The Funky Knuckles - Delicious Bio The Funky Knuckles Super Awesome Biography: The Funky Knuckles is a world-class jazz orchestra made up of genetically-enhanced cybernetic supermen. Their mind-blowing rhythms and harmonic complexity will shatter your fragile psyche and leave you drowning in a pool of fresh llama milk. The band members are as brilliant as they are handsome and have been featured as sidemen with Janet Jackson, Stanley Clarke, Larry Carlton, and many others. Recent albums have topped the iTunes Jazz charts, and they will be spawning their 4th album in November 2019. The Oracle has foretold that this album will revolutionize the sport of music for generations to come. This unstoppable crime-fighting squadron will make you dance like a kraken on meth before you burst into tears of joy which can be combined with powder from a ground-up cobra skull to synthesize the elixir that allows you to pass through solid objects. Press Bio: The Funky Knuckles belong to a new generation of improvising musicians, challenging the constraints of genre, but never losing sight of the groove. This is not your typical funk band... or jam band... or jazz band. The Funky Knuckles are something different entirely. This is the improvised music of the new generation, and it is continuously being re-defined, even as it is performed. In recent years, Texas has gained a reputation as a hotbed for groove-oriented improvised music, and The Funky Knuckles have been a part of that movement for over a decade. It is a common occurrence to hear world-class musicians sitting in at their weekly residency in Dallas, and band members can be seen as sidemen with Janet Jackson, Stanley Clarke, and Larry Carlton. The Funky Knuckles are releasing their fourth album, “Delicious” in November 2019 on Ropeadope, and will be touring domestically around the release. .

Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea Has Attained Iconic Status in Music
Chick Corea Bio 2015 Chick Corea has attained iconic status in music. The keyboardist, composer and bandleader is a DownBeat Hall of Famer and NEA Jazz Master, as well as the fourth- most nominated artist in Grammy Awards history with 63 nods – and 22 wins, in addition to a number of Latin Grammys. From straight-ahead to avant-garde, bebop to jazz-rock fusion, children’s songs to chamber and symphonic works, Chick has touched an astonishing number of musical bases in his career since playing with the genre-shattering bands of Miles Davis in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Yet Chick has never been more productive than in the 21st century, whether playing acoustic piano or electric keyboards, leading multiple bands, performing solo or collaborating with a who’s who of music. Underscoring this, he has been named Artist of the Year twice this decade in the DownBeat Readers Poll. Born in 1941 in Massachusetts, Chick remains a tireless creative spirit, continually reinventing himself through his art. As The New York Times has said, he is “a luminary, ebullient and eternally youthful.” Chick’s classic albums as a leader or co-leader include Now He Sings, Now He Sobs (with Miroslav Vitous and Roy Haynes; Blue Note, 1968), Paris Concert (with Circle: Anthony Braxton, Dave Holland and Barry Altschul; ECM, 1971) and Return to Forever (with Return to Forever: Joe Farrell, Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreria and Flora Purim; ECM, 1972), as well as Crystal Silence(with Gary Burton; ECM, 1973), My Spanish Heart (Polydor/Verve, 1976), Remembering Bud Powell (Stretch, 1997) and Further Explorations (with Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian; Concord, 2012).

SMV: Stanley Clarke/Marcus Miller/Victor Wooten
SMV - Stanley Clarke - Marcus Miller - Victor Wooten In an era where sports fantasy leagues are all the rage comes a real-life historic teaming that serious music fans and bass players have long dreamed of. SMV unites music titans Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten. This unique alliance of three generations of bass gods has been on chat room and fan gathering wish lists for over 15 years, kept alive by periodic statements from all three that schedules permitting they would give it a go. Finally, in October 2007, with Clarke set to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from Bass Player magazine, at its annual Bass Player Live! event in New York City, Miller and Wooten made the time to attend and induct their mentor. The ensuing VSOP jam not only blew the minds of the 900 in attendance, it cemented for the trio their inherent musical chemistry and thus the viability of pursuing the project in earnest. As a result, in January 2008, SMV entered the studio to record a CD and put together a summer/fall tour. The three recall their first performance and the sessions for their disc. Says Clarke, “The second we started ‘School Days’ at the Bass Player event I knew it was historical for us and the audience. Marcus and Victor are so intuitive, and we each found our range. Marcus was slamming down the groove and Victor started playing these harmonics chords, and I was like, man, this is so bad-ass! When you have that amount of knowledge, respect and love it always creates clarity in the music.” Wooten admits, “To work with Stanley and Marcus has been a dream come true for me.

