Hey Jax, Elastic is one of my favorite jazz CD's of the last 5 years. If you love it also check out a CD called YaYa3. It's the same exact band, this time led by the keyboard player, and they're playing the same kind of funk laced, jazz grooves. That release is a tad more mellow and jazzier than Elastic...but I prefer it more. Both disks are slammin. I'll sample the other two you mentioned...

jaxvon Audioholic Ninja Feb 17, 2004 4,192 0 0 39 University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Mar 1, 2005 #5 Okay...were you good? And why did you ever quit?
Francious70 Senior Audioholic Sep 8, 2004 509 0 0 41 Tennessee Mar 1, 2005 #6 I actually was pretty good. I played in the high school band and made the all-state band (very prestigous). I quit because I didn't feel like playing it anymore, guitar was more interesting. Paul

His brother was one of my law school professors at Columbia and I have seen him live on several occasions. Life on Planet Groove has a few good tracks but it definitely isn't the best Maceo out there. I recommend Mo'Roots and Funk Overload.

He's spot on about Maceo...Mo' Roots is the Maceo CD to have. Funkiest thing put to disk since James Brown. His drummer on that disk is Bill Stewart...more know for straight ahead jazz but that boy can groove as well. No Dennis Chambers mind you...but he can bring it. The last track is my favorite. A ten minute funk opus. I saw both Maceo and Candi several times. They're both regulars at the North Sea Jazz festival in Holland. I've gone 5 times in the past 8 years. It's the best musical festival on the planet IMO. They call it a jazz fest but it's far from JUST that. Here's a few non jazz artist I can recall seeing there off the top of my head: Buddy Guy, Santana, Eric Clapton Steve Winwood, James Brown, B.B. King, Earth Wind and Fire, Bootsy Collins, Ohio Players, Average White Band, Rufus and Chaka Khan, Keb' Mo, King Crimson, and about 300 more I can't think of right now.
