Mainstream Funk

by Various

supported by

Robert Bloemkolk My third compilation of the Mainstream label. And again: it's a joy. I remember as a kid not getting this music, I was growing up with Bowie, Reed and whatever was hip during the early seventies. Well, it's never too late. Favorite track: Blue Mitchell - Last Tango In Paris.

geoff millington First listen, only on the 2nd track and it’s a mixture of funk and jazz. Brilliant record. Live it.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
