Maceo Musicology Webcast #30b (Old School Grooves) by Mace2theo on Mixcloud

This funky little webcast got a lost a bit as part of the 30th Webcast series so it has been extended with more 70's grooves and now given it's own release.  

Groove is the sense of propulsive rhythmic "feel" or sense of "swing" created by the interaction of the music played by a band's rhythm section (drums, electric bass or double bass, guitar, and keyboards). Musicologists have argued that a "groove" is an "understanding of rhythmic patterning" or "feel" and "an intuitive sense" of "a cycle in motion" that emerges from "carefully aligned concurrent rhythmic patterns" that sets in motion dancing or foot-tapping on the part of listeners.

...or you could just listen to it.

Maceo Webcast #32 - Earth Wind & Fire

Maceo Musicology Webcast #32 -  Earth Wind & Fire

Maceo Musicology Webcast #32 (The Funk of Earth, Wind & Fire) by Mace2theo on Mixcloud

Earth, Wind & Fire were one of the most musically accomplished, critically acclaimed, and commercially popular funk bands of the '70s. Conceived by drummer, bandleader, songwriter, kalimba player, and occasional vocalist Maurice White, EWF's all-encompassing musical vision used funk as its foundation, but also incorporated jazz, smooth soul, gospel, pop, rock & roll, psychedelia, blues, folk, African music, and, later on, disco. Lead singer Philip Bailey gave EWF an extra dimension with his talent for crooning sentimental ballads in addition to funk workouts; behind him, the band could harmonize like a smooth Motown group, work a simmering groove like the J.B.'s, or improvise like a jazz fusion outfit. Plus, their stage shows were often just as elaborate and dynamic as George Clinton's P-Funk empire. 

More than just versatility for its own sake, EWF's eclecticism was part of a broader concept informed by a cosmic, mystical spirituality and an uplifting positivity the likes of which hadn't been seen since the early days of Sly & the Family Stone. Tying it all together was the accomplished songwriting of Maurice White, whose intricate, unpredictable arrangements and firm grasp of hooks and structure made EWF one of the tightest bands in funk when they wanted to be. Not everything they tried worked, but at their best, Earth, Wind & Fire seemingly took all that came before them and wrapped it up into one dizzying, spectacular package.

As opposed to a greatest hits, the webcast gives you a taste of EWF in the studio, EWF as producers of other artists, and EWF live in concert

Special thanks to CKJ 505 for the cool cover art work...and suggesting this webcast!

Maceo Musicology Webcast #30b (Old School Grooves) by Mace2theo on Mixcloud

In recognition of the 30th Maceo Musicology Webcast, EMF Radio is proud to release this anniversay 2 part series - Nu School and Old School Grooves.  Following the format of the 1st Maceo Musicology Webcast which served as a personal musical introduction to the Entropy members, Webcast #30 provides a musical update (of sorts) for EMF Radio listeners.  Webcast #30a highlights more 'current' jams while Webcast #30b features older grooves from back in the day,

Webcast #30a finds the Nu through independent and label music, artists from 14 to 72, with a little jazz, rock, funk and some acoustic grooves.  Webcast #30b goes back to the late 70s funk era to find the groove in the artists who made an impact during the formative years.

Enjoy

In collaboration with  Entropy MC and 2tha9s, “EMF Radio” presents the Purple Rehearsal Jams webcast.  Maceo and SeeNote are back for a third time to bring you some cool moments of the Purple one in rehearsal.  Included are some gems of songs rehearsed but not played in concert as well as some looser jams with the band hittin' it on the 1 and the guitar turned up.

In all cases (except one), P is on guitar, piano (or both)...maybe even bass on DoW.   Some old jams feature the Revolution and the original NPG and others the latest NPG configuration for the 'Welcome 2 Australia' tour. 

Let's Jam!
