Happy Funky Friday, Folks. We made it.
This is new to me and damn is it good. Somewhat in the vein of Herbie Hancock and The Headhunters, plus a horn section. Smokin' hot #jazz #funk from Japanese drummer and bandleader Akira Ishikawa. h/t to my buddy Manchild for sending this one my way, just what I needed.

Cannonball adeptly navigated the evolving #jazz landscape through the 50s, 60s, and 70s, releasing a consistently relevant series of quality albums with top-notch guests and sidemen. #jazzheads

Somethin' Else (1958)
Cannonball & Coltrane (1959)
Cannonball & Nancy Wilson (1961)
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! (1966)
The Black Messiah (1971)
Inside Straight (1973) -
@massimobiolcati Thanks. Going to try again next round. Tweetbot has been my app for the other site and I'm interested in seeing how it translates over here. Keep up the great work with your app. Glad to see you here, seems to be a lot of #jazzheads around.

Donald Byrd tribute (2)
Contrast Byrd's work through the 1950's and 1960's with this track from his 1971 album Ethiopian Knights. The next year (1972), Byrd ventured into a more neo-funk, polished sound.
"The Emperor" (1971) is 15 minutes of straight-up, gritty, dirty funk.

Happy Birthday to Jazz Organ legend Jimmy Smith (1925-2005). Often called the father of acid jazz, Smith's virtuoso improvisation technique on the Hammond B3 helped to popularize the electric organ as a jazz and blues instrument.
Root Down is a 1972 live album, recorded in North Hollywood, CA on February 8, 1972 at Jimmy Smith's supper club.

@watty62 @mrcompletely @drummmerandy Well played, folks! Hats off to Andy for the Mose Allison bump. Nice chill vibe to that one. Hadn't heard the original of Young Man Blues on there. The Who version on Live At Leeds is a monster! "Something Else" seems to be a hit w/ the #jazzheads.
