PAUL JACKSON & MIKE CLARK

THE FUNK STOPS HERE.!
HELL´S KITCHEN.!

[@jonpiers2325]

somehow, in all his glory, i feel like Mike Clark is still such an underrated drummer! so many funk and jazz concepts he’s mastered and effortlessly demonstrates here, should be lots more citing him, one of my favorite players

[@robinreynolds6570]

So agree

[@kevinkesterson1806]

That level of devastating filth is probably illegal. Unrivaled nastiness. The master class.

[@emmanuelmassarotti5535]

R.i.p. master Paul Jackson who made me love électric funk bass

[@blueridgedsia]

Paul Jackson is made of liquid. And Mike Clark well he's a damn ninja

[@holygroove2]

Lol, yes. And the ninja thing is true. He rolled up on me on one of the comment sections in KZbin, and I was like, "wait a minute...I didn't know who I was talking to" lol. Never met him in person, but that online interaction was funny. He's a kind ninja, lol.

[@blueridgedsia]

@@holygroove2 Thats awesome, always a pleasure to meet legends.

[@joedrums8578]

Alright. This is the best comment I've read in a while. I'm laughing while I nod in agreement. That's a great way to think about their sound hahaha.

[@MegaOmps]

mike clark's snare displacements live rent free in my brain

[@iaial0]

I wish they lived in mine too so I could study them easily

[@jbharms1]

Rip Paul Jackson, arguably the funkiest bassist of all time, and thank you for your substantial contributions.

[@KoreaMojo]

I'd say unarguably!

[@Jordynateurdebord]

Funkiest rhythm section ever!

[@jbharms1]

This is the irrefutable truth

[@FelixStatik]

Totally...it never gets old...but have you heard max sansalone?...he’s got time like Mike

[@afj617]

As a drummer, mike bonham and zigaboo Gadd are probably the guys that have leaked into my playing the most. Paul is one of my five favorite bassist in no order with Jamerson Bootsy Victor(not his slapping) and maybe entwhistle i’m forgetting someone though

[@gustavosanders1948]

Agree but you must consider also the duo Tony Thompson & Bernard Edwards

[@t7052ts]

amazing groove despite of only bass and drums! I’m Japanese and I have big affinity to Paul Jackson as he was living in Japan with his Japanese wife.

[@mckayman24]

They're like the coolest dads!

No.

Nope

[@breakfastplan4518]

Hot damn. Before the internet. before Cell phones. Before rap. Before white people crossed over into RNB and Soul music. Back when the American Music Awards had a category called "Best New Black Artist"...... This was Herbie's Headhunters rhythm section.

[@josephgiarraffa6379]

This is what we are missing in today’s drummers Aint nothing better than old school

[@noahvale]

Check out Nate Smith. The funk is still alive.

We are still here

[@billreinhold1955]

For rock, if John Bonham was still here. Jimmy Chamberlin does some nice work with Catalano. Subtler funk, but it's there.

Noice, I play bass and I like Paul Jackson. He’s an awesome and amazing bass player. Other than that, cool:).

[@skateforzero357]

This is the most important video on youtube for a drummer and/or bass player

[@alanpecherer5705]

45 years ago in 1976 I was lucky enough to get to play (guitar) with Mike and Paul for a few weeks. Although they had just gotten off the road w/Herbie, they were in essence just neighborhood Oakland guys. Paul actually didn't own a bass at the time, I had to lend him mine, and Mike's kit did not have any two drums that matched. This was exactly how they played and they could play it all damn day.

[@gustavosanders1948]

Uauu very lucky that you could play with them. Them both are geniuses. Thks for sharing these experiences!

[@alanpecherer5705]

@@gustavosanders1948 My pleasure. I had a great time with them. But you know what killed me? Here I was, with my world heroes. And Paul didn't even own a bass, nor a car. When I picked him up, he was living in a complete dump.

[@gustavosanders1948]

@@alanpecherer5705 wooh.... That's really shocking Alan but not unexpected as I see many musicians have ups & downs. I rode he divorced once & also that lost his son. Don't know if you met him right after those circumstances. In any case for me it's very sad I will no longer have the opportunity o meet one of my bass heroes.

How to spot a great bassist, he can follow a drummer who insists on doing his own thing.

[@kengagnon6192]

Straight way down home funk

[@Masdylon]

Wow, I can't believe not only have I never seen this video, but also that it has less than a thousand "likes." Rest in Power Paul Jackson! This man played funk the way it should be. No slapping, no nonsense. Just laying down the dang groove!

[@rocknrollmcdonals]

Slapping is also a very important part of funk bass playing. Ever heard of Louis Johnson?

[@Masdylon]

@@rocknrollmcdonals I have. I do like some of the old school slappers, but in general it's not usually my cup of tea. Just expressing my opinion though. Yours may differ.
