  You Bet Your Love

Happy Valentines Day moggers! Here's a tender love song for you by Herbie Hancock. I had never heard this before until last month and for some reason I can't get it out of my head ever since. The whole album is pretty good too. If your into that sort of thing. I didn't realize Herbie had a disco side to him. He totally went bananas on this album.

It's finally Friday, and it's a great day to wrap up the Mod/Psychadelic/Freakbeat section of my 60's alternative jukebox. There was some pretty funky tracks spinning back then. Let's honor Herbie Hancock, whoose "Jonie Letters" took the best album Grammy this year, with a track he contributed to one of my fave filmaker's classic's. Michaelangelo Antonioni's "Blowup" was the Italian filmaker's ...

  Watermelon Man

As you may or may not know I have been going through a heavy jazz phase here on Mog. Trying to school the unschoolable you might say. I have mentioned "Watermelon Man":http://mog.com/I_am/blog_post/86503 in a past post. At the end I mentioned musical connections will be made. Here's one of them that has come half way (yes, there is more to come). Herbie Hancock wrote "Watermelon Man" back in 19...

Although midnight approaches, it’s still Friday on the West Coast, and rather than being in a mood to carouse (that’s on the agenda for Saturday night), I’ve been in a – wait for it – funk. To get my ‘tude retooled, I went looking through the archives for something amusing and lively and rhythmic. And I found an unassailably cool video of a groundbreaking, Grammy-winning 1983 single by

  God Make Me Funky

ksiglutz,If you liked Headhunters, Check out Sextant (1972), too, for more afro-funk rhythms w/Herbie.More importantly seek out the same musicians minus Herbie onThe Headhunters-Survival of the Fittest (1975). This space-funk-fusion slammer features the awesome breakbeat-vocal freakout, "God make me funky," which has been sampled byAlex Cortiz’s “Room 505” Biz Markie’s “Albee Square

  Ostinato

In the late 60's Miles Davis' second great quintet was breaking apart as Miles was heading into ambience, rock n roll, and funk. His bandmates were headed for great things, includng Herbie Hancock.Hancock's music of the period ranges from the clearly funky to the murky waters of the fusion he was still playing on some of Miles' records such as _In A Silent Way_ and _Bitches Brew_.His groundbre...

Funk on the edge of time. Funk that don't know anything but itself. Funk for the sake of being funk. Funk that doesn't even have to try, it just is. Outside of James Brown, the funkiest mofo around just might be Herbie Hancock. In the far down the line future, when we're all as on the edge of our own world existence as i currently am, this will be the soundtrack. I guarantee it, Clyde...

  Edith and the Kingpin

Jon O of Gemini Soul posted an excellent review of this record a month or so ago, you know, the kind of review that compels you to check the music out. I did, and finding myself in a record store last Monday (a friend and I had tried to go see I'm Not There at the dollar show, but the newspaper times were wrong) I picked up a copy of my very own. It's proving to be one of my favoritest cds.Jon ...

Hancock composed this for the film "Round Midnight". I never knew there was video of him doing a complete performance live. He's in top form here.

No words, just revel in the funkiest shit ever pressed to vinyl. Let it run all over you. Back days passed when I actually had a job this was a favorite "Early Morning Musical Selection" of mine, like a t seven AM. Made me real unpopular with the white folks,. Like I care about alla dat.. Y'all just don't know Lester like I know Lester.
