Funk No.1 - TOKYO GROOVE JYOSHI 

Excellent’

Love it! And great job explaining the click track to non-musicians. Anytime you hear instruments you don't see folks, it's a click track, often just called a "track" or "playing (singing) to track".

Well, I guess she means backing tracks that are pre-recorded and played back togther with a click. The click gives the drummer an accoustic guidance that she plays along with to keep the band and the pre-recorded tracks in sync.

You girls are absolutely amazing, so funky! Love it! 😚👌👱‍♀️

..this is so good..well done😀👌

Thought you were gonna say they are appropriating blacks 😂

@@thatdude3977 Yes, but that wouldn't be the case. This is clearly 'white people juzz-funk', more like Tower Of Power, Weather Report and so on.

@@Arkturbettel blacks made all modern music!!

Funk never left. It just got mangled by rappers for a while

And that's the thing .. Asia has kept up the legacy, while America has moved on to really shitty, regressive music

How many times have I played the intro 😮 well check it out when she the drummer is spotlighted the expression on her face says she's the boss.

Or is this AI?

Apa khabar sihat tk pagi ni saya tak dapat nak buat apa pun kita boleh buat apa pun kita tak tau lagi bila nak buat kerja dulu ya sayang dah sampai ke tempat biasa lah tu nak buat apa pun tak tahu lah 😮😮

Daaamn! I'm viking do hard rn! Not to mention these artists are so eeeaaasssyyy on the eyes🤩

Speaking as a pretty nonstop funk aficionado, its never really stopped being a thing. RU-vid's simply made it easier to find it after it stopped getting radio play. Living in there states since the 90's I've always managed to find healthy funk scenes, especially in the southeast like Georgia

And it's more polished this time round... At least as I see it

My gues is that in the 70s you didn’t find a group of Japanese girls playing funk

@Big bankie Bobby Still right.

@Big bankie Bobby get nine haircuts zoomer

WOW 🤯 she is the goddess ofsax❤

Thought you were one of those butthurt blacks 😂 gate keeping music from other humans 😂

I really love this song

And there smoking hot 🔥

All girl band, got the 80s j-jazz sound?? Damn 🔥

They can and how bout the way they look ?

Indeed they truly can JAM!

understatement

Just when I needed a musical fix..! I find this in the mix..! 🎼🎼🧨💯

YOU KNOW IT! "HIGH FIVE".

Me too.

RIDICULOUS AND ANYONE IN THE YEAR 2022 USE AN INTRODUCED ELECTRONIC GUITAR... MY GOD.. RIDICULOUS

24 May Soul and Spirit cleanse. AGAIN?Elementary school?

F smooth jazz this is stone cold funk

Wow lucky you I have heard so much about Osaka unfortunately I didnt make it pass Tokyo when I visited Japan several years ago.

shawty too fine

ME TOOOOOO

I guess you never listen to Brecker play this is like bubble gum funk

@@victorcerabino5319 A hot chick jamming is always prettier sounding to the eyes

🤣 original commentor has no experience in sax. She was good, not great. Her lung capacity needs to improve, her scratchy points were an extension of just that. That is the only quirk I have with her. She will be great with a bit more practice.

My thoughts exactly..

She was great, flaws and all.

I could listen longer than they could play ! Loop it

I love it

You're jelly, She'$ Jam and I'm infatuated ❕ If she's taken, I need a lock of her hair so that I can clone her ❕🤩🧙🏾‍♂️

That Sax is bigger than she is and she handling her business

Totally agree make you get in the grove

Salute to you Brother! 💯💪🙏✊ It would be good I'm sure, and much more appreciated if they truly love and appreciate where rhe foundation of this Musical sound originated from and the Foundational Black American People that put their Hearts and Souls into creating this Beautiful Music. 💯💪💜🖤🤝B1 #4Life

That 70s funk. What yall know about that? Grrrreat job girls

@@fredicashannon5552, hey, my family was all about the 70’s at The Joy Theater down on Canal St and going to see Maze and Frankie Beverly at the Budweiser Superfest back in the day…

Yes, excellent.

Thought you were gonna cry racism 😂

Yeah buddy! True THAT!

Music is a human experience. So.e ignorant people gate keep music though 😂 like blacks

You can say that again🙂Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 5th April 2024.

