Funky/fusion jazz with heavy base emphasis....


Happy 03 audiogoners...looking for stripped down, bass dominant jazz/percussion sounds...with little to no trumphets,sax,piano,etc...real funky/fusion type of groove...any thoughts...Bitches Brew is cool...but looking for something more straight forward...less pyschedelic...also...good recording a plus

Second Victor Wooten. Check out Wooten's pet project "Vital Tech Tones" for crazy funk/jazzy bass heavy stuff. He's insane. Seen him solo, with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and he never ceases to amaze. Cheers!
Try:

Flim and the BBs (New Pants or Further Adventures of...)
Yellowjackets (I like Dreamland and Club Nocturne)
Chick Corea & RTF - Romantic Warrior
