Femi Kuti & The Positive Force | Femi Kuti & The Positive Force

The son of the great Fela Kuti
has been hammering out the
funkiest Afro-beat for over a
decade and shows no sign of
slowing. Previewing his excellent
Day By Day, his new work has
more of a jazz slant, with nice
soloing from Femi on sax, and a
very able lead guitar. That’s not
to say that it wasn’t a dance-fest

turned into a swinging party.
With his big bold band featuring
a bank of brass, heavyweight
percussion and funky-as-hell
bassman, plus three gorgeous
girl singer-dancers, it was the
funkiest show of the year.

Quatro, Scott & Powell

The trio of bassist Suzi, Sweet guitarist Andy and Slade drummer Don may look like a glam dream ticket on paper, but this rough’n’ready summit is more grit than glitter. Despite all three being permanent fixtures at the Top Of The Pops studios in the early 70s, these songs’ natural habitat would be a no frills basement bar.

Here’s One I Made Earlier

Andrea Parker might have spent
the 21st Century unleashing
increasingly fearsome electro
mutations from a global network
of sonic psychos on her Touchin’
Bass imprint, but the lady has also
notched up a formidable body of
work both under her own name
and with Belgium-based electronic
maverick David Morley (as Two
