uncle psychosis Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I can't stand Jamie Cullum but that was actually quite good. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1482421275' post='3200446'] I like the ethos, learning a song quick and then recording it, but this jazzed-up version just isn't to my taste.

Heathy Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Very good, but still prefer the original by Fleur East Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapiro Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Its well played, but I dont see the point. It juts misses the whole point of uptown funk. ie that it is funk. Any well drilled function band with a horn section will do it far better, and is something great to play in when everyone knows all the little riffs etc that are there.

bubinga5 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Yeah liked that. Didn't blow me away. But prefered it to the over pop original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Really enjoyed that - like the way they kept the ascending bass part in the breakdowns as well.

JapanAxe Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I enjoyed that very much. I like a cover that takes a song somewhere different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 An improvement, but only because the original's a candidate for most over-rated song of the 21st century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Each to his own - I had it down as one of the best songs Prince never wrote. I liked it so much I bought the download, but I have to admit my listening pleasure has diminished somewhat with playing it so many times on gigs!

[/quote] I don't think it's about taste. I'm not sure it's mine. However, my taste is seeing how these talented pros can get together and simply make their ideas work. Lots of high end talent and ability in this clip. Everything is not about what we personally like. And whether I like it or not, I'm in no position to be critical of those whose talent and ability exceeds mine by light years.

This was out last year sometime. Terrific bunch of Musicians (Nashville studio players). The brass arranging towards the end is great writing.
