These muthafuckas are getting the fuck off!!! Damn that drummer,keyboardist,lead guitarist and bassist are jammin...wait a minute...that was the whole band I just complimented.
I have to say ... WHAT A JAM!!!!! Love it! Still don't understand how Benjie's hands never get tired. Nice drum solo too! KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE! ~ Tray-C (Frederick,MD)
Nobody has said anything about the funky ass keyboard player! Not only his not-rushed pocket, but his imaginative and SERIOUSLY funky rhythm playing. AND a fantastic vocal scat along with his solo! BAD ASS WAH WAH and SOLOING, brother!!!
I appreciate and respect your opinion. Please understand I do not mean this the wrong way, however respect for Sean Rickman the drummer, a funk pro is due. Understand this video is not in a studio, and they are not a top 40 band. They are free flowing funky - fusion - expresssion. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE SOUL. These guys are not trying to be the Ohio Players they paying tribute to them with thier own expression. I appreciate your response though. Be a SOUL player!
Thanks for the response..Free flowing or not, busy playing is busy playing. He's (Drummmer) is playing fills thru every opening and transition..That's not cool in any genre of music, most notably R &B, Soul, and Funk.. He comes off as an amuture with no disapline. If he really is all that, as you say, then he should know this...Play homage to any style you're playing.. Funk, like Jazz is an art form with rules. Rule Number#1, the drummer must be the "tight"
One more thing brother. The drummer is tight with his other players. You can tell that even on this open mic recording. His fills and triplets in the changes are all tight, Maybe they are just to much for your taste. Thats cool though. Like I said I respect your opinion.
nice song one of my favorites from ohio players. I'm mexican but I like rythm and blues you guys are excellent musicians I like the solos in this song the guitarrist is a great ine. felicidades
We don't really have a name, just get together to do some shows and have some fun...

"You must not know what its like to get in the funk groove and play from your gut of expresssion"
I do know.. But, a professional must remember to "play together" as one. Like Morris Day & The Time. Funk has to be Tight!! or it's not Right..

Uh,They're also jamming in a small bar too...which i would guess gives more room to stretch.I don't hear anything distasteful..
Look at how D.chambers and Steve gadd play funk?
This is funk/fusion.just what i think if it matters.Not to mention,He's killin' it....
