Black American Dance Music From The Disco Era\") was never heard. Recorded in 1976 with the finest Detroit session musicians, it pays lip service to the then-current success of disco, but doesn't pander. Instead what you get is a heavily funky, orchestrated version of his usual style, with some fine grooves and some beautiful mellow moments. The Texas-born guitarist cut his teeth in the organ-based groups of Jack McDuff, Lou Donaldson and Charles Earland before striking out on his own with a series of albums for Prestige, Eastbound and Westbound that are adored by fans of good funky jazz. This is a valuable addition to the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49208875483378,"sku":"IMT6708682.2","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3738515.jpg?v=1778877593","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/sparks-melvin-i-m-funky-now-music-cd-029667086820","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
