Andy Boy’s Contribution To The World

Saturday Matinee – Miles, George, Michael, Frank & Janis
[Updated post: I deleted my unnecessary political rant. I decided that it doesn’t belong on this blog, and, aside from letting me vent, all it does is tick people off. Lo siento mucho. –Bunk]
Here’s a dose of awesome:
Miles Davis was always awesome, especially in his later funk years. Didja catch the background jam? It obviously came from here:
George Clinton’s Parliament cranked it, although Clinton’s Funkadelic “Maggot Brain” was my favorite. Here’s an alternate version:
Poor video, but nice audio by Michael Hampton. Let’s segue…
Zappa’s “Black Napkins” is a classic, and it’s probably derived, or at least related in an odd sort of way, from this:
