One of the funkiest non-p-funk related albums I know. I thought. Because, if you read in the liner notes who's playing on this 1982 album you'll find that Dennis Chambers plays drums. When I looked it up on Discogs, a user says: "Wicked tight shit. Dennis Chambers on drums = Quality control". That pretty much nails it. But it's not only Dennis Chambers. It's so creative and varied, jazz harmonies and funk discipline, from this great musician who died 3 years ago, only 59 years old. He only made 2 albums under his own name. One in 1982 and one in 2002. Then I looked up Don Blackman on Wikipedia and it actually says that he played with Parliament/Funkadelic, Earth, Wind & Fire and Roy Ayers... and he played a lot of jazz/fusion and later hiphop. Lots of credits for his participation in the projects of other people Here's one of my favourite tracks of the album:
Just in time for International Women's Day, here's the first of a couple videos of Fred Wesley & The New JB's featuring Martha High.Think (About It) made famous by the recording of Lyn Collins, Martha always sang it with James Brown and Maceo Parker.Thank you Fred for having me on this great gig in Zurich, Switzerland! It was a pleasure.. and yeah you are right, for the connaisseurs of funk guitar, there's the one and only Bruno Speight! In the following videos the light is better and you'll see more of him, promised... stay tuned! - One of the funkiest non-p-funk related albums I know. I thought.
