It’s wild how having Toussaint do a horn track can just drop a healthy dose of Nola on almost anyone:

Was waiting for Toussaint to kick in on this album, and … yup, there it is:

Then I got bombarded with carbon-copy Toussaint tracks from half a decade earlier 😂

This track is bending my brain a bit this morning:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUVcZnN86fc

You have the classic start of late RnB / early Funk: "Have you ever heard of: <X>, fake audience: yeaaaaaaah"

Then it drops into sorta a standard afro- for awhile (till ~2min), after which they just abandon the song structure entirely in favor of an extended psych meltdown (complete with dubious mixing!)

It's... kinda great? And kinda jank?

Sorta like someone smashed three different songs together

@arghdos yeah it's truly a weird song. The follow up is much better known and a little more well formed.

Sorry to hear of the death of Betty Davis: Great funk, a real force of nature, and raunchy as hell. She's the Mademoiselle Mabry on Miles Davis's Filles de Kilimanjaro album, and we wouldn't have the title Bitches Brew without her.
