George Duke "Funny Funk" from Feel
File Under: Synth Bass Funk
I suspected Mother may have posted this one and the archives indicate that was the case 5 years back. He was wondering what was funny about this funk. My guess is it's all the jokes that synth bass is telling. George is making this thing talk. Some fine Rhodes work in the mix as well and Ndugu's fine drumming puts this one over the top. Funny Funk
Just edited the credits. Ndugu probably was drumming on the whole lp. Not sure why he is only credited with one track on the sleeve. He drummed on Faces in Reflection the same year so it makes sense . . .
when I liven on guerrero street in the way way back times this guy across the way used to set out boxes of records on the sidewalk every now and then on sunny sundays. so many gems in there, I wish I had known all that the chimney has taught me. got this one for $1 at the time though....
The credits on this lp are spotty. Ndugu is listed as drummer/percussionist and composer on track A3 and Airto as percussionist on A2 - A4 and B4 and B6. The drumming style on The Once Over (A3) is very different than the rest. Whoever wrote the sleeve credits left a lot of holes in the picture. Airto gets drumming credits on a lot of jazz records from this era . . .
