in honor of the Godfather. Some great stuff here.

HB, JB! The Godfather lives on! Good God, y'all!

I recently purchased "In the Jungle Groove" and "Funk Power 1970: A Brand New Thang" after working on Stanton Moore's Groove Alchemy book. With an artist like JB it's difficult to choose which albums to buy. Suggestions for JB essentials?

Just go for it all: Get the "Star Time" box.

Aint that the truth. Listen to JB for about a week and then try to play something really 'straight' like any Neil P beat; makes you really appreciate two completely different feels. One swings, one is straight up & down.
