Hawk’s Friday Funk for January 15, 2010

Posted by Michael on Jan 15, 2010 in Funky Stuff | 0 comments

It’s mid winter, an early morning and pretty grey outside.   Times like this, I’ll turn to groovy jazz funk to get my head noddin’ first thing in the morning.   Here’s one to get your day going, Forty Days by Billy Brooks.  Sampled to fame by A Tribe Called Quest about 20 years ago, this original gem was released back in 1974.   So many classic jazz instrumentalists of the 60s got into the funk in the early 70s and this is a prime example.  If there was only 40 days left for winter, that’d be cool.
