@brasstracks Yeah that’s always a challenge....check out the Chaka records that Arif Mardin produced. A lot of times, he’d have a bass player slapping/popping, AND a synth bass maybe even playing a different part, no conflict because they just don’t occupy the same sonic space.

@KathieLGifford Such a pleasure having you there!!!!

@TAandSmokSec I think we all need some new fresh and funky Smoking Section arrangements in our lives 👍🎹🎺

@TAandSmokSec not really funk, but I Don't like it by Flo Rida or Sax by Fluer East.

What's your favorite modern funk tune?

[Tim Akers @TAandSmokSec]

One of our favorite acts in Nashville is @basecampmusique. We love how they blend classic elements with a modern approach. #Salute
