Hard to believe this was recorded recently. It's an amazing recreation of 70's psychedelic soul / funk. - Adrian from Bookmarklet
It would be helpful if you followed that advice <headache> It's all reverb in here. - Anika
Sweet sweet reverb. Ok, I'm leaving anyway. MORE LATER. :P - Adrian

The song is actually called Smiling, not Smile, but this is the fattest sounding version of the tune in YouTubeLand. Enjoy, but skank responsibly. Or not. :D - Adrian from Bookmarklet

Truly sad day today. One of the last founding members of the Skatalites (dating back to the late 1950's) has died today at the age of 80. They have truly changed the landscape of music as we know it in many ways, both directly and indirrectly. Rest in Peace. :( - Adrian from Bookmarklet
There were originally ten members in the band. The only one left now is saxophonist Lester Sterling. - Adrian
I wish I knew more about who this is. He probably deserves at least some of the attention that the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch is getting today. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
He was the bass player for the Skatalites, who originated ska in the late 50's/early 60's and basically put Jamaican music and reggae on the world map, as they gained a sizable following in England and elsewhere with the mod / rudeboy / skinhead movement. - Adrian
They were also the house band for the Studio One record label throughout the 60's and early to mid 70's, and thus spearheaded many of the musical changes and innovations that ran from ska to rocksteady, to DJ toasting, to early reggae and dub. - Adrian

War is probably my favorite funk/rock/latin fusion band. So many groovy, shining diamonds in their stash. - Adrian from Bookmarklet

Check out this one from the "Manchild" album. - Adrian from Bookmarklet

Oh and this one. Recognize it, by chance? :) - Adrian from Bookmarklet
I don't think so, but I like this fusion-style jazz. Very nice. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
If you can find it, the whole album is great. Oh and among the illustrious band: Wayne Shorter, Stevie Wonder and Wah Wah Watson! - Adrian
I just finished listening to the whole thing. That was terrific. Thanks for sharing :) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Broasted for sure! I remember the diner at Fairfax and Wilshire had broasted chicken until they closed down. That is still my favorite diner. It's still there, but it's only used for shooting movies in. I miss the 2 piece $1.99 special. :( - Adrian from Bookmarklet

Well shit, I've never heard this before... here goes! Miles live in Osaka Japan. 1976. This was his last recorded album until his comeback in 1981. - Adrian from Bookmarklet
Right off the bat: it's funk. Pretty straightforward so far rhythmically and structurally. We'll see how long that holds up. :) - Adrian
11 minutes into it and it sounds a bit more like what he was doing on Bitches Brew, but much much denser. There's a crazy metal-inflected guitar solo that just started. It's all quite palatable. - Adrian
