spongebob Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Great doc on BBC4 last Friday about MG - probably still on the iPlayer. I love MG - Damon is spot on - you don't see acts like that any more. Other week I watched 'Soul Power', the film about Zaire '74 - the Ali fight and music festival around it. Loads of James Brown (whom I also adore) and the whole thing is sooooo recommended! Owwwww-eeeeeee!!

chaypup Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 ooo nice Aria pro II SB-900 (or SBR-80?) being used there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 This is the best MG video on youtube, if not THE best video on youtube full stop: [media]http://youtu.be/E0V4DTfcLDQ[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Soul Power documentary is fantastic - I force my kids to watch James Brown's performance every now and again just so they know how it should be done. Not sure if they're that impressed, but it keeps me happy Also, the Fania All Stars/Celia Cruz jam on the plane is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakenewmanbass Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1371507368' post='2114907'] This is the best MG video on youtube, if not THE best video on youtube full stop: [media]http://youtu.be/E0V4DTfcLDQ[/media] [/quote] Fab! This just shows the extent to which these people are steeped in the tradition of Jazz. If you compare the singing, the bass playing and the harmony instruments to the original recording there is a huge amount of improvisation going on. These guys are jazz players, I know many of you will hate this being pointed out but sorry gents it's the irrefutable truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
