So i'm listening to James Brown now. What are some other artists i might want to check out? Essential recordings?

Direct me, please!

Desecrated · 04-06-2008, 04:18 PM

Sly and the Family Stone,
George Clinton and Parliament
Funkadelic
Curtis Mayfield
Bootsy Collins

And of course; "I'm Rick James bitch"

I suggest you check out Graham Central Station and the other Larry Graham related stuff.

Stanley Clarke had a damn good stab at Funk music, for a Jazz fusion player!

And then for the natural progression of Bass playing, listen to some Victor Wooten. All things lead to Vic

OzzyC · 04-06-2008, 04:37 PM

Tower of Power?

Listening to Vic will only highlight one's incompetence as a bass player.

But since we're talking about Funk/Jazz bass players:

Louis Johnson
Marcus Miller

As for essential recordings, I'm not sure if it classifies as 100% funk, but Herbie Hancock's "Headhunters" is a great album.

Esp Griffyn · 04-06-2008, 05:15 PM

I'd put Headhunters down as a Jazz Fusion album, but it is a decent album. Vastly overrated imo, definitely not the greatest fusion album of all time like some people bill it!

If you want a surprise and something new, try Jamiroquai - Official Website

It's along the same lines with some new flavors thrown in.
