Nearly time for this year’s Mostly Jazz, Funk and SoulFestival (or MoJaFuSo to those in the know) and the good folk behind it
all have well and truly excelled themselves this time. Not a duff choice on the bill as far as I can see (and that's rare for any festival) but here are a handful of the best to whet (or given the weather at the moment maybe that should be 'wet') your whistles. Even if you ain't going it's the perfect Friday soundtrack...Odyssey...what a tune! Enjoy...
George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic
Oh come on. The dude IS the funk. As close to a musical god
as you’re likely to see here on earth...or in space for that matter. Don’t be
surprised if UFO’s pack the skies when he’s on.
Family Stone
Okay, so Sly might be sadly missing in action (living in an RV by
all accounts) but the Family Stone are guaranteed to bring da party. And
you’re invited...hell yeah!
Introducing presents Endtroducing
In a strange kind of art imitating life sort of way a bunch
of musicians perform DJ Shadow's sampledelic classic Endtroducing live. Coming
soon, DJ Shadow sampling Introducing playing Endtroducing etc...repeat to fade.
Odyssey
Aaaaaaaaahhhahhhhh...I’m a native New Yorker. ‘Nuff said.
Fred Wesley and the New JB’s
The Godfather of Soul’s backing band during his legendary
early 70’s period led by original trombonist Fred Wesley. Brown was well known for
being the hardest working man in show business so, despite being dead, he might
well turn up and do a couple of numbers...hope he's still got this 'tache.
Tickets for MoJaFuSo available right here. May be some on the 'door' but don't bank on it...
