Funk, Jazz, Disco – Part 3

In Mixes

Wayne Henderson - Emphasized

Wayne Henderson - Emphasized

Jazz, Funk, Disco?

Pt III – Further along the LP shelf

Welcome back crate diggers, continuing the ongoing theme, here are some more 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.

As before these are monster tunes from monster artists and come from LPs produced between the late 60′s and mid 80′s. This is part 3 of 4.

In today’s mix I bring you Parliament, P-Funk All Stars, Wayne Henderson, Funkadelic, George Clinton, Gary Toms Empire, The Whole Darn Family and the Ohio Players; 12 tunes for you to sit back and enjoy with the brew (or smoke) or your choice:

  • Agony of DeFeet -Parliament
  • Acupuncture – P-Funk All Stars
  • Get The Ants Out Ya Pants – Wayne Henderson
  • Get Off Your Ass And Jam/Night Of The Thumpasorus People – Funkadelic/Parliament/George Clinton
  • Man’s Best Friend – George Clinton
  • She’s Something Else – Gary Toms Empire
  • Body Language – Parliament
  • Last Dance – George Clinton
  • Who’d She Coo? – Ohio Players
  • Skin Tight – Ohio Players
  • Seven Minutes Of Funk – The Whole Darn Family

If this music is to your liking be sure to pop back soon for part 4, which has the special addition from Christopher CoShea Campbell that I referred to before.

Pt II – More from the LP shelf

Welcome back crate diggers, continuing the theme I started the other week, here’s some more 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.

As before these are monster tunes from monster artists and come from LPs produced between the late 60′s and mid 80′s. I expect this to be part 2 of 4, based on the number of LPs I’m pulling from the shelves.

In today’s mix I bring you Ultrafunk, Gary Toms Empire, P-Funk All Stars, George Clinton, Parliament and the Ohio Players; whilst only 11 tunes in this mix, it’s 66 minutes long; so as always grab a seat, or pull on your dancing shoes and enjoy:

  • Who Is He (What Is He To You) – Ultrafunk
  • Everybody Up – Ohio Players
  • 1-2-3-4 (Let’s Do It Again) – Gary Toms Empire
  • Generator Pop – P-Funk All Stars
  • Party People – Parliament
  • Computer Games – George Clinton
  • Love Rollercoaster – Ohio Players
  • Use Me – Ultrafunk
  • Say It – Ohio Players
  • My Ladies Run Me Crazy – Ohio Players
  • Kung Fu Man – Ultrafunk

If this music is to your liking be sure to pop back soon for parts 3 and 4, including a special addition from Christopher CoShea Campbell (son of the late William Edgar Campbell, aka Eddie Campbell of ‘Eddie & Ernie’ fame).

Funk, Jazz, Disco – Part 1

In Mixes

Brass Construction - Masters of Rhythm

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…
