Tom Browne - Funkin' For Jamaica peformed by Lonnie Liston Smith @ Hideaway SW16

A totally awesome encore by Lonnie Liston Smith and his all-star band at Hideaway in Streatham in November 2012. The band struck up classic track Funkin' For Jamaica by Tom Browne and then led into If You Want Me To Stay by Sly and the Family Stone.
Brian Jackson and Mark Adams on keyboards. This show was part of the 2012 London Jazz Festival - make sure you look for more great shows at Hideaway this year!

[@supernovaquarius]

larkyleroy 😂😂😂 Right!!!

[@TheBbtlegit]

TERMINATOR-X You are correct.

[@bryanflores4691]

too many layers? idk is good but it sounds like there is too much going on

[@dmljones2550]

Yep it spoils the rendition.

[@achenarmyst2156]

Not coming close to the original...

[@luutsii]

eerh..wtf ! total confusion.they're all stepping on each other's toes all trying to play epic parts.there's no harmony between them.sounds more like different demos played at the same time.and the singing is awful

[@TheBbtlegit]

Chraig Smb It sounds too crowded I thought I was the only one who noticed this. The singer sounds like he is straining to hit those notes.

[@exinferiz]

Too harsh

[@jbuurk]

Unfortunately they are forgetting the most important lesson in funk: less is more. Great start, then f it up by too many keys. Insult to the original.

[@tykiedog]

Lighten up man

[@bobtimlin3378]

+jbuurk Too many keys, or your short attention span?

[@rhythmconstruct9554]

Too many keys, the point of funk is a simple rhythm that grooves.

[@romulus_]

too many keyboard players, vocalist is wack. but hey, i'm happy to see lonnie.

[@kimbanyc1]

LOVE this!
