Daily Find – Journey Into Nigritia by Nate Morgan – Jazz Funk Lp
Daily Discovery - Journey Into Nigritia by Nate Morgan - Jazz Funk Lp on Nimbus Recording Company #3257
I'm loving this Jazz Funk Lp out of Santa Barbara, California. Which is about an hour and a half to two hours northwest of Los Angeles. I almost don't even care that this record has a major warp because 5 out of 6 songs still play! This is the kind of jazz that I can really get into. Moments of flow but no long term flow, just a mash up of creative moments in time. It gets me in the mood to create! It takes the sometimes linear thoughts that I have and throws them for a loop, allowing for some real creativity to come up for me. Like writing poetry or putting random thoughts down on paper to later create a work that has yet to be formulated. If I'm feeling really bold, it makes me want to make art! What does this inspire you to create? Please share!

Another gem that Guru and crew from Gang Starr sampled on their song 2 Deep from the Daily Operation album. I've been on a funky jazz kick lately and this is right up my alley. The drums kick hard on so many of the songs so I had to look who played them and I come to find out there's two drummers, Grady Tate or Richard Smith. I am familiar with Grady's sound but not Richard's who does a fantastic job on the session as well. Funky album from start to finish.
