| -----Original Message----- | From: Jonny McIntosh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: 18 March 2002 14:55 | | You probably already know this, but the JBs were James | Brown's backing band | (hence the name) and so that sound evolved through the | sixties and early | seventies...
And then throughout the mid 70s and late 70s, as the majority of musicians from the JBs (Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Bootsy Collins) fell under George Clinton's direction and become Parliament/Funkadelic. When Bernie Worrell was thrown in with them, P-Funk was created. Eventually P-Funk got into that elevator with Kraftwerk, and begat techno... so the development from James Brown through to Detroit techno was carried out, in no small part, by those musicians. I'd also back up the recommendation of Maceo Parker's album, "Us", even if only for the stunning track "Soul of a Black Man". But all in all I generally prefer the George Clinton years to the James Brown years...
