Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" and "Cantaloupe Island" from the 60's are very funky, danceable jazz. In fact, the rap group US3 made a rap record called "Cantaloop" based on the groove from Cantaloupe Island.
Danceable jazz recordings, any recommendations?
I have a few CD's that I consider "danceable"( many folks would dance to it if it were presented as R&B). For example, Mel Brown Quintet-Live at Jimmy Mack's ; Hank crawford and Jimmy McGriff-Road Tested; Charles Earland-Cookin with the Mighty Burner. Any further suggestions?
