and no I'm not talking about those noodling boring ones. I'm talking quality prestige. Having a 4/4 beat does not make an album good. So please think about that before you list up every Melvin Sparks snoozefest he made for the label.I was thinking about this lately and all that came to mind was the Neal Creque and the Young ones albums.Son me on whats quality here.

FUNKY
 
Idris Muhammad "peace and rhthym" (pretty sure thats what its called) Anyways, might be my favorite prestige title. What Creque title do you speak of btw?
 
Neal Creque is not quality

looking for funky on Prestige is like looking for pizza in Texas

or a cheesesteak in LA

You need Yusef Lateef Eastern Sounds. Sit there and listen to that shit and turn off the computer and mellow. Then you can grab Eric Dolphy/Mal Waldron The Quest. Put that shit on and put a finger up your butt and you will find yourself. Then as you come back into consciousness put on George Braith Musart and you will feel like a new liberated man.

Serious.

the one I'm speaking on is simply called "Creque"

Not outright funky, but realyl nice electric keys and sparse soulful playing on most tracks. Pretty solid LP
 
cosign on Lateef

I'm a fan of Eddie Jefferson, he's not for everybody though...

Cheesesteak in Vegas is a whole different story. North LV got that 24 hour cheesesteak spot thats pure grub.

as for Yusef Lateef. Got that joint on CD. Eric Dolphy joints are on CD too.

As for Neal Creque we just gotta agree to disagree on that.

I heard they are hiring reviewers at Dustygroove...
 
Whhoooops I missed the 'funky' part, I was about to start talking Mose Allison's first record and shit...
 
can we get a moratorium on looking for 'funky post punk' or 'funky prestige' or 'folk funk' or 'funky minimal techno' or anything else that is really just a blatantly reductivist way of looking at what may be an interesting form of music ON ITS OWN TERMS??? shit is fucking embarrassing.

Italo modern soul: can I get some recommendations?

Big 10-4 on that.

Man, where to start? So many super-heavy facemelting heaters on Prestige. How about Charles McPhearson Horizons, Eric Kloss Consiousness, Pat Martino East! -- I'm pretty bad at thinking of records when I'm not in front of them. Sorry, Ad*m.

I'll hit you with more.

word it's pretty decent, kind of a one-tracker though. I guess you can say it's SPIRITUAL JAZZ FANKY-NESS
