[2003] The Family Secret [Oteil & The Peacemakers] ''FLAC''

The Family Secret

This CD is a hidden gem of modern jazz headed by a brilliant master of the six string bass guitar. This is very creative, non-derivative jazz-rock fusion. True fusion, not R&B/Brazilian inspired smooth happy jazz. Although Oteil's playing is very much influenced by drummers and the R&B/funk influence is there too, the music is another branch on the tree started by Miles and branched into Tony Williams Lifetime, Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

A lot of people tout Victor Wooten, but Oteil is right there with Victor, Marcus Miller, Alphonso Johnson and whoever else you can think of.

Genre : Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Funk, Pop Jazz, Jazz Rock, Soul, Funk, Smooth Jazz.

[1975] Funky Stuff [Soul Media] ''FLAC''

Funky Stuff

This album is incredible, truly well-named -- funky stuff, indeed. Fat bass, good variety of guitar sounds, nice horns and organ, crisp drums ... it is an instant favorite!

Instruments and song writing is on point. Great cover of Kool and the Gang's "Funky Stuff"... and track 2 "Funky Motion" is absolute killer! The reissue ain't cheap though!
