Members whoneedstherapy Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 My vote is for Bootsy. Some of his earlier work with James Brown is amazing. He might be good, but does he shower? if not, definitely funky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seraphim7s Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 Paul Jackson of Herbie Hancock's Headhunters band. He was pretty fantastic. Even if I do prefer the 'Mwandishi' band that preceded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bgranger Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 I must agree with Larry Graham but my second is Nathan Watts with Stevie Wonder ( Do I Do --WOW!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireball_73 Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm going to have to vote for Wooten. Any man who can make live jazz/bluegrass funky gets my vote Don't get me wrong though, Rocco and Bootsy deserve it just as much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dwalmz Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ain't nobody got more funk than the original..............Larry Graham!! I dig Boosty as well but quite honestly, there are a lot of true funk players out there! Espescially in the 70's! Victa can get pretty d@mn funky when he wants to! David Dyson and Me'shelle N'degeocello both get real down home funky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members James Hart Posted April 13, 2007 Members Share Posted April 13, 2007 Good call! so much funkiness over the last couple decades it's tough to put one on top IMHO.... I will say that the big man on bass has more than enough funkiness to share with a few of us http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNotGwtEUqQ Juan Nelson cannot be denied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
