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:
This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel. More info:Susanne Alt: sax, Matthijs Geerts and Ike van Bergen: keys, Thomas Pol: bass, Yoràn Vroom: drums, Helene Jank: percussion Performed at 16th of January 2026 at Bimhuis, Amsterdam, Recorded by Onno Prillwitz Filmed by Robert Glass and Albert Nooij. - One of the funkiest non-p-funk related albums I know.
