GOD MADE ME FUNKY
and
this might be the most consistantly sampled for heat jazz lp ever!
charlie parker "night in tunisia" for gangstarr's "words i manifest"
This record scared and intrigued me as a young child. It was in my moms stacks and I used to stare at it for hours. I thought that was some kind of music god or something.
When I first started making music, I had made Crut out to be four non-existent cartoon characters. One of them was a guy who had a head just like this. Not sure if anyone back then got the reference.
what does "most important" mean? Most popular? Most sampled? Most influential? Define...
...George Benson is the father of many samples - Common "________" (guess)
Plenty dudes used these drums...
Purdie...
Considered by most to be a "jazz" drummer, responsible for ? many hip hop songs...
???
Ok, maybe not.
Or perhaps ???
[i]Review by Alex Henderson
With Sign of the Times, Bob James, who had done so much to define so-called "smooth jazz," gave his audience yet another dose of the type of pop/R&B/jazz fluff he'd been successful with. Consistently boring and mindless, the album has all of the things one expects from a Bob James recording -- dull arrangements, forgettable melodies and robotic background vocals. /I>
Ok, which one of you guys is Alex Henderson?
Jazz musician making Funk. Its both.
The good Leo. Not
Good for you, but it's very much jazz. Most funk bands weren't getting as complex as what he and the band were playing in "Sly".
On the Bob James thing, I'm going through my stuff and talk about slow on my part, but I didn't realize the buffalo nickel on the cover of Heads[/b] was a reference to 5, as in "5th album", and Touchdown[/b] refers to 6, as in 6th album, since a touchdown is 6 points. H[/b] (with the hot dog cover) is the 8th letter, so it's his 8th album. Hands Down[/b] has an X-ray photo of two hands, thus 10 fingers = 10th album. His 13th album happened to be his last under his then-current contract, thus The Swan[/b], as in "swan song". Back luck = 13. Goodbye.
How come I only know about this now? I remember thinking years ago "some of his albums are numbered, others are not". They were fricken numbered the entire time.
I didnt know that. Thanx.
Notice certain names have longer lists than others.
Headhunters outweighs/trumps VSOP.
