Hey Adam, yes.

You like funk chops or pork chops?

I like funky poke chops.

Funky poke chops.

Is that keto approved?

Yeah, there are no carbs in funk.

All right, let's do it.

That's how we bill it. Is that a little cocky? It's a little bit and I noticed that, it's still there. It's not going anywhere. Really? Do I have to get permanently used to that? Not for a minute, not for a minute, yeah. I can tune out for that. It might evolve. It's going to evolve. Good, good. Awesome. So what are we talking about today? Today we're talking about seven tracks to help your funk chops. Now, I think we just did a funk episode. We did. Like, not too long ago. We did, and that was kind of spurring our thoughts to maybe pick out some other tracks, and there's only a little bit of overlap, I believe, just unavoidable. Well, of course,

it's always avoidable. But basically, these are things, these are tracks that we think will specifically help your chops on keyboards, really any instruments. I mean, this is highlighted sort

of for some of the keyboard things happening, but like all great funk tracks, there's going to be a little something for everybody.

And it's really about getting the vibe, right?

Yeah, funk is all about the vibe. It's all about the vibe. So if you're a keyboardist, if you're a bass player, if you're a drummer, if you're a trumpet player, you want to listen for specific things, but you really want to listen to everything that's happening. I'm always amazed when people say, what's a good, what's a good record to listen to how to comp as a pianist? And I'll tell them, like, Sunny Rollins Live is a village vanguard where there's no piano.

Yeah, yeah, perfect.

That's a great thing.

A lot of times what we're listening for is what is not happening with us, what we could fit into.

And then, or just listening to what everybody else is doing except for your instrument, because that's what you're going to have to fit in.
