Check this out Fred Wesley's amazing Trombone playing Cold Sweat Perhaps the only thing better is hearing Cold Sweat played by Bernard Purdie with his famous Psh Psh Psh on the hi-hat! |
The funk aroma has wafted over a pretty large area, here's a few i like that sprouted up along the fringes: The J.B's. Doin' It To Death ... (1973) James Brown does sing (or maybe more like talks you up) on this one, but this is the J. B's. record to stretch out on. It's not hard to see why the T.J. Kirk guys had to use You Can Have Watergate Just Gimme Some Bucks And I'll Be Straight. The whole record is core material. Kristian Schultze Set/ Recreation ... (1972) It's got a weird 70"s kind of Euorpean humorous jazz cheese thing going that aged real good. Praxis/Transmutation,(Mutatis Mutandis)...(1992)Sometimes a little goofy, but you got Bootsy, Bernie Worrell, Buckethead and Bill Laswell smearing around a gorgeous high amplitude science fiction brand of funk that won't be denied after you hit play. Defunkt/ Defunkt (1980) This one kind of upped the game in the hyper kinetic chops dept., (blame Lester Bowie, Vernon Reid and Melvin Gibbs for that). Titles like Thermonuclear Sweat let you know what you're in for. Miles Davis/ On The Corner (1972) Apex achievement, this along w/ Herbie Hancock's Sextant pump out the some of the finest brain melting funk infused audio formations available. |
