If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
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!;) |
@frogman I have so many of Maceo’s albums - all with great musicians. i find Jamal Thomas particularly tasty with Jerry Preston of course it helps to have Pee Wee Ellis and Fred Wesley... The groove is sublime and the drummer is deep in the pocket with time behind the bass groove (late even on the “1”) except for the high hat keeping solid time -young drummers should listen to how fat this groove is...a mile wide!!!! The Rolling stones often play this way with the bass leading the groove and drummer slightly late - it sounds really good and it takes skill from all to create that kind of feel https://youtu.be/ABLwmYI09Lw |
I agree about Jamal Thomas; great pocket. But, for me, the king will always be Clyde Stubblefield. With Fred Wesley: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMj9wwO1yT4 And, of course, the classic “The Funky Drummer”: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AoQ4AtsFWVM |
