Vinyl Wednesday: EDDIE HAZEL: GAME, DAMES AND GUITAR THANGS
Definitely one of my favourite P-Funk albums, this (almost) instrumental gem from 1977 by one of the most important funk guitarists.
If you like Jimi Hendrix, you'll love Eddie Hazel. He was one of the founding members of Funkadelic, along with George Clinton, Billy "Bass" Nelson, Tiki Fulwood in 1967. In 1970 guitarist Tawl Ross and Bernie Worrell (keys) would follow to complete the group.
This is one of my favourite tunes on the album, where Eddie Hazel plays together with his colleague guitar player Michael Hampton.

This is of Eddie's most famous guitar feature:"Maggot Brain". Here he's again playing together with Michael Hampton, as well as Rodney "Skeet" Curtis on bass and Dennis Chambers on drums.

This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.
