Cliff Bordwell Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I always like hearing new bands, especially ones that are on the Funky side. As far as JamBands go, what are some of your favorites? Here are a couple of my favorites. Robert Randolph and the Family Band Medeski Martin and Wood www.cbbasses.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachg Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 both great bands. one thing about RR- i mentioned him to someone i was jamming with who's seen him three times(as an opening act) and said that they never change their set list, not even the order of their songs. i love MMW. they're truely *amazing*. i have the combustication album, as well as john scofield's A Go Go(they back him up on the album) good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getz out Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Favorite jam-band? Not sure. I'm not sure what qualifies as what anymore. How about the Allman Brothers Band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONUT Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Have you heard The Grayboy Allstars? It was the band that Robert Walter and Carl Denson was in. If you haven't,check them out. The Allstars or anything by either of those guys. They get lumped into the whole Jam Band thing even though its funk (IMO). You could check out some older stuff too,if you haven't. Later Jimmy Smith and Grant Green,JB's,Maceo and the Macks,Meters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy c Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Well, if you're going to mention the Greyboy Allstars, let's mention Karl Denson's Tiny Universe Dave Sisk saw them a few weeks ago. They are funky. They jam. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalhair Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Not really new but I really like Steve Kimock. A drummer hipped me to him about a year ago. Would the Brooklyn Funk Essentials qualify? They're not new, they are seriously funky and the get played on the Sirius jam band station. Widespread Panic does a cover "It's Gettin' Hot in Here" which is pretty cool. check out some comedy I've done: http://louhasspoken.tumblr.com/ My Unitarian Jihad Name: Brother Broadsword of Enlightened Compassion.

73 P Bass Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I generally like a little more structure than a "jam band" which is not to say I don't like when a band jams out a song, but typically, I like a little more structure.

cloclo Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 i saw plantlife a month or so ago. wow! there was just a little crowd but they still gave everything! they GROOOOOVE and are as tight/thight (?) as hell. the only thing that bothered me was the dj, because she didn't do much and when she did, it could do without... for the rest : perfect!

Quinn Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I expect I'll get flamed for this, BUT... It doesn't get much funkier or jammier than '77 Dead - especially a Help->Slipknot->Franklin's Tower from that era. I also love Herbie Hancock's Headhunters Band (particularly the version with Paul Jackson and Mike Clarke.) Galactic are definitely funky and they jam, too. The Slip are good - their bass player is way funky and plays a cool fretless Jazz Bass. John Scofield's Au Go-Go (with Medeski, Martin, and Wood is funky and jams hard, too.)

Jimbroni Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I Agree with Karl Denson, and Robert Randolf. I don't about MMW, I love em, but I don't call that funky. How about Parliament/Funkedelic? Together all sing their different songs in union - the Uni-verse. My Current Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloclo Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 oops, almost forgot: the New Mastersounds these guys know how to groove, they're down to earth, open-minded, and have a constant smile on-stage! i've only seen them once but they made quite an impression...
