Motown Jazz-Funk

[TomatoTom123]

Never really been into Jazz-Funk, but when I was checking out some lesser known Motown artists, I came across a group by the name of Dr. Strut... and then fell in love with this absolute JAM!

Check it out... :D

I had Dr Strut recordings on vinyl. You should check out the Motown group Cook County song "Funky Get It". Also Motown had a jazz group call Flight and they were pretty good.

Hey blkfrost, I downloaded all the Dr. Strut LPs from online and I like them, I have to say.

I’ll check out that group, and that song! Sounds interesting...

Oh yes, I found out about the ‘Flight’ group while researching too... I remember they did a great instrumental version of The Jacksons’ “Shake Your Body [[Down To The Ground”...!!

Hey you’re welcome Paul, I’m glad you liked it. I just love it!

In fact, I love this track so much, I just spent at least 2 hours faffing around on iTunes trying to set it as my ringtone... at last I did it!!!!! Can’t wait for someone to ring me, heehee :D

By the way, I checked out Cook County and their Pinball Playboy album, and, well, I like it! Great disco-y jazzy-funky type thang.

Tight groove

Can’t find it on YouTube but there’s a great Dr. Strut cut [[!) called “No, You Came Here For An Argument” which I love

If Jazz-Funk could ever be described as ‘argumentative’ that track really is... lol

How ‘bout some jazzy Junior Walker?

This certainly is funkin’ insane

[TomatoTom123]

Not sure if this counts as instrumental jazz-funk but then again I’m not sure the repetition of “ba” counts as lyrics either... :)