Louis Johnson
LOUIS JOHNSON Approfondimenti a cura di Riccardo Pantella LOUIS JOHNSON “ THUNDER-THUMBS “ Quando si parla della tecnica dello Slap spesso vengono in mente i soliti nomi di grandi musicisti, ad esempio Larry Graham che si sostiene ne sia l’inventore. Ma è impossibile parlare di questa tecnica e non citare Louis Johnson, che di certo è stato uno dei pionieri ed ha contribuito a svilupparne la tecnica. Per via del suo stile distintivo venne soprannominato Thunder-Thumbs. Da non sottovalutare le sue numerose collaborazioni come session man. Tra le più importanti potremmo citare l’album “Thriller” di Michael Jackson. Probabilmente ciò che ha dato un grande contributo alla sua carriera è stata la sua ampia musicalità e senso ritmico. BIOGRAFIA Nato a Los Angeles il 13 Aprile del 1955, Louis ﬁn da subito mostrò un forte interesse per la musica. Suo padre regalò presto una chitarra a lui e a suo fratello George, che subito cominciarono a suonare a turno. Louis era attratto dalle note gravi e cominciò a suonare le linee di basso che ascoltava sui dischi di artisti come James Brown, The Temptations and The Supremes.. Fu così che suo padre decise di regalargli un basso, e passò poco tempo prima che Johnson cominciò a strappare e percuotere le corde per dare più groove a ciò che suonava. Tutto questo si è evoluto nella tecnica dello Slap, rendendolo un musicista di fama mondiale. Mentre era ancora a scuola a Los Angeles, insieme al fratello George e il cugino Alex Weir formarono i “Three Plus One”. Band che si è subito evoluta in un contesto professionale condividendo palchi con artisti come The Supremes e Bobby Womack.

FUNK MEETS ROCK ★ FLEA: FUNK CHOPS WITH PUNK ATTITUDE BY KARL CORYAT AND SCOTT MALANDRONE, FROM 1992 AND 1995 INTERVIEWS ★ Flea’s personal musical interests are centered around jazz, but it’s the energy and ethos of punk mixed with the style and techniques of funk that have driven him and his band, the multimillion-selling Red Hot Chili Peppers. Despite three times being voted Best Funk Bassist in the early ’90s—granted, it was at the pinnacle of funk-rock’s ascendance—Flea would describe himself less as a funk bassist and more as a player with an individual style, firmly grounded in punk. “My playing has always been very physical,” he noted in 1992. “A constant whackeda-whacke- da-whack. I don’t do it to impress people; I just play what’s fun. Understand that my roots are in punk, which was all about playing hard, fast, and loud. As the Chili Peppers got more and more funky, it was a natural evolution: the energy of punk translated into the music we felt like writing.” Flea has also plied his funky chops on such hit songs as Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” and Young M.C.’s “Bust a Move.” How did you first start slapping? In high school, I saw some guy slapping on a bass, and I thought, “Wow, that’s cool.” So I started doing it.

Stanley Clarke Currículum I Discografia
STANLEY CLARKE CURRÍCULUM I DISCOGRAFIA www.stanleyclarke.com Nascut a Filadèlfia, Clarke es va traslladar a viure a Nova York després d’acabar els seus estudis com a baixista de formació clàssica a l’Acadèmia de Música de Filadèlfia. Ràpidament, va saber fer-se un lloc en l’escena del jazz de Nova York, tocant amb músics de la talla de Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon, Pharaoh Saunders, Gil Evans i al costat d’un jove compositor i pianista aleshores incipient anomenat Chick Corea. Tots aquests músics van reconèixer immediatament la gran destresa i musicalitat del jove Clarke amb el baix acústic. No només era expert composant, sinó que també funcionava com a controlador de temps al baix. Stanley també tenia un gran sentit de la lírica i de la melodia que va obtenir de la influència dels seus baixistes preferits Charles Mingus, Scott LaFaro i del seu gran heroi musical, John Coltrane. Amb els anys, Clarke va buscar la manera d’impulsar el baix com una alternativa viable en la posició de solista melòdic i, de fet, va ser l’únic excepcionalment qualificat per a fer-ho. L’oportunitat va sorgir quan Clarke i Corea van formar la banda de jazz/fusió elèctric “Return to Forever” i Clarke va provar de col·locar el baix a la part davantera de l’escenari d’un concert. “RTF” (Return to Forever) era un aparador per a cada una de les fortes personalitats d’aquest quartet musical. Clarke sovint deia “realment en aquell moment no ens vam adonar de l’impacte que estàvem tenint en la gent.

CLARKE/DUKE 4 "BRING IT" Tour
CLARKE/DUKE 4 "BRING IT" Tour (Note: They would like the 4 to be larger than the rest of the type in the name of the tour) Clarke teamed up with keyboardist George Duke in 1981 to form the Clarke/Duke Project. Together they scored a Top 20 pop hit with the single “Sweet Baby,” In 1981 George Duke and Stanley Clarke began their official collaboration together with the release of Clarke/Duke Project, which produced the top ten smash hit, “Sweet Baby.” In total they have recorded three albums. Over the course of their funk‐filled and genre‐smashing collaborations, Clarke and Duke have created performances full of fun, energy and exceptional musicianship with a big bottom and keyboard flights of fancy. More of the same fantastic musical roller‐coaster ride is on the way with their new CLARKE/DUKE 4 “BRING IT” Tour. It has been six years since they last toured together and both are looking forward to the CLARKE/DUKE 4 “BRING IT” Tour. Clarke remarks, “I’m looking forward to these performances, because the most fun I have touring is with George. We have a good time together. We’re both older and more experienced. Our repertoire is more all‐encompassing and much more diverse.” Duke adds, “Touring with Stanley is always a good thing, because he’s a nut. He’s the younger brother I never had. We each have different perspectives on music, but at the same time a lot of similarities. It’s the diversity of our backgrounds that makes it interesting.
