If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck
@david_ten BTW I'm sitting here right now listening to the Galactic "Crazy Mongoose" CD that arrived today. My boys both sat down earlier and listened with me for a bit. Awesome. On Childish Gambino, they are fans...I will tell them you are cooler...

@fmpnd On the thread, my pleasure. Less we forget, this thread started by my teenage boys being willing to have me ask y'all what you thought of a band they current follow. BTW my family now calls this thread "old audio funk dudes" I kind of like ...

Frank, have fun tonight. And please post a review when you return.PeaceAl 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Oops, Paul Simon's band also had a sax player too. Apologies. (This is a sax player in addition to his guitar player that also plays the bari sax, the picolo and probably other stuff I've forgotten.) 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
I saw Paul Simon on his "Homeward Bound" Farewell Tour last night (06.01.18) at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. Highly recommended. His voice is in really good shape (he is 76 years old, I think). He played 2 plus hours. He engaged wit...

@grey9hound The final album I listened to last night was your recommended "Renewable Energy" by The New Mastersounds. Compared to the other recommendations I have listened to thus far, this felt like a smoother funk record. I enjoyed it. Thanks fo...

As I mentioned earlier (I think), one of my boys plays drum kit. He told me today that his band buddies all picked songs to feed into a group music stream to listen to together. He picked this one, from a a new LP he bought on record day--It is fr... 
Robert & Alison-Raising Sand
@knownothing I have both those CDs and noticed the exact same thing. The performance of Kraus/Plant are really good but the mastering is less than desirable.

@acman3 and @shadorne Just listened to the Dirty Dozen Brass Band album entitled, "Twenty Dozen". Nawlins' Music!. Wah wah trumpets, swinging tuba, foot tapping--this is dance in a Southern Louisiana street music,--but then there's "Git Up" a slow...

@chazro Awesome backstory! My son plays the bass and Marcus Miller is one of his idols. I bought him "Afrodeeza" on LP for Christmas a few years back. At the time I could only find it for sale outside the US. That, I thought, was tragic. Pretty co...

@chazro Per your recommendation I listened to Jon Cleary's "Go-Go Juice" to end out my evening last night. I already was a bit familiar with Cleary from his work with Scofield on "Piety Street". So, my take on "Go-Go Juice" is that it feels like y...

@fmpnd Thanks for the heads up on the new TOP CD. I'm going to get based on your recommendation. Also, please post a report after the 50th Anniversary concert. That should be cool.

@fmpnd recommended Five Alarm Funk. I listened to "Anything Is Possible." This is the most eclectic group I have listened to from the "funk" groups listed above. This album is from 2010. Maybe the singer has changed (I hope so), I'm not into the s...
