"THE BRECKER BROTHERS - SOME SKUNK FUNK" [BY 'VOLVO440'] . . . . CALEB AT CRO CUSTOMS FEATURED A BRILLIANT POST THE OTHER DAY ABOUT ONE OF THE JAZZ/FUNK/FUSION WORLD'S GREATEST PLAYERS . . . . IT GOT ME WHISTLIN AND HUMMING NON STOP SOME TUNES FROM THE BLACKEST WHITE CATS EVER TO PICK UP INSTRUMENTS . . . . THE UN-FUNKIN-REAL BRECKER BROTHERS . . . . GIVE IT UP !!

These brothers in blood and boogie are at the pinnacle of cool in the world of jazz, funk and r+b, Randy was a member of the first recording lineup of BS+T going back to the sixties and Michael tagged along shortly after. As well as doing their own trip they played with many other shining stars in the genres mentioned above on both album and live arenas . . . . but the grooviest, coolest and sweetest shit they laid down was in the various incarnations of the Brecker Brothers Band, mean, melodic, furious funk imbued jazz, so much soul and feel that it has rarely been exceeded, when I was first introduced to them at Uni back in '80/'81, once more I initially figured they were black dudes . . . . you gotta be real here folks, not that many honky's can blow spots like this stuff, history doesn't lie.

Sadly, one of the Dynamic Duo has shuffled off this mortal coil in the last decade or so, but one of them is still out there layin it down for all the world to enjoy, the track I've put up here is from around the time I got into them and it's them at their in the pocket best . . . . it wasn't easy being a punk who was also into this sorta kit as well as Michael Jackson, pre 'Thriller', jazz, classics and everything else that's worth a squirt of billy goat's piss . . . . fortunately, nothing's changed . . . . musical fruit salad, that's WhitelinePsycho, life's too fucking short to set limits on yourself . . . . break it on down with The Brecker Brothers . . . . white hot funk !!!
