Well, if swank is our need, then we've
got to funkifize, so;
Tower of Power - Live. Any track will do.
Also, without some Parliament, P-Funk especially, our hip is flat, pops.
Then, let's see.
Miles and his
Birth of the Cool. If those sweet, velvety rich reverberations of auditory deliciousness don't satiate your appetite for swank, then unclog your tone holes my man.
The man himself, my sensei of swank and the supreme savior of cool, my own personal hero John Coltrane. For those listeners only beginning their journey, any track from
Giant Steps will slide. But for us true connoisseurs, I'd say
Love Supreme. Difficult to take, but the way to enlightenment, even in swank, always is.
And we can't forget the funkiest cat blowin' horn and burnin' vocals today; the one and only Maceo Parker. His live album, it's the rocks baby. Shake Everything You Got. Listen to it, then do it.
We'll have this joint burnin' in no time.
