James Brown Artist Snapshot:

The unrelenting intensity of James Brown's music has made him one of the most recognizable and influential performers since the 1950s. Starting out as a gospel singer, Brown soon switched to R&B and started scoring hits. As the '60s progressed, the self-proclaimed Godfather of Soul transformed the sounds of R&B into a tight, driving style that helped lay the foundations of funk. Personal troubles over the following decades threatened to sideline the ever-impassioned Brown, but he repeatedly bounced back. Countless JB samples--credited and uncredited--found on rap and hip-hop records testify to his enduring influence. The Godfather of Soul passed away on Christmas Day in 2006.

Review

Vibe (12/99, p.158) - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century - "He was already Soul Brother No.1 when he and his band were inventing funk, which makes early-'70s tracks like 'Give It Up or Turn It Loose' so amazing..."
Mojo (Publisher) (9/03, p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The remastered and remixed tracks on JUNGLE GROOVE revealed the infinite variety he and his band discovered in funk work-outs..."

IN THE JUNGLE GROOVE documents one of the most important periods in the development of James Brown's music. In 1970, Brown's bandleader/sax player Maceo Parker departed to form his own band, taking much of Brown's group with him. This event heralded the arrival of the JB's, which included monster bassist Bootsy Collins, whose hyperkinetic style made Brown's funk harder, leaner, and meaner. This album gives listeners a bird's-eye view of the change, featuring the final sessions of the Maceo-led band as well as the first recordings of Bootsy and the JB's.

Maceo and company were at their hardest and funkiest at this point, as seen on "The Funky Drummer," where Clyde Stubblefield lays down the drum break that would launch a thousand hip-hop samples. Stubblefield stuck around long enough to be part of the first JB's, whose tracks here are full of frenetic, barely controlled energy. The sense of joy and revelation in the groove is audible in these orgasmically polyrhythmic sessions. Collins and Stubblefield lay down some of the heaviest grooves in the history of recorded music. As Brown himself observes on the aforementioned Maceo-era "Funky Drummer," "it's a mutha!"

5 out of 5 stars What a ledgend that will be missed James Brown., September 12, 2009
By Oldschool
James Brown was certainly gifted with a talent, he always had a strong back up on the horn section, he was tight in all sections in his instruments. I say that being a musican and listener of James Brown from my oldschool days. Man what a lost to the music world, his spirit lives on in the industry.
