chris_b Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Info from the Youtube vid.... "From Marching In The Streets 1975. Easily the greatest album ever by funky drummer Harvey Mason -- and quite possibly the only one to live up to the rhythmic complexity that Mason brought to countless other fusion sessions for other groups in the 70s! The tracks are all spacious and snapping with brilliantly funky touches -- a sound that resonates with Mason's contributions to Johnny Hammond's Gears album, but which comes off slightly differently here, thanks to a stronger focus on the drums. Keyboards are still a prime element of the set -- played here by Herbie Hancock, Dave Grusin, and Jerry Peters -- the latter 2 of whom helped out on arrangements for the record -- and other players include an all-star lineup of 70s jazz funk legends such as Blue Mitchell, Bennie Maupin, Paul Jackson, Hubert Laws, and others." So my guess would be Paul Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is heavily influencing my style at the minute. Can't get enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
