what do you guys think i should come up with for a cool night other than house music, just been offered work on a friday where i do saturday, but they want some different stuff? im thinking some sort of soul, rare groove, northern soul stuff may be chill out electronica???

what would you guys like to listen to in a bar?

btw not playing r&b, garage, d&b, hardcore

Great selection there Saxman.. If I may add one which used to ROCK my Rare Groove sets back in the day.. (skip to 2mins 20secs to get to the tune)

Stanley Turrentine was able to jazz it up with the rest of them but he also loved funk, soul, gospel etc.
Here we get about 50 seconds of an ok beat and very 70s funky rhythm and we start thinking "hmmmm, something better happen soon". Then Stanley steps in.

yeah sax this sort of stuff would be great in the early start and maybe right at the end, may pay a trip to some 2nd hand vinyl shops

I just put your selection on Saxman and my little fella started dancing round the living room! He's now 20 months old and loves music, but these tracks really got him moving.

There you go Paul, first satisfied customer, although he's a bit young to hit the bar scene yet...I hope!

Glad to hear it Shane. Here are some happy tracks from a great jazz musician Donald Byrd (trumpet). Like Stanley Turrentine, Donald loved to funk it out too;

Great stuff...why not create a thread like the Recommended Listening series I started ages ago to house all of these? Or rename the thread? Modz1 where are you?
