ok people...this is probably the funkiest jazz-rock piece i´ve heard in a long time...
the bands called "sea level", and the song "fifty four" is taken from their ´78 album "on the edge"...drummer on this record is joe english, former drummer of the wings(with paul and linda mccartney)...
its so great...this is jazz, disco, funk and rock and blues......at the same time!!!!
sea level - fifty four
this is a re-issue of the 1979 relase"rise" by herb alpert...
herbt alpert, an exceptionally gifted trumpet player and co-founder of the huge a&m records provides us here with a classic...
and for those of you who arent big trumpet-fans or whatever...wait until the middle of that song to experience a super-groovy hookline thats been sampled by the notorious b.i.g. ...here´s where the good stuff comes from!!!
worth a listen: herb alpert - rise
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
Wa-oo-oo, wa-oo-oo,
Wa-oo wa-oo wa-oo wa-ay...
