Erykah Badu: [video:youtube]

 

I love Erykah and I LOVE this Soulstage set - whoever is the MD/arranger in this particular lineup is a master. The "On & On ... & On" segment (which is now only on Youtube in a camcorder-pointed-at-the-TV copy) is one of the best live performances I've seen by anyone in the last five years. I would probably pay $50 if they would sell a darn DVD. Is someone asleep at the switch at VH1?

Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker

I'm a big fan of Jon Cleary. Maybe a little more New Orleans/Meters/Professor Longhair/Dr. John than your examples, but a kickass band and KB player.

Holy Mothership Batman! This thread is a veritable funkucopia of funkaliciousness. We gotta make it a sticky, because it will take me a month just to listen to all the artists here.

 

I do want to pick one little nit, the OP said:

 

So name some really hot, hard driving cuts, post, 1999!! Bands whose genesis was after 1999.

 

Most of the stuff posted here are bands who got their start in the early 90s or earlier.

 

But I don't care -- it's a great list! :thu:

That was the dark side of my post ( you happily pointed out the light side ) What are todays young people coming up with?

Been there, done that. ;)
This time I'll provide some evidence.

I've been following the Pimps of Joytime for years. They're finally starting to get the recognition they deserve, playing NoLa jazzfest and Sierra. They don't have a dedicated keyboard player and they deliberately use some cheesy keyboard sounds, but aside from that . . .

 

 

Also Orgone.

Again, I don't see why we have to make the distinction. However, if you are keeping score, I'd say that the 90's, not the 00's, are a more accurate split point. It seems to me that the bands playing since the 90's are still alive and kickin', creating new stuff all the time.

 

Did you listen to all the stuff posted, MissRT? Because I'm having difficulty taking your renewed question seriously with all the kick-ass shit that's been posted. Honestly, listen.
