A bit more self indulgence here. This is basically a late 60's Dead Head summer of love refugeee meets post-disco hip hop jazz r&B soul dance funk. The genre was probably at its best between 1978 and 1984. It combined a lot of lot influences.; including contemporary or near contemporary 70s forms like disco, urban country, heavy metal, punk /new wave, early hip hop, and technopop; while retaining roots in traditional jazz, urban blues and soul. The music was both sensual and spiritual, decadent and creative, indulgent and restrained; it had a message without out having a message, it was materialistic, but not crass. The message was to get dressed up, look hot, gather at a club, eat some soul food, get down and get funky, and be jammin'/dhyambin.
