Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope the new week finds you well.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had Wilbert Longmire\u2019s<\/strong> name bouncing around in my head (along with his guitar stylings) since I picked up a Pacific Jazz loss-leader comp years ago.<\/p>\n

Always a big fan of jazzers working the funky side of the street, the late 60s jazz scene was practically overflowing with goodies.<\/p>\n

Even a hardass like Buddy Rich<\/strong> felt the need to accessorize (along with some flares and a paisley ascot) and keep his book fresh with tunes like \u2018Chameleon\u2019.<\/p>\n

I had included a Longmire track (his take on \u2018Scarborough Fair\u2019) on an older mix, so when I put my hands on his 1969 LP \u2018Revolution\u2019, I handed over some folding money and took it home.<\/p>\n

Good thing, too, since that LP included the very groovy track you see before you, a cover of James Brown\u2019s<\/strong> \u2018Give It Up Or Turnit A Loose\u2019.<\/p>\n

The session, which featured heavies like Cal Green, Leon Spencer, Jr<\/strong> and Paul Humphrey<\/strong> (as well as a couple of omnipresent Crusaders<\/strong>) is tasty indeed, seasoning some straight ahead funk with jazzy horns.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a moment (at around 1:23) where a wave of trombones comes in and kind of fills your ears to overflowing ( I highly recommend the use of a headphones).<\/p>\n

Longmire is in top form, and Larry Gales<\/strong> bass is next level.<\/p>\n

The rest of the album is more jazz than funk, but if you can get it for less than twenty bucks, it\u2019s worth it for this cut alone (at least I think so\u2026<\/em>).<\/p>\n

So, dig it, and I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
