On Monday, January 11th Ill Street Grooves hosted a special 2 hour broadcast paying tribute to the Original Funky Drummer, Clyde Stubblefield. He (along with former, fellow James Brown band members John 'Jab'O' Starks and Fred Wesley) called in to talk with us about their careers (past and present), experiences working with James Brown, and their legacy in Hip-Hop music. We were also joined by local-area percussionists Lon Laine, Ms. Twink, D. Madness, and Biscuit for a couple live jam sessions with help from MC's Flex Mathews and Fleetwood Mac. Plus, DJ RBI held down 1's and 2's for a tribute mix featuring JB classics and Clyde Stubblefield breaks, along with Hip-Hop gems that sampled them. A special shout out goes to Rusty Hassan from the Night Jazz show for the extra hour of air time for this broadcast.Check it out here.
On behalf of true, music-lovers worldwide....THANK YOU.
