[ugocrazy]

Vive lefonque!

[fromBulgaria]

yeaa

[djazzjob19]

guys are having a blast...good to see some of the fruit of first experimentations between jazz and hip hop

[decus69]

Atleast Kenny G does it well.

[koreanrice05]

does anyone have any idea on where i can get a transcription of this piece?

[t5239857289578947594]

This was on the Men In Black soundtrack.

[MFSilverOxide]

DJ Premier would have been nice on the turntables instead of DJ Apollo.

[FourElementFusion]

@MFSilverOxide

Nah not on the scratch!

[BandyMac]

I can't stop revisiting this.... He got the best sounding alto IMO.

[Thomaso88]

I agree, this is an awesome recording. I love the jokes Branford pulls with Calderazzo at the beginning of the theme. Personally, though, I prefer Kenny Garrett's alto sound, but Branford's sound is a great second.

[BandyMac]

This is a knock-out-punch-in-the-face for the fellow pop saxophonist aka David Sanborn, Dave koz, Eric Marientals, Kenny G..... :o)

[BandyMac]

He is like saying I will just play one good pop song for you :)

[gnatucci]

this is fucking awesome !!!

Funk is alive!!!!

[fnkdrmmr]

Nice groove. I like the mixture of Jazz, New Orleans style funk, with elements of hip-hop. Nice Post.

[bkjbs762]

I can't believe Charlie Parker used part of Buckshot's song for Donna Lee, check it out!!!

[dominian42]

lol

[PascalOnoff]

@bkjbs762

Au contraire!

[Bassplaya919]

@bkjbs762 you mean the other way around?

[bkjbs762]

@Bassplaya919 no, i knew buckshot way before parker

[HendrixcommaMartin]

@bkjbs762 You do know that Parker came about 50 years before Buckshot, right? Also, Donna Lee is by Miles Davis.

[bkjbs762]

@HendrixcommaMartin do you know ANYthing about jazz?~! know your classics man! Donna Lee is by Jaco Pastorius, after parker stole it from miles davis aka buckshot le fonque

[HendrixcommaMartin]

@bkjbs762 Cannonball was Buckshot Lefonque, not Miles.

[rodmanian]

Yes , Flowjazz is right, they play the melody from Donna Lee at 2:55'.

[BlackHammondB3]

I've never seen Branford play alto before.

[mafatu69]

Rock on! Bran's the man

[FlowJazz]

OH MY GOD ! The Donna Lee transition was OFF THE CHAIN !!! Yo that was hot ! Plus look at the band line up ...killin

[madchops82]

I bought one of his cds for a dollar...pretty good...not great

[MFSilverOxide]

Did you by Buckshot LeFonque's work or Branford's other groups.

[futboler454]

Donna Lee? Is he serious?

[MajinHS]

[hopima1]

[loucolman]

[Camtomcamille]

BUCKHOT ROCKS

[GBJPhotoWorks]

What's funny about this is that I started the video and walked out of the room. From outside the room, something about the piece reminded me of the Brecker's "Some Skunk Funk", then I come back in and notice the title is "Some Cow Funk". Hmmm? Maybe there's something to my initial impression. Carl... I'm totally digging the slide work!

[cdubsoul]
