Who do you turn to when you have the envies for funk?
FYI, envies, pronounced on-vees, is a cajun term for when you have the need, wants or have to haves for something usually food or music. As I cull and play grade my vinyl collection I am not so very surprised by how much funky music has made its way into my collection and thought it would be interesting to see who others go to for their funk. My go to artist for the most part are War, The Meters, Professor Longhair, Earth Wind and Fire, Sly the Family Stone, J Geils/Peter Wolf, George Clinton, James Brown, and Curtis Mayfield for the most part. Please add yours as I am always looking to get more funk in my life. Thanks for reading. Enjoy the music

Personally, I like to find undiscovered funk. Meaning it may be something that’s very new, very old or in between, but it is music I’ve never heard before and discovered. And since funk is definitely up my alley, there’s a thread here on audiogon that has some serious funk on it, that you may or may not have heard of before. Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music. And this is something I discovered here on the audiogon thread Jazz for aficionados. Grant Green - Let The Music Take Your Mind (1970). And here is something I plan to listen to later on in the day Quincy Jones with The Brothers Johnson album titled - Mellow Madness 1975. Please enjoy. |
