Show #33: January 22 - 28
Show #33 - Swinging jazz! How do YOU define funky music? Is it just the backbeats of James Brown, or is there something more undefinable that makes something funky? I investigate this phenomenon this week with a look at some songs that are out of the timeframe that people normally consider for "funk music". Check out Art Blakey's 'Cubano Chant' from 1957, and the awesome 'Boss Tres Bien' by the Quartette Tres Bien from 1964. We've also got groovy European jazz, and some library tracks, including one of my favorites, 'Misty Canyon' by Sven Libaek. The whole thing finishes off with some spiritual jazz in commemoration of Alice Coltrane who passed away January 12.
