Funk Meets
 This Meets That $16.98 3 1/2 Scofield has cultivated a guitar tone and approach that, while familiar in electric jazz, seems entirely his own. But while the always exploratory, legendary player offers yet another full disc of proof as to why he is a singular force to be reckoned with in that scene, TMT cannot help but falter numerous times to compositional inertia and intellectual noodling, giving off an impression, despite several amazing moments and several great tracks, fleeting sounds of progressive irrelevance are noticeable.  The Very Best of the New Birth Inc.: Where Soul Meets Funk $7.99 Well, I now own pretty much the original albums, issued to CD, including "Coming Together," but I've always had one problem with this compilation. It's missing "Come Back Into My Life" which was a 45 single that my Mom used to play. I had forgotten about it when I first bought this CD because the songs on it still makes this a solid collection. I found a lot of the originals now (2 just released some months back) so I'm cool now. This band is still relevant to this day because a lot of the social ills of the 70's still do exist. I just wish these youngsters would give this CD and others like it a few listens for what slow jams and real soul is about (seems like soul music is non-existing anymore... hmmmmmm) I'm currently looking for more of the Warner catalog as I do have one Japanese import, and I hope there are more. |
