This best of collects a variety of vintage mid-1970s wide-lapel funk from the remarkably enduring career of Johnny "Guitar Watson," who first appeared on the R&B charts in the early '50s and was performing right up to his death in 1996. The jazzy hit "That Thing," with its Crusaders-type arrangement, and his classic "A Real Mother For Ya" are the obvious highlights, but the slow-burning "Funk Beyond the Call of Duty" and the humorous monologue of "Telephone Bill" are also minor gems--and you've got to love a guy who can call a slick, sophisticated slice of silk-sheet R&B "I Want to Ta-Ta You Baby."

Sergio Salvatore has the odd fortune of resembling child actor Fred Savage from TV's "The Wonder Years, " and that could have plagued the public's openmindedness towards taking him seriously as a major jazz talent, rather than just a cute novelty. Fortunately, deep talent has won out and the prodigy, now a teenager, has bloomed into a multi-faceted composer/performer. A true product of the 90's, he not only named ...

| | Reverend Gary Davis Vintage Recordings (1935-1949) CD (1994) Import
Best Of The Funk music CDs
$14.05 
Reverend Blind Gary Davis really wasn't a blues player, and although many of his advocates like to call what he played "holy blues," he seldom used the form, and when he did, it was in the guise of an evangelistic street performer who needed something secular to occasionally hold a crowd. What he was, as these early 78s show, was a skilled, and at times breath-taking, guitar player with a strict fundamentalist approach to spiritual matters, making him, literally, a guitarist for God. These are his earliest recordings, most of them recorded in New York in 1935 for ARC Records (Blind Boy Fuller also made his recording debut at these sessions), when he was using a metal-bodied National resonator guitar, and the rest from the mid- to late- '40s, when he was playing a standard acoustic. There are only a couple of blues pieces here (including the stately "I'm Throwing Up My Hands," which opens the sequence), with most of the sides being skilled re-workings of church hymns and folk pieces. While it is tempting to call this material "gospel-blues," and that is an accurate term to some degree, the truth is that these generally aren't blues progressions at all, and it might help to think of Davis' guitar work as an attempt to fill in where a piano or organ might normally ...
