The Future.....NOW!


Paging Nathan Phillips......Paging Nathan Phillips.... We have 4 more people in the emergency room because you funked them up again.... gawwwDAMN this cut is funky. Slap my bace right off my man. Pleasure is one of the few jazz funk bands who actually seemed to get better and better the more they recorded! Unlike some of their contemporaries, who kind of lost their edge when the production got slicker, Pleasure actually picked up more of a beat, and tightened up their act in a way that made for some of the funkiest and most soulful moments of their career. I encourage all bass players to snag diz monsta.. so they can treat themselves to a 400-level university course in bass playing.
Check out "Glide (Radio Cut)" for some warm vibes in the wintertime babbbbbbBbbYyyY!
Comments are appreciated

Mr. Jamaica Funk



Here's a (Q)-Tip .... Listen to more of Queens own Tom Browne baby!







Now I know a lot of record labels are gonna come atcha with the fiery funk but a couple notes from a jew himself (me) - Rosen and Grusin now how to spin a dreidle, and spin a funky pie on their GRP label which Browne dominated on his 1979 release, "Browne Sugar." MmmMmM and how sweet that sugary pie is with horn stabs being held up under an army of slaps! Listen to that pre-chorus key change and how the slap bass smacks you right back onto the dance floor just when you think you're about to climax. Alright enough talking more listening.... link it baby!
