Re: Miles Ahead
I'll say, I do like some legit FUNK, but not much jazz / funk fusion. Sugarfoot, RIP!

Re: Miles Ahead
the real funk will never die, JB, the Meters, Parliament, Funkadelic, Ohio Players, Curtis, Sly, Marvin, the Isleys, Bohannon, Miles, so many others, it needs no defense whatsoever ....
same goes for the cool jazzy funk and funky jazz guitar records by Eddie Fisher, Eddy Senay, Donald Austin, Freddy Robinson, and others, Grant, George, Wes, Blow By Blow, and more ... that's what I like in the jazz-funk vein ....
a funk 45 freak ... when Chet posted Girl in the Hot Pants by Soul Bros Inc. last week it made my day ....
a wise man once confided to me his secret to maximizing musical pleasure: "I like it all man, as long as it's good" .....
some of the biggest funk freaks in the country live in this town, it comes with the territory ....
anyway ....

Re: Miles Ahead
You really should check out Chico Hamilton's funky-fusion stuff from the 70's, he was seriously miles ahead of Miles during this time.

Re: Miles Ahead
To be honest Joey I wouldn't take it personally, or get upset. Hep is a listener of jazz is probably motivated by his pleasure of the music. When you're a player or enjoy theory you'll probably take something else from the music. Hep might very well be right and I dont like it stylistically, but I dont know much about jazz theory after bebop, blues and early modal, so I might get something out of it.

Re: Miles Ahead
Just listening to Doo Bop, arguably the forerunner to Trip Hop? With this in mind it's head of its time you could say, main trouble for me is that loops are quite dull, the harmonic movements sound corny over samples, and the rhythm of Miles playing doesn't make up the interest over the loops a rapper would. And the rappers that are there aren't really doing much good

It's kind of a mess.

Re: Miles Ahead
Part of what I like so much about the music I like is the ambiance, the timbre, the resonance of the instruments. My beef with a lot of funk/rock/jazz fusion is that the signals get all squashed. The irritating qualities aren't relegated to the musical performances alone; it's also a sonic problem.

Re: Miles Ahead
This is what I see Doo Bop kind of inspiring, a great record I picked up in the mid to late ninties that really got me into jazz via trip hop and the sampling culture of hip hop

Re: Miles Ahead
An interesting note about Doo-Bop is that Miles died before they finished recording. I'd have to Google it to see exactly which songs were completed by him, but about half the album was put together from previous sessions of Miles in the studio. They took recordings of him from the previous months and built new tracks around them.

Re: Miles Ahead
Did I miss someone promoting the notion that to be a musician means you must like all music because you understand the mechanics of it?
