Présentation

[color=#FFFFFF]Dusty Groove[/color] a écrit :
"Sweet jazzy funk – from the cornbelt of Omaha! The LA Carnival are one of those rarer-than-rare funk groups who not only never got their due back in the day – but also recorded a heck of a lot of great material that never even got issued! They have a totally great sound that bubbles in jazzy licks on trumpet, sax, and organ – next to tighter, funkier vamping on the rhythms – all of which makes for a killer approach to the groove that's surprisingly fresh, given the passage of three decades since the group's heyday. And leave it to the folks at Stones Throw – who know how to dig beyond the crates, into the earth, and come up with a lost slice of funk history that has made the world a much better musical place. They've lovingly remastered these great recordings from the early 70s, and have packaged the whole thing with a well-done set of notes that really goes into detail about this unique group, their amazing sound, and their obscure Nebraska origins! An instant funk essential – and one you'll be thanking yourself for buying for years to come."

FACE A

L.A. Carnival - "Flyin'" (A1 / N°1)

Du FUNK groovesque, les parties chantées renforcent le plaisir, surtout quand le tempo chaloupé prend les sens, BONHEUR.

L.A. Carnival - "We Need Peace And Love" (A2 / N°2)

Titre posté par Superfly Records et craquage pour ce band que je n'avais plus réécouté depuis quelques années...

FACE B

L.A. Carnival - "(We'd Like To) Pose A Question" (B1 / N°3)

Groove, groove, groove et le cri poussé à 2mn55

L.A. Carnival - "7 Steps..." (B2 / N°4)

Sur le refrain on pense à des groupes comme Tower Of Power, rythmique cuivrée saccadée, les vocaux, le lead...

L.A. Carnival - "Blind Man" (B4 / N°6)

L.A. Carnival - Blind Man (Stones Throw STH 2053 / Now-Again NA2003, 2003)

FACE C

L.A. Carnival - "Color" (C2 / N°7)
