Also, I'm not sure about a jazz thread, partly because I think I have even less of interest to say on that than on funk, and partly because the selection is more dominated by a few people - out of at a guess 130 jazz albums, 25 are by Grant Green, 22 (this is from work and therefore from memory so may be inaccurate) by Charles Mingus, 17 by Jimmy Smith and that's already half of it. I think Funkadelic may be the only act in the funk three-quarters to hit that high a count, and that's out of 370 or so. I may have something to say about Grant Green, but it seems unlikely I'll have new things to say about each of his albums.

I cannot comprehend this (not that I would question Martin's knowledge).
just listen to "Shiftless Shuffle" by Herbie or Sunburst by Eddie Henderson and you know why.
Sunburst is one of my favorite albums of the era. Galaxy: UNGH!
"Never Buy Texas from a Cowboy" is easily the best thing the Brides of Funkenstein did. Rhino Handmade needs to reissue the album of the same name, just so it can be back in print.

If I was you Martin, I'd check I hadn't died and gone to (funk) heaven.

I'm hoping Martin might review some of his own collection eventually to enlighten us all more.

Yeah, sorry, I got things mixed up. Harvey Mason was the drummer for the original Headhunters, but Mike Clarke replaced him, and does indeed play on Survival of the Fittest.

My parents have a Tijuana Brass Band lp of Beatles Covers that someone gave them many years back. I doubt it's ever been played.

Otherwise Martin's opinions so far are pretty close to my own - you'll dig the other Betty Davis albums. she sure was sumthin.

The 70s Grant Green is jazz-funk so im sure that A) you will love it B) write about it. The live albums are wonderful.
and Martin... Funkadelic will NEVER be too heavy rock for me.

That looks a bit scant for the jazz, but I've been really liking almost all of the Mingus, Jimmy Smith and Herbie Hancock (that's almost 50 albums between those three).
