 <\/p>\n

Greetings all. <\/strong>
\nI hope everyone has had themselves a nice Funky16Corners Radio kind of week, filled with the dulcet, flute-y tones of this weeks mix.<\/p>\n

I was going to double down on the flute-stravaganza<\/em> and post a funky flute 45, but I couldn\u2019t find the label pic, so it\u2019ll have to keep.<\/p>\n

Instead, may I request that you all get your hot pants on and your get-down shoes zipped up, because the track I\u2019m going to whip on you today requires both.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t suspect that those among you not enrolled in the crate digging or jazz collecting fraternities know the name Ivan \u2018Boogaloo Joe\u2019 Jones<\/strong> (how could you forget a name like that if you had?) but once you pull down the ones and zeroes on this one you shant soon forget it.<\/p>\n

One might assume that he attached the \u2018Boogaloo\u2019 to his extremely common name merely to separate himself from the drummers Papa Jo<\/strong> and Philly Joe<\/strong> (both prominent Joneses) and that\u2019s probably true to an extent, but if anyone ever deserved to be referred to as \u2018Boogaloo\u2019-anything, Ivan Joseph Jones was the man.<\/p>\n

\u2018Right On\u2019, one of my favorite Prestige jazz funk 45s (and they are legion) is as close to an all-star session as you\u2019ll find with these things, plus you get that bad-ass, iconic Prestige blue-label 45 to stare at.<\/p>\n

It\u2019d be all groovy gravy if it was just Boogaloo Joe burning it up on the gee-tar, but you also get Charlie Earland<\/strong> on the Hammond, Pretty Purdie <\/strong>socking the shit out of his drums, Rusty Bryant <\/strong>on the sax and Jimmy Lewis<\/strong> on the bass.<\/p>\n

And you REALLY<\/strong> have to dig the guitar. Boogaloo Joe winds his way in and out of the rhythm like a Ferrari on a race course.<\/p>\n

All star-power aside, \u2018Right On\u2019 is an ass-whooper of the first order, with the head nod, and the hip slip, and all the rest of the involuntary anatomical expressions that go along with records that are this funky.<\/p>\n

Funky, right, tight and outta sight, with enough chops for the jazzers and enough groove for the dancers, \u2018Right On\u2019 is a frequent flier in my DJ box, and though it\u2019s a little on the crackly side (I tried to diminish the sound of sizzling bacon fat\u00a0 as much as I could), this record is so hot you forget about it pretty quickly, unless you\u2019re some kind of Hi-Fi hobbit nestled in the shire alongside a million dollars worth of audio equipment, in which case this isn\u2019t for you anyway, so go have an herbal tea and come back when you\u2019re feeling funky.<\/p>\n

I know you\u2019ll dig it, so do so, and I\u2019ll see you all next week.<\/p>\n

Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry<\/strong><\/p>\n
