 Jazz Funk Recommendations So I really like some of the funkier jazz guitar music. There have been some cool albums from Grant Green, Benson, Burrell even and some other fairly well known names. I am wondering if there is more? I listened to Lee Ritenour 3 Condors song recently and thought that was cool as well. I don't mind Scofield but don't really find myself getting in a groove with his stuff (ie. too intense/technical). Anyways I would appreciate a list of funky players. Especially if from more recent times.     |

| Will Bernard ...really liked him in Robert Walters 20th congress but he is always worth checking out. Charlie Hunter- check out garage a trois.He's always good though. Fareed Haque, not always funky but he's got the funk-check out garaj mahal Have you heard Scofield with Medeski Martin & Wood? Maybe not jazzy enough I don't know...I like it.

| We probably all have a different idea of funk, but I've always liked Eric Gale's stuff. Brad

| How funky are you looking to get? Maceo Parker's "Life On Planet Groove" is great for the funk side, or, as he puts it: "2% jazz, 98% funk and stuff." The guitarist on that is Rodney Jones. He's awesome. If you want to keep it more on the jazz side, there's always Soulive. Along those lines, there's also Stanton Moore. He's a drummer, but he does some trio albums with guitar and organ and has a full band called Galactic. Someone else mentioned Scofield with Medeski, Martin, and Wood. They've done a few albums, but the only one I know is "A Go-Go," which I also really like. |

| So indeed evrybody thinks different about "Funk- Music". When I wanna hear funk, I'll listen to the bands of Tower of Power and Angie Stone. Ofcourse if you don't like vocal music then evrything stops. |
