Debut album of Faze-O, a band from Dayton, Ohio, hom of many famous funk bands. This album was produced by Clarence Satchell of the Ohio Players. The most famous track of the album is probably the title track which has been sampled and used for inspiration a lot!! See who sampled it..
I have to say that I knew this track by Snoop Dogg, Boss Playa (2002) first....
So the first time we played the music from Royalty For Real wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!Here you'll see me play Au Privave, Classy Cats and Royalty For Real, together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).Au Privave is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it! - Debut album of Faze-O, a band from Dayton, Ohio, hom of many famous funk bands.
