Having recently bought a Tower of Power cd I am ever drawn to the funky bass playing that is Funk Music. Does anyone have any reccomendations for any funk music that is well worth a listen?

I already have the following:
James Brown Live at the Apollo Sly and the Family Stone Parliment Mothership Connection Jamiroquai
I have to say, Parliments Mothership connection is what really got me in to the funk styled music. Jamiroquai is always pretty cool,well apart form the really new stuff which I'm not that keen on. Too young to die is my fav.
I'll have listen to some of the other you suggested.
Do you know of any Bootsy Collins CD'S that you could recommend?

Fishbone was another great funk-metal alternative band! Ohio Players is another Love Rollercoaster ...and Mike beat me to the Rick James!!! "I'm Rick James Biaaatch!!!" and don't forget the earlier Prince stuff.... Controversy and Purple Rain

Not the best recording, but its clearly raw War
WAR: Rehearsals & Jams 1978 - 1979 VOLUME TWO of TWO Presumably Recorded In Los Angeles Master Cassettes > Fostex X4 > Phillips (I forget the model number of the stand-alone burner) CD-R > FLAC Air recording First Seeded to Lossless Legs (shnflac.net) 1/07
1. Low Rider Oct. 3, 1978 2. Tightrope* Oct. 3, 1978 3. Instrumental Jam 2 Sept. 30, 1978 4. Thinking Of You* Feb. 6, 1979 5. War Jam* March 3, 1979 (5:30 A.M.) 6. Instrumental Jam 3 March 3, 1979 (5:30 A.M.) 7. Why Can't we Be Friends (Jam) Oct. 3, 1978
All Titles Marked With An Asterik (*) Are UNKNOWN To Me And are Simply Named For Identification.
The Backstory: Back around 1994, a very good friend of mine was driving around San Pedro California and happened upon a garage sale being held by a former member of the band WAR. In flipping through a box of cassettes, he came across four TDKs marked simply 'Rehearsals And Jams' along with the dates (and sometimes time of day) of recording. My pal knowing I was a fan of WAR swooped them up for me. On recieving them, I was astounded by what I was hearing. There was a LOT of blank space, dead air, chit-chat and tuning. There were also a bunch of previously unheard originals by the band, as well as some serious jamming, some of which positively scalped me (Jam 1 on Volume 2). When I bought my first CD-R burner (figure 1998), the first project I went for were these tapes. After listening to the entire batch, I transferred just the music and came up with around 2 hours worth of really fine stuff. Now I am happy to share them with you. I detest bootleggers that make up song titles, yet here though I am no bootlegger, I am making up a lot of song titles. Sorry, any set-list help will be appreciated. In transferring the music, I simply popped the cassettes into my Fostex 'porta-studio' and ran them dry. No EQ work has been done, and absolutly no NR was used. I started each track where I could hear the first recognizable pattern of a rhythm, song, or jam emerge even if the band were talking over the beginning. A couple of tracks are cut at the head, this is when their recorder was actually being switched on. In terms of quality, These are NOT a board or pro recording. They sound as though they were recorded with very good mics placed as close to whatever they used for a vocal PA as possible. The stereo seperation is wide and deep, all due to mic placement. Again, I have not altered the sound of the cassettes in any way. There is some distortion as the vocals peak, and I do wish their was more instrumentation up front, but overall this is a very nice recording. Enjoy the tunes, folks!
