Here's one for you, @Zing. I remember a discussion we had many moons ago about what makes "funk", funk. The guy front and center here is pummeling a Clav patch, using it more as a percussion instrument than a piano (well, the piano-forte IS in the percussion section of the orchestra, so...) The rhythm is more important than the actual notes, and it's fawnky! Enjoy.
They sure so play of notes.
Funky notes albeit.
Pauly, this one will be up your alley, albeit short. The funk guy sent a very short Bach piece to a pedal steel guitar player, and got this multitrack back. Apparently its going to be on his upcoming solo album.
And I'm completely clueless how the music business works anymore. This solo album is coming out, only on vinyl, and right now it's "crowd-sourced", yet he keeps releasing tracks in digital format over EweTube. I'm not getting it anymore.
This piece was particularly interesting to me as I played a pedal steel from ~85 to ~91. An odd instrument; mine was a beginner's model with only three pedals and one knee lever. You could hit just two strings, and bend one of them just right, and half the country crowd would start weeping; yet you could also hit a few strings, do the wrong thing, and all three notes would go the wrong direction and sound like ass.
After the violent mayhem in Albuquerque, I quit the very popular band I was in and never played country again, sold the guitar to the bass player. Would love to play it one more time.

Here the guys on the "Dead Wax" channel compare and constrast Jaco's "Teen Town" (from Heavy Weather) to Vulfpek's "Dean Town" (not a comparison I would've caught). With guest Adam Neely (a monster musician/teacher). The discussion gets deep in the weeds where only a musician would enjoy, but some really interesting stuff on compressor ducking, and how it's a holdover sound from track bouncing from the early days.
