RIBS TPTD: Bonus Hours - Graham Central Station
Filed under: Funk, RIBS, Triple Play Thurs-Day, music, podcasts/mixes, soul
OK, quiz time again. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the name “Larry Graham”?
Well… (and here comes another one of those ‘old school’/'new school’ comparisons {smile}) if you are under 50 what you probably think of is the monster R&B ballad, “One In A Million You” that he released in 1980 as a solo artist. If you are over 50 you probably best remember him as the bass player for one of the all-time great soul/funk bands Sly and the Family Stone.
However, right after the breakup of S&FS Larry had another funk band that sometimes gets lost and/or forgotten about in the discussion of really good 70’s funk music. As much of a fan I am of his years with Sly (I mean does it really get much better than Dance To The Music, I Want To Take You Higher, or Sex Machine?) I was really deep, deep into what people often refer to as Larry’s “other” band. Well, that “other” band produced some mighty intense funk and could also break off a nice, mellow ballad too as well as some finger-poppin’ Do-Wop every now and then.
With Valentine’s Day and the many, many Cupid’s Hunt love podcasts just around the corner I felt we all needed something fast and something funky to take us into this weekend. AAMOF, I have to admit… this one is HOT!
This week I present to you Larry Graham’s “other” band…

RIBS JSOB: Miles, Wes and B.B.
Welcome to the debut mix of the latest feature here at Rhythms In Black Satin. We’re calling this one RIBS JSOB… Jazz with a Side Order of Blues. Every other week on Tuesdays RIBS JSOB will explore a combination of some of our favorite Jazz and Blues artists.
The format will be similar to our regular, weekly Triple Play Thurs-Day mix (which of course we will continue to bring you each and every Thursday) as we select three artists from the world of Jazz and Blues and cook up a smooth mix of sound for your listening pleasure. Sometimes we’ll do 2 Jazz and 1 Blues artist, at other times we may change it around and do 1 Jazz and 2 Blues artists. Who knows as things develop the format may change into something completely different. But you can bet it will always be enjoyable in a “grown & sexy” kind of way! {smile}
So… as we set up our first Jazz w/Side Order of Blues buffet table we break out three giants of any of music (regardless of genre), the master of the Jazz trumpet, the master of the Jazz guitar and his royal majesty, the king of the Blues. This week we present to you the initial JSOB mix with:
