    I also HEART this stuff...but one of the Don Walker LPS has a little too much Hamronica for my taste.

    any chance for Mp3s of these? I was hoping this thread could be a big piano trio funk Mp3 share...

    Here's a pretty rare one by a band called the Bermuda Symphony Trio. Pretty cool cover of Ode to Billy Joe. There's also a pretty killer cover of Ain't No Sunshine, but I don't have the rip of it with me here at work.

    The Shelton Kilby "Yield Not" LP has two good mellow-funky trio tracks in the same vein as the two Hysear albums.



    Into The Woods
    Poor Wayfaring Stranger

    The rest of the LP is not that remarkable. Sorry for the recurring surface noise in those mp3s. My copy has a slight warp

    Something must be wrong with your system, Ras. The right channel is missing in that recording. The horn section is gone.

    Funky16 - that ChaCha Hogan track was nice. I love loud tambourines.

    In the last weekend I picked up a 45 called 'JC's Grit Gitter' by JC Heard on Sir-Rah. I haven't gotten it yet to give it a close listen (I only heard a clip online), but if it's not the same backing track as the Hogan side, it's certainly the same song. The tune was co-written by Jack Ashford of the Funk Brothers, thus the tambourine.

    A trio? I'd love to see something written about this group...some unearthed reels would be a pretty good look, too!!

    Off topic but your mixes are great. Props.

    before they were called Smithstonian, they were called Black Blood and the Chocolate Pickles...they released one 45 that I know of, an earlier version of "Mississippi Mud"

    Here's a few fairly obvious tracks that I like:
    - Ray Bryant "Up Above The Rock"
    - Romeos "Precious Memories" (imagine somebody trying to play like Ramsey Lewis on an out-of-tune barrelhouse piano and you got "Precious Memories"...that out-of-nowhere cha-cha bridge is genius, you think it would kill the somber mood, and it does, but it works! underrated classic)
    - Packers "Hole In The Wall"
    - Young-Holt Trio "Wack Wack"
    - Ray Charles "Booty Butt"
    - Don Shirley "Water Boy"
    - Martin Denny "Quiet Village" (which actually sounds good next to all these other folks with a Ramsey Lewis-ish sound)

    YES

    This song is my personal road rage cure. I'm in the car feeling like shooting people and then this song comes on my tape deck and I want to smile at people as they drive past.
