This review is from: Funk Elements (Audio CD)
This is one weird compilation.
Funk elements starts out with funk: "Quit Jivin'," by Pearly Queen. Just as you start settling into your platforms, the jam car starts swerving all over the place. There is Latin Jazz "Latino Loco" by Nelson Petion, Jimmy Smiths "Tea For Two Mambo,:" some Western Swing, some dancehall. You could plausibly argue all these form branches on the funk tree. Listening to this reminded me more of hearing a really good free form radio show than hearing an album: there are loose connections but not a solid sound that binds everything together. If you have this on while doing something else you stop to recall if you changed the CD and forgot. I like it, but if your looking for solid 1970s stomp, this is not the album to get. By the way, if you think you vaguely recall "Quit Jivn'" you probably are right. DJ Shadow sampled the horn break on "Number Song," on Endtroducing..... |
