Jazz Funk Record Unkown Artist & Title

[PerryHemus]

Yeah it's Jakuzzi, came out on GRP in the 90s

[JazzFunkSouldier]

@PerryHemus this one was from 1980 on creole records, must of done a re issue

thanks for the comments will look that one up.

[DTTBStu]

It's a band called Jakuzzi and the track is called "Ricochet"

[JazzFunkSouldier]

can i ask how you know this, and many thanks years waited to find out

[DTTBStu]

Yep , no problem .

I bought the record when it first came out .I was a huge Brit Funk fan at the time and collected loads of tracks .I originally wanted to be a DJ before I got into actually making music .

Glad I could solve the issue , shame you had to wait so long .

Cheers

Stu

[johnybb2000]

[chardelli]

Americas?

[zros06]

I had this track on an LP. Try Miles Davis, Lonnie Eustin Smith, Roy Aryes, I will search as it's now go me thinking. Keen Jazz Funker

[grooover]

Could be something by Morrisey Mullen

or Mezzoforte or Casiopea

but do not know for definate.

[kerionrogers]

hope you findout who the artist is,sorry i couldn't help.peace & love.

[kerionrogers]

nice track,sounds a bit like breakfast band,got that la14 sound or maybe the inversions.i've not heard this track and i've been into brit funk,jazz funk since day one.

[JazzFunkSouldier]

so has Chris Hill and he does not know the track?

[shaftieboy]

Good track,must be a brit jazz/funk band, possibly Paz, Breakfast band, or Touchdown, I wish I had a copy,good luck and keep searching.

[JazzFunkSouldier]

not breakfast band, i have almost all there stuff and i would say Paz is a long shot but you never know?

[nufunkypeople]

More than likely Brit jazz funk. Or poss Japanese.

Have you tried searching for the release ref. On the run in. For some reason a lot of this style came out as white label promos only.

[jonnyfatlegs]

al di meola?

[smoogus]

I thought it might be Fatburger but it's got that Brit funk thing going on. Is it at the right speed ?

[JazzFunkSouldier]

hahaha, yes it's the right speed

[tdrukker]

charles ealand perhaps?

[tdrukker]

or even Earland...

[owtherdrove]

yes and its driving me nuts! I'm trawling through Larry Carlton, Faze One, Shakatak, MC Mastercuts Jap Jazz compilations, Jeff Lorber, all sorts. I think you have a very rare import there by a one off trio or 4 piece consisting of master like Lee Ritenour, george Duke, Harvey Mason and people like that but for the life of me I can't put my finger on it. For sure I've never heard it but its brilliant (coming from a 43 year old Funkateer)!!!!!!.

[owtherdrove]

Lee Ritenour?

[JazzFunkSouldier]

about the best call to date, but if it is it's not one i know or one others know and i would have thought a track this good would of come to light by an artist as good as him.

[owtherdrove]

Freeez?

[JazzFunkSouldier]

No, i wish it was that simple

[Credo1958]

Rah Band perhaps.

[JazzFunkSouldier]

No not the Rah Band,

[grooover]

Could be Caseopia (japanese jazz funkers)

or an outside chance it's Mezzoforte (icelantic Jazz funkers)

[JazzFunkSouldier]

not jap that's for sure, and i have most of Mezz 's stuff it ain't them, and this i got around that time. other top DJ's including Chris Hill do not know this track so i think it has to be a band trying to break the ground or a collusion of artists

[ssammysam]

Could it be a demo copy by the Breakfast Band??

[JazzFunkSouldier]

good call, but i can't see it.

[funkzapp]

Sounds to me like an very early tape from LEVEL 42. Listen to the Bass

[JazzFunkSouldier]

defiantly not L42 but i hear what your sayin'
