Mit John Jabo Starks ist gestern der verbliebene Funkmaster gestorben 😦
Mit den Insta-Worten von ?uestlove:
>>If the late #ClydeStubblefield was #JamesBrown gourmet dish, then #JohnJaboStarks was his meat & potatoes. The round the way meal. In the folklore of breakbeat ology, it was Clyde that was James’ prettiest rhythmaster. But Starks was his most effective drummer. It was the “Think (About It)” break that birthed New Jack Swing Culture, Bmore/Jersey House & 90s rnb. It was “Hot Pants (I’m Comin)” & “I Know You Got Soul” that really cultivated the classic east coast renaissance of 87-92. James’ most effective funk: “Soul Power” “Escapism” “Superbad” “The Payback” so many classics. His 8 on the floor style was so unique in his funk. A serious funk god. A unchampioned legend gave us new culture and a gift folks. Give the drummer some. John Jabo Starks R.I.P. #Jabo<<

Die andere Todesmeldung des Tages betrifft das INTRO Magazin, welches ab Juli nicht mehr hier und dort frei herumliegen wird – die Produktion wird eingestellt. Thank you for the music!
