We had a quintet record at HairyLarryLand yesterday. We did four songs and we scored 4 out of 4. The music makes me happy. 2 originals and 2 standards.

1 White Rats And Meerkats
2 1625 Groove Street
3 Lady Bird
4 Softly As In A Morning Sunrise

I have completed audio post so it's on to the album art.

I hope to have it available soon on the Live Music Archive and Bandcamp. Next week Spotify, Youtube, and everywhere.

JAYSON HOOVER
Jayson Hoover
1974 Canada pressing

A little #funk -y #soul for breakfast.

Some of the bass lines on this album are truly nasty, fuzzed out and elastic. Funky is an understatement.

Hoover was Canadian, from #vancouver #BritishColumbia and I stumbled upon this record while flipping through a soul section, so I just threw a dart at it.
Man it’s really good.

Hoover was once on the same bill as Vanilla Fudge & a young & upcoming band named LED FUCKING ZEPPELIN.

ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.83

Bruno Mars. Uptown Funk

There's a reason this bit of retro dance music was a massive world-wide hit; its just brilliant. From it knowing quotes from lesser knows dance classics (try & spot lifts from Jam on It or Chuck Brown), to is up-dated hard core funk rhythm, Mark Ronson's production offers Bruno Mars the perfect showcase for his strutting vocals. Always a dance floor filler & justly so!

LIJADU SISTERS
Double Trouble
1984 U.S. & Canada pressing

Where to begin with THIS wonderful record…

Kehinde + Taiwo Lijadu were identical twins. They made 5 awesome records; ALL mixed #funk #soul #afrobeat #reggae … a rad melting pot of amazing music.

This first came out in ‘79 (under the name Horizon Unlimited), in Algeria only.
It was then reissued in ‘84 in North America (this) & again in 2012 & 2024.

The bass &percussion on this is amazing.
