loving the band name and track... i think you need to get to a studio and record this professionally... jazzfunk forever!

[soulsurfermusic]

@slapmyfunkybass I hear you! I would really like to do that, but we're currently world's apart. Perhaps one day...

[TheJackTrades]

[TheJackTrades]

This song is awesome, i really want to hear of that style, is there any band that makes similar songs? I´ve tried searching "Soul Surfers" but i've found nothing.

[soulsurfermusic]

Great track. Sound quality isn't the best, but I really enjoy the groove.

You shouldn't be from Denmark by any chance? Just guessing by the names.

And on 0:57, is that a picture of Playa de Levante in Benidorm, Spain?

[danilomarrone]

@0eyvind Hi! We were a band out of Sweden. We had a lot of fun with this song. It was recorded in a four track home studio back in 1998.

The pictures were taken here in Hawaii by a family friend; I moved here eight years ago.

[GrafPsychofarmaca]

Bad quality...

Nicely done, but actually I can't judge if the recording qual sucks or it's youtube.

[soulsurfermusic]

We recorded the song on a four-track portable studio as a demo track. The tape was then transferred to an MP3 file and then uploaded to YouTube...

[GrafPsychofarmaca]

Try putting it mp4

[carandboatnut1]

[minkrediblegeneral]

[studiomanuel]

ohh good this os my world!!!

[3rdreichorrike]

im totally with grumblekin. im just recently getting into funk/jazz/acid jazz and im just in it to hear nice bass lines and smooth beats.

[grumblekin]

The song is awesome, but why does every groovy song need a woman screeching in a high pitch about love?

Can't we just get the funk alone?

[Perbrill]

Check out Incognito - Jazz Funk album - Summers Ended or Parisienne Girl very little soul warbling.

[bluespuppet]

Yes indeed. That is Per Wallgren on bass. He is the grooviest bass player I've ever had the pleasure of working with. There is a reason why we decided to give him most of the band's solos. Thanks for your kind remark.

[owenhunt]

Ah, this song is ace. I'm just on the precipice of getting into acid jazz. Having been a fan of the Chilli Peppers as a child and Jamiroquai, I decided I sought the music with the funkiest bass lines, and found this.

I seldom ever see acid jazz in music stores however, any recommendations as to where I can pick up some of this groove gold?

[soulsurfermusic]

I'm really glad that you like the song. If you're looking for more groove-based songs, then I would recommend Eddie Harris (check out the song Listen Here) and Lou Donaldson. The Brand New Heavies and Incognito are two bands that really helped define the modern Acid Jazz sound. There's also St. Germain. Ultimately, in my humble opinion, the roots of Acid Jazz are found in the seminal Blue Note jazz recordings of the 60's. Check out Wes Montgomery's song Tear it down.

Seriously cool bass line!
