One tune from a live show I put on at The Station in Carrboro, NC during the Summer of 2016 honoring the music of Brother Yusuf Salim and Bus Brown. Honored to have this track selected by Tobias at Tramp Records for inclusion in this very interesting and funky collection of various artists. The track is “Freedom” written by Bus Brown and sung here by Steve Wing (with a slight update to the lyrics near the end!). The lineup is not listed in the liner notes so here ’tis:
Steve Wing – piano, vocals
Jim Ketch – trumpet
Tim Smith – tenor sax
Keenan McKenzie – baritone sax
Robbie Link – bass
John Hanks – drums
From the Tramp Records website: Tramp Records is one of Germany’s tiniest but funkiest record labels. We release new bands, but also re-issue quality (not necessarily rare) funk, soul, jazz, folk and afro beat too.
