@AlwaysGettingHopOns That must have been awesome. I play many instruments, bass being my forte, and I've always regarded this bass line as being one of the funkiest, movingest, jumpingest down right badass basslines ever!! Horn section is so tight. The only one besides BS&T and AWB is a band called Chase.
It's so funky I just can't help myself......OUTRAGEOUS......these guys combine the rare talent of being deferential to the RIP master James Brown keeping by him alive in the original grooves they write, then slam a bit of original SOUL POWER right in the middle when you're least expecting it.....funny thing is, the segue doesn't even feel like a segue, because they are sooooo close to the groove anyway......I don't have the words to descride how good this is.
Still Killin' it... after 40+ years. They are playing in Greenville SC on 6/5/12. I am so totally going. Even if I have to beg, borrow or steal the $36 for a ticket.
@drnubian Not sure what you mean by, 'He's no Chester Thompson?' Wasn't aware that Mr. Thompson played keys, thought only drums/percussion. Or are we talking about someone else here?
So freakin' tight it's scary! Garibaldi's technique is impeccable and what Mic Gillette does by so effortlessly switching back and forth between the trombone and trumpet should not be overlooked. The only time I've been able to see them live up until this point was truly a musical experience of a lifetime! THIS is hip!
