Pazant Brothers : Loose And Juicy
Tonight’s third post is the final post of by Pazant Brothers trio of tunes; this one if by far my favourite tune; this is Loose And Juicy, released on Vanguard (35191), it’s yet another produced and arranged by Ed Bland.
This single is released with the band name as The Pazant Brothers And The Beaufort Express; but I am unable to find any information on who else contributed to the single besides Al & Ed.
I am assuming this was released in 1975 to coincide with the release of the album of the same name.
Loose And Juicy is, not surprisingly, a horn driven monster. A full five minutes of funk, with female vocals, some awesome hammond work, sax solo and sympathetic drumming to back up the horns. Have a listen and perhaps you will understand my preference for this over (the more widely acclaimed) Skunk Juice.
The flip, Back to Beaufort, starts off with the usual Pazant horns, but unlike most Pazant tunes has male vocals (doing more than just shouting!) and some nice woodwind instruments. Not as infectious as Loose And Juicy, but worth a listen none-the-less.
I hope you have enjoyed the trio from Ed & Al… as I said in the original post, if you know of any more 45s missing from my discography (or have any Pazant tunes you’re willing to part with); please do let me know.
Sam Dees coming up soon…
