Jazz, Funk, Disco?
Pt I – Along the shelf to “C”
Welcome back crate diggers, I thought I’d pillage my LP shelves and pull some tunes for which I’m not really sure the appropriate ‘genre’ label. It’s possible that some of these tunes might be defined as Jazz-Funk, some might be Funk and some might even be classed as Disco.
Whatever genre label we apply to the tunes, these are monster tunes from monster artists and come from LPs produced between the late 60’s and early 80’s. I have pulled together approximately 90 minutes, yet only covered “A-C” on the shelf, so expect a few more mixes in the coming days…
In today’s mix I bring you William Collins (in the guises of William “Bootsy” Collins, Bootsy’s Rubber Band & Bootsy); The Average White Band, The Blackbyrds, Brass Construction and Brick:
- The Blackbyrds – Funkie Junkie
- Bootsy – Fat Cat
- The Blackbyrds – Do It Fluid
- William Bootsy Collins – Landshark (Just When I Thought It Was Safe)
- Average White Band – Person to Person
- Bootsy – F-Encounter
- Brick – Dazz
- Brass Construction – Changin’
- Brick – Good High
- William Bootsy Collins – #1 Funkateer Excon (of Love)
- The Blackbyrds – Walking In Rhythm
- Brass Construction – Love
- The Blackbyrds – The Blackbyrds’ Theme
- Bootsy’s Rubber Band – She Jam (Almost Bootsy Show)
- William Bootsy Collins – Countracula (This One’s For You)
- Brass Construction – Movin’
- Average White Band – Feel No Fret
If this music is your thing, I suggest you kick back, pull on the headphones and enjoy…
Jazz, Funk, Disco? Not that it matters, it's the groove that counts...
