Snarky Puppy's OTHER keyboard player; Shaun Martin! Promo - https://youtu.be/aDHaw6L948o Full tune - https://youtu.be/-TBYB0uC2LQ a bonus!;) - https://youtu.be/OXa645HKjKc I'll keep hangin' on this thread til it's gone! Too bad you didn't call it Funk For Aficianados!;) |