Saxophone 🎷 ?

@@TIGERGUTS There's no trumpet visible here but definitely sounds like one on the track.

@@TIGERGUTSthe trumpet is on the orchestra hits from the keyboard

Two different sax tracks and a trumpet.

Trumpet no

Truth. Good thing the Japanese have been doing it since 70's and adding their own flavor.

@@rapid3638 LOL.... What flavor?

If you wanna be technical I appreciate the vibes but it sounds like something from the US. Japan always appreciated U.S culture

@@Rati0nalThinker Of course, it sounds like something from the U.S., since that is where the music originated. Still harder to find the music these days in the U.S. It kind of reminds me of some of the other popular music from the U.S. from back in the 70's and 80's also. Music that got less and less play here but was still making hits in the UK through the 2000's. Impressed me to be honest. The same goes for Jazz artist from the 40's and 50's. The music lived on to a larger audience but on a different continent.

Jazz music is not as popular as it was in the 20s and 30s, but its still relevant.However, I'm from a big city I'm from New York and they have jazz outlets in Brooklyn and Manhattan as well Radio stations that play jazz. Jazz music itself has evolved into different genres of music.@@rapid3638

All four of them ain't no joke🙂Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 5th April 2024.

Yeah. Me too. When your birthday? These girls are insanely powerful.

@@davidhaysbuckley 4/8/60'. Be retiring on THAT day 2022! 👍🤘👍🤩

This is an odd comment

@@corbanzo2666 that's an odd picture on your profile. 🤔

No it's not.

What a challenge you listening to them and admiring there beauty at the same time! It's mesperrising!

Absolutely! My good listening friend!

She has a hair scrunchy on the headstock to keep the buzzing to a minimum. She knows what she's doing! Hountou ni jinsei desu.

no

Black Americans music will never die jazz rock country blues hip hop belongs to us thanks 😂❤

Not to mention they're gorgeous 🥰 But I too just stumbled across this group & WOW👍🏿

@@MrBigR928 I totally agree with you. They're all gorgeous! What a combination! Super talent, and great looks!

Unbelievable gorgeous and talented 👍

Ditto 👍🎶💖 if you haven't looked, go check Juna's playlists. She's done a lot of excellent stuff.

Does flute and horns equal jazz?

You obviously don''t know what funk is.

How?

I have a vinyl record that is shaped like a fan from taste of honey lol. Don’t know the group that well but never seen a vinyl like that lol

Yup! And Patrice Rushen as well when she freestyles and grooves 🎶🎵…

It is stolen from us. What do you think? We need to stop praising these thieves.

AWB

i love it ... this song is in spanish but is amazing too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9IfJltvEQlQ.html

This is a great jam track, love soloing on guitar to it...That sax player got some chops..I'm gonna borrow them!

Was gonna say, the drummer and the sax really killed it.

@@richardsprince6980 lucky saxophone lol

#Saxophone player ? 👀 Most definitely friend. 🤓👍

Agreed. Except id say more like 90's

Yeah, thank God for copying Black people.

true. but it's not the only reason though

a lot of them by me :)

I pretty much play this because of MiMi.

And they deserve it, they sound as great as they look

I cut my teeth on Funk! A forgotten art form in my humble opinion.

Because I am of a 'certain age' I am reminded more of The Crusaders and Average White Band in the 1970s.

@@Nooziterp1 I was also thinking The Crusaders. My dad had me listening to the Crusaders growing up.

no it isn't

RIDICULOUS AND ANYONE IN THE YEAR 2022 USE AN INTRODUCED ELECTRONIC GUITAR... MY GOD.. RIDICULOUS

It’s an excellent band

Oh, I strongly agree with you.

@@chevy4x466 He said he strongly agreed, meaning that he does appreciate the performance.

Ikrrrrrr

How is it authentic? It's stealing!

@@ursamahan-worlds5726 Haven't you heard? Great artists steal.

@@ursamahan-worlds5726 Covers are always permitted as a show of respect.

@@seanonel 這樣也

great artists derive their own renditions

Watch Candy Dulfer 😉

Me too!

Agreed, the baseline is killer and the best part is she is feeling it.

you would love a lot of old time porn flicks

Totally agree, the bass player is in the groove. Love her
