Aux 88, not for everyone, but maybe the funkiest tune I have yet 2 hear, that bass/snare is relentless.
I also dig how they big up a synth, namechecking LFO, Gate, Frequency, Oscillators...

My problem with classic funk is that I do not find it funky enough, Parliament got it right with this though

Another crack at the far end of jazz funk from Resolution 88 -- here in a soulandjazz.com LIVE session:
Lots of nice soul and jazz there. Not so much funk. Odd. ... ...

Surely your thanks goes to Miles for enriching our lives.
- Don't want to be pushy and flood this thread with Miles but...
If the accent is on the first beat of the measure, you know there must be something funky going on.

I found a good reason to bring the funk back...sing, a simple, song!
Yep, it's Sly and the Family Stone. But I want to make a claim.
I want to claim that the guitar riff in 'Sing a Simple Song' started the whole jazz funk trend of the early '70s. At least it seems to have set McLaughlin on his ear. When Miles got the funk off, he admits he was inspired by Sly's music as was his girl friend who saw the money in it. 'Sing a Simple Song' as a whole, was the pure essence of the funkiness that would be passed down by James Brown by this time. That song I believe did the final damage to Miles, Michael Henderson/John McLaughlin in 1969 when it hit the streets on the 'Stand' record. It wasn't a real big hit, but I believe the big players knew what it was and what it meant. Miles became the substrate for all the boys to lay it all down, what became the sessions recordings early `70s, creating a new genre of jazz and jazz funk...and I think it all came from that one guitar riff. annode
So what do you think about that?
