Not too long ago, Mocha(pictured)😉 asked for some early 70's Jazz Funk mainly for his music listening reference and to share his Jazz Funk experience with y'all! As a Jazz Funk enthusiast, Mocha thought that he ain't got enough Jazz Funk! Spoiled cat! 😉

Tribute to legendary Jazz Master award winner Jimmy Smith (Jimmy was cats lover by the way) and his highly regarded West coast crew!

What happened on February 8, 1972 at the Bombay Bicycle Club, Los Angeles, California? It was rumored that invited guests including Donald Byrd on trumpet, Joe Farrell on tenor sax, Fred Wesley on trombone, Herbie Hancock on second keyboard, Billy Cobham on second drum-sets, Al Green lead male vocal, Nina Simone lead female vocal and Hot Buttered Soul Unlimited background vocal in addition to this live session! Shit didn't happen as venue promoters were low on cash plus potential legal challenges amongst records labels...etc, it would have been a f**king awesome session! 😉

Here's the timeline:
00:02 to 00:38 Introduction by Jimmy Smith (Unofficial) never before on vinyls or CDs 
00:00 to 00:46 Bluesy mood enhanced by St. Germain 👍 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRvjSe6yBU&t=1s
00:46 to 11:28 Early jam session prompted by excessive Redbull consumption 😉
11:28 to 17:14 More Redbull consumed plus top quality Blunts 😉
17:14 to 24:52 Oh oh, low on Redbull, extremely low on Redbull and perhaps 30% THC found in those Blunts😱 
24:52 to 36:40 Redbull consumption resumed with Vodka, mucho Vodka added 😉 Root Down!
36:40 to 42:52 Redbull, Vodka consumption continued on with big help from high THC Blunts! 👍 Entire planet were feelin' happier knowing the 10 years senseless Vietnam war nearly ended! 😉 Yeah, let's stay together people! We're all we've got! Humanity rules! Wars suck! ☮️ 😉
42:52 to 52:54 Late jam session triggered by more Redbull Vodka mix happily consumed plus the introduction of Delta-8 Peace out!✌️Lol
52:54 to 64:56 Session ended with alternative version of Root Down! (Previously excluded from vinyls release)

Seriously😉, I was there with few crates full of Jazz Funk records hoping for a 2 hours after party DJ gig but shit didn't happen when studio, records label executives, venue promoters asked me same question "WTF do I know about Jazz Funk?" Besides all, bouncers said I was little too young to be inside the club & you know the rest of the story! To top it off, Mum said Jazz Funk was accountable for my Vodka, Lucky Strike non-filter cigarettes consumption and the use of made in U.S.A Zippo cigarettes lighter at my early age! 😉

Mixing, mastering notes: Raw 24/96 digital audio files continuously mixed using Sony Acid Pro 7 (without beats mapping and EQs involved = Spinning records on turntables without pitch, tempo controls and no DJ mixer)😱 
Final mix mastered with several different mastering specs for different listening environments! This version was specifically mastered for my car reference audio system and I hope it'll work with yours! Happy listening!

I will never allow a song purely AI on my profile - no offense to those who express themselves through that interface. There is something to learning the art of a practice rather than just the practice itself. Its a mindset of creativity that I hope the AI interface leads everyone to learn more about.
I have begun to work with a single engineer who has shown me their production workflow and is transparent in their use of AI. I will be noting that the song has used the producer. The producer I will work with is named "A[REDACTED]I". 
I like this name for their studio which I feel clearly indicates in their name that they use AI for some mastering and final works.
