In 1970 James Brown perfectly captured a definitive moment in modern music when he called Bootsy Collins into the studio to record the tracks that would be These Are The J.B.â™s, a title given to a King Records test-press LP that was never released, and only rumored to exist.
This album is the epitome of funk music, Brownâ™s innovation that influenced everything that came after it, from Afro-beat to disco to hip-hop. And if there is any funk ensemble as influential as Brownâ™s in the post-“Cold Sweat” musical landscape, itâ™s the Bootsy Collins/Parliament/Funkadelic contingent. Those two streams, as Grammy-winning James Brown historian Alan Leeds details in this albumâ™s liner notes, converged for the first time here, making this a Rosetta Stone of funkâ™s dominant idioms.
This link between Brownâ™s funk and all that followed features Bootsy and his young band running through twelve-minute instrumental take of Marva Whitneyâ™s “Itâ™s My Thing,” replete with blues chord changes, alongside interpretations of the Meters, Kool and the Gang and none other than Jimi Hendrix.
