In the hiatus between the #Funky50 & the start of #50DiscoClassics, you can fill the gap by having a look at previous recommendations from my extensive record collections:
There's 100 ProfDJ #KillerCuts
and if you wondering what jazz music might be interesting to listen to there's 50 tracks to explore at #JazzIntro
and while there is some crossover between the hashtags (some brilliant tracks appear under more than one heading), there's plenty to entertain yourself on a (here) rainy Sunday

50 funky tracks for your streaming pleasure, No.48
Johnny Guitar Watson. A Real Mother For Ya
Johnny Guitar Watson delivers a killer funky groove, with a fab rhythm arrangement & some great horn stabs alongside Watson's usually laid back vocals. Edging towards disco this retains the funkiness that typifies Watson's best work & if you like this, check out Superman Lover, his other funky masterpiece. What a groove!

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.47
Eddie Harris. A Little Wes
Eddie Harris has a distinctive tone & on this mid-tempo groove, he uses it to great effect. A sort of modal, latin rhythm backs Harris' lead sax, as well as great relaxed guitar & piano solos, while the track loops along offering a hypnotic groove. The swirling groove is atmospheric & reminds me of a late night bar... which is when I often play it in DJ sets.
[also #KillerCuts No.98]

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.41
Willis Jackson. Soul Train
Willis 'Gator' Jackson has a great saxophone tone & here its deployed on top of a driving modal R&B rhythm to great effect. A mash up of jazz & late 60s soul sensibility this is a great bit of early jazz fusion that always fills the dance floor.Hope you enjoy its uncomplicated charms.... back to back with yesterday's track you've got a great ten minutes for dancing!
[also #KillerCuts no.67]

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.26
Yusef Lateef. Nubian Lady
This down-tempo funky flute led groove is a wonderfully soulful bit of jazz funk. The great jazz playing & a funky rhythm sensibility makes this a Prof DJ jazz night staple - I've lost count of how many people ask me what this is when its on the decks. A relaxed track that gives Lateef's brilliant flute playing the showcase it deserves. Enjoy

50 jazz tracks for your streaming shuffle, no.17
Gary McFarland Sextet. Pecos Pete
This is a lovely little bit of groovy jazz; a pulsing rhythm track, some great relaxed solos with Garry McFarland's vibraphone anchoring the entire track. Its effortless cool & demonstrates when McFarland could be an excellent arranger. Its over 60 years old this still sounds fresh & modern right now.
[this also appeared as #KillerCuts no.59 but is so good I just had to list it again]

Today a new series of recommendations for your streaming shuffle starts.
After the vote of Easter weekend, I will be sharing 50 tracks to help you explore jazz music if you're not familiar with it & want to see what the genre entails.
the posts will appear under #JazzIntro. which you can follow for a daily recommendation
There may be some (slight) crossover with #KillerCuts but I'm aiming for a shuffle that will be a good introduction to what jazz encompasses - enjoy.

ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, bonus track (no. 101)
Junior Parker. Taxman
Tomorrow #JazzIntro gets under way, but while you're waiting how about grooving to a funky Beatles cover. Not sure this is how George Harrison imagined this would sound, but it a masterclass in taking a song & injecting bluesy funkiness into it to give it a different feel altogether - enjoy your bonus track!

Following Killer Cuts, I'm now thinking about what I might do for my post-Easter music posts..... here are two possibilities, please let me know which you are more interested by...
-
For those of you interested in such things, this account is now among the 1140 most followed accounts on Mastodon....
I just wanted to thank you all for following, reading & commentating on what I have to say each day....
and if you're not following, why not give it a go; you'll find a lot of political economy, some discussion of music (see especially the #KillerCuts posts) and regular book reviews as well as commentary on arts & the university sector.

Killer Cuts has reached it 100 tracks & I will be taking a pause from music recommendation until after Easter.
You can find all the track recommendations by using the hashtag #KillerCuts
If you use Qobuz then @clinfoot has been assembling a ready made shuffle from the list - thanks, and a salute from this Chris to another!
Hope you have enjoyed the selection & have added some (all?) to your shuffle.
Will be back in a while with another music 100....

ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.100
Candi Staton. Young Hearts Run Free
This soul-dance classic marries a wonderful uplifting semi-disco arrangement with a song about being stuck in a abusive marriage. What's funny is how often this has been requested at wedding parties I've DJ'd; really not the right message for the newly wed couple if anyone listened to the lyrics properly. Still a great record, which always fills the dance floor.
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.99
The Specials. Ghost Town
This classic bit of British political reggae remains a timeless critique of inequality & racism in the UK. Driven by a spacey (dubby) reggae backing & haunting organ, it delivers a mesmeric message of decline which over 40 years latter hasn't lost its potency as a protest record... and it still sounds great too!
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.98
Eddie Harris. A Little Wes
I love this Eddie Harris mid-tempo groove, which gets going after its brassy intro. A sort of modal, latin rhythm backs Harris' famous electro-sax playing as well as a great relaxed guitar& piano solos while the track loops along offering a hypnotic groove for your listening pleasure. Always reminds me of a summer evening... relaxing & chillin'
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.97
Sanatana. Oye Como Va
Santana's cover of the Tito Puente standard was perhaps the first time I ever heard latin jazz (albeit here rockified) and it remains a favourite track some 50 years later. Taking the great latin rhythm & chants of the Puente classic & adding the organ & guitar sound of Santana just blew my mind, but you can also check out Puente's original for a different (more latin) take. A classic either way!
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.96
Mike Post (with Larry Carlton). Theme from Hill Street Blues
A bit of nostalgia for you today, this great theme by Mike Post brings back memories (for me) of one of the greatest police series ever shown on TV, and is a great bit of 'sophisticated' LA jazz. Its a very pleasing piano led, down tempo evocation of the early morning (for the titles of HSB). If you're of an age, this will take you right back to Rollcall!
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.95
Stretch. Why Did You Do It
Written in response to a music business 'betrayal' Stretch's only hit single is a great bit of rock-funk. Its a driving funk rhythm with a great sparse production including some great horn playing and backing its signature gravelly vocals. Its a bit like a sort of mutant Average White Band, which they never managed to repeat (perhaps they poured all the outrage into this one song?)
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.94
Led Zeppelin. Kashmir
Led Zep's Kashmir is a bit like a heavy rock version of Ravel's Bolero, a hypnotic repetitive swirling rhythm slowly building (albeit with added vocals from Robert Plant) into a cacophony; I was a big Led Zeppelin fan in my teens but this track transcends that early enjoyment, making it into killer cuts entirely on the basis of its mesmerising quality.... they knew what they were doing!
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.93
Jackie Moore. Make Me Feel Like a Woman
This is great bit of southern soul with a strong blues inflection; great horn section arrangement & a blues rhythm section back Jackie Moore's strident vocals to make this a soul classic. It may have been recorded 50 years ago but sounds as fresh today as it did then - just brilliant!
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.92
The Gap Band. Outstanding
This is a great bouncy, mid-tempo dance track, driven by a great rhythm arrangement & the Gap Band's vocals; its a great example of where modern soul was in the 1980s. But, its also a case of the 12" remix completely ruining the thing that made it such a great groove (so stick with the original LP version). Just lovely!
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.91
Pink. Stupid Girls
This is a great bit of feminist pop (and the video is great too); a driving pop rhythm backs a politically engaged Pink bemoaning the way that women's aspirations are narrowed by popular culture. Just goes to show that pop can be political (and doesn't have to sacrifice musical appeal, to be so)... and is perhaps more often political that we might assume. Punch that fist in the air!
-
ProfDJ's killer cuts for your streaming shuffle, No.90
Samm Henshaw. Church
This glorious gospel-infused track caught my attention nearly a decade ago (you'll have guessed mostly I listen to older music) and it really stood out from much else I was hearing on the commute to work (on the radio). It's a wonderfully up-lifting vocally led track with a great rhythm track featuring some groovy piano playing. Enjoy
