Silly Putty - The Original Jam sampled by Today's New Cats

There's a certain kind of jam to which mostly fellas respond. "Silly Putty" from the "Journey to Love" album on the Epic label 1977 is one them. A purely instrumental tune, it's loaded with a funky attitude and Stanley Clarke's approach is smokin'... with a vengance.

I am sorry it wás george duke lol :) got mixed up myself whoa :)

Indeed it was 75 not 77. Also you name all kinds of keyboard players -names he indeed played with- but the keyboardplayer on silly putty was frikkin' Jan Hammer, not "that's gotta be george duke" as you say proudly at 3.14.

Also in the section played in A you mix up the minor for the major scale in youre singing.

And indeed it was his 3rd not 2nd album album. Love your spirit , but get you're facts straight :)

i'm 29--heard this tune when I was 15 sifting through some records in the music room at school. Almost fell of my seat! From then, I continued to investigate Steve Gadd and Stanley...awesome!! They don't make music like they used to.

That must be Steve Gadd on the drums. That sound like Gadd's signature playing style.

Oh... And it was 1975, not '77.

But I dig how you're gettin' into it! Go 'head on!

"Journey To Love" was Stanley's THIRD album, coming after "Children of Forever" and "Stanley Clarke".
