Soul Search: Led me to Funk
Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2017 4:41 pm
The funk thing has been lurking beneath the surface for a long time now
and I finally decided to let it out...I want to play old school FUNK...
w/R&B in the background.
I've been devouring Herbie Hancock's;
-- Headhunters 1973
-- Man Child 1975
-- Fat Albert Rotunda
Songs like Doin' It, Gentle Thoughts & Swamp Rat get me going.
Love the Meters, but not the compositions so much...Herbie's stuff
is more musical for me.
Anyone go through this phase and have anything to offer, love to hear it,
especially practice ideas. Looking over Jim Payne's stuff and Mike Clark's
ideas. Want to absorb this world through listening...any recordings you
recommend?
