Everything I Play Is Funky
CD (Item 19987) Blue Note, 1970 -- Condition: New Copy
The title's no lie -- because the album is one of the shining jewels of Lou Donaldson's legendary funk years for Blue Note -- that second period when he returned to the label at the end of the 60s, and really helped redefine the sound of soul jazz at the time! The format here is very much the same as other Donaldson classics from the time -- like Hot Dog or Possum Head -- in that the tracks are long, open, and plenty darn grooving -- locked in some funky rhythms that feature Idris Muhammad on some very heavy drums! Other players are great too -- and include Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Melvin Sparks on guitar, and Lonnie Smith on Hammond -- all cooking things up nicely on tracks that include "West Indian Daddy", "Donkey Walk", "Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky", and "Hamp's Hump". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
