I-missRichardTee Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I am older, somewhat annoying dude around here, But I have a more open mind than it might appear. So name some really hot, hard driving cuts, post, 1999!! Bands whose genesis was after 1999. Now I am not talking technique unto itself, I am talking about an intense groove machine. Here are some artists/ bands, that comes to mind from the mid to late 20th century. James B Average White Band Stuff with Richard Tee most band Steve Gadd graced Earth W fire Eddie palmeri Tower O P Tommy Sims Michael McDonald Marcus Miller Herbie's Hancock's Headhunter band Chick Corea's Return to Forever early Motown hits- though as time went forward, the groove weakened Jaco Elvin Jones Tony Williams So many cuts, but here are a few good ones Bonnie Raitt's "Something To Talk About" Aretha "Respect" Annie Lennox "Would I Lie to You" Steely Dan "Aja" These are the latter part of 20th Century. Those who wish to refute my bias towards the past, please do so, I really want to hear new and intense grooves.

Nillerbabs Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 For something along those lines, I like to highlight Nils Landgren Funk Unit. Awesome. For album references I'm most keen on Funky Abba and Live in Stockholm. I'll keep an eye on this thread though - I'm poor at keeping myself up to date on this sort of music. That's it for mainstream funk for my part. You edit your post - I edit mine For something somewhat along the lines of the Headhunters, only with a more funky vein, check out the album Wired Up by Bentzon Brotherhood. Highly recommendable, I'm a diehard lover of this album. It would also be wrong of me not to mention: - Kresten Osgood: Hammond Rens. With Lonnie Smith and Michael Blake. - Joshua Redman: Momentum Some epic grooving in these albums. The latter more on the funky side of things, former more in the jazzy department.

I-missRichardTee Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 I just listened to Nils Landgren Funk Unit "House Party". I found a bit of a surprise, I felt the horns had more of a groove than the rhythm guys. That is not always the case. Any way, keep 'em coming. Just listened to Funky ABBA this is very interesting music... thanks ! Leader singer, is a heck of jazz trombone player, extremely good... and his groove is serious. More more more!

moj Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Lettuce - In the 1990's a bunch of Berklee grads loved the funk and took over the jam scene in Boston. All they said was "Let us play!", "Let us, let us play!". [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Pierce Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Well, it's probably not that surprising that the two artists which spring immediately to mind are outta New Orleans: 1. Papa Grows Funk 2. Trombone Shorty Give 'em a listen on youtube or whatever. I'll probably think of more, but I'm at my day job at the moment and gotta get back to it... --Dave Quote Make my funk the P-funk. I wants to get funked up.

mynameisdanno Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Gamble Brothers Band. Start with Back to the Bottom. Janelle Monáe. Some of the album is more typical contemporary pop stuff (still great), but Tightrope is as funky as anything that's made it through the major label machine this decade. [video:youtube] Allen Stone. [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToAecdI2SZ4 Jd73 (who I believe is a forumite, or once was) [video:youtube] And +1 to most of what's above. My favorite D'Angelo video isn't up here yet so here it is. Pino just slays me every time I watch this. [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 The first two that come to mind for me are The Roots and Soulive. Also, I remember seeing that Janelle Monae performance on Letterman and being absolutely blown away. It was the first time I ever heard of her and thought she and the band simply knocked it out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJUSCULE Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I'm kinda wondering why we need a separation? A lot of the artists in the OP are still making music today, just like many artists in the responses were making music well before Y2K. With that being said, let me get you some links. Can't be a bad thing to share! [video:youtube] NSFW [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IddzCxEsM2U [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUFu-QKLSlU&feature=related [video:youtube] I shouldn't spam with links (Ok, I already did ) But, other artists you should check out include: BADBADNOTGOOD, Christian Scott, Chris "Daddy" Dave, Erykah Badu, Gnarls Barkley, Hiromi's Sonicboom, Magnum Coltrane Price (Nils Landgren's bassist and co-producer), Medeski, (Scofield), Martin and Wood, Metalwood, Movèzerbe, Rabnett 5, Ruckus Fo'tet, The Ruff Pack, Sheryo, The Souljazz Orchestra and Zony Mash. That's off the top of my iTunes library's head. There have been some fantastic suggestions and there is plenty more out there. There's a lot more good music around and coming.
