bubinga5 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Probably in my top 10 favourite Jazz Funk record's. Jimmy's bass playing is just way out there groove. Ferrante's keys are just fantastic...Bobby Lyle on Piano. I had never heard groove like this before until I heard this and mezzoforte Edited May 26, 2018 by bubinga5 delete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It sounds like the soundtrack to a yahcht sales video. Guessing that’s the 80s production. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmonically, the tunes were interesting & very rich sounding. BB5, I know you are into Piano playing as well, check out this short Russell Ferrante video on stacking/poly chords. It gives you an idea how they got those themes and chord structures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 It was that album that introduced me to Robben Ford. His first & The Blue Line album is still one of my top 10 albums, Roscoe Beck’s playing on it is sublime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Funny, but whenever I've seen them (online), there's not trace of any of them wearing yellow jackets. At least at Butlins, you could see red jackets.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFry Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Stacked piano chords from '72 , a year before Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters album ( 39:28 ) 26:12 Reminds me of " Revelation " by the Yellow Waistcoatswithsleeves and Robben Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisthebass Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Saw them at the Royal Festival Hall in 1991 supported by Lee Ritenour - one of the great fusion bands. They've been blessed with having a couple of great bassists in Jimmy Haslip & Felix Pastorius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the fact Haslip plays left handed with a RH string set up ie E string on the bottom makes it harder to play in his style. No matter what he is an incredible player and hugely entertaining musician. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
