50 funky tracks for your streaming pleasure, No.48

Johnny Guitar Watson. A Real Mother For Ya

Johnny Guitar Watson delivers a killer funky groove, with a fab rhythm arrangement & some great horn stabs alongside Watson's usually laid back vocals. Edging towards disco this retains the funkiness that typifies Watson's best work & if you like this, check out Superman Lover, his other funky masterpiece. What a groove!

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.47

Eddie Harris. A Little Wes

Eddie Harris has a distinctive tone & on this mid-tempo groove, he uses it to great effect. A sort of modal, latin rhythm backs Harris' lead sax, as well as great relaxed guitar & piano solos, while the track loops along offering a hypnotic groove. The swirling groove is atmospheric & reminds me of a late night bar... which is when I often play it in DJ sets.

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.41

Willis Jackson. Soul Train

Willis 'Gator' Jackson has a great saxophone tone & here its deployed on top of a driving modal R&B rhythm to great effect. A mash up of jazz & late 60s soul sensibility this is a great bit of early jazz fusion that always fills the dance floor.Hope you enjoy its uncomplicated charms.... back to back with yesterday's track you've got a great ten minutes for dancing!

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.26

Yusef Lateef. Nubian Lady

This down-tempo funky flute led groove is a wonderfully soulful bit of jazz funk. The great jazz playing & a funky rhythm sensibility makes this a Prof DJ jazz night staple - I've lost count of how many people ask me what this is when its on the decks. A relaxed track that gives Lateef's brilliant flute playing the showcase it deserves. Enjoy

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.17

Gary McFarland Sextet. Pecos Pete

This is a lovely little bit of groovy jazz; a pulsing rhythm track, some great relaxed solos with Garry McFarland's vibraphone anchoring the entire track. Its effortless cool & demonstrates when McFarland could be an excellent arranger. Its over 60 years old this still sounds fresh & modern right now.
