Conceived by label owner Adrian Gibson and made into reality by The Bamboos Lance Ferguson, the Black Feeling project is all about taking it back to the source to the music that has inspired, instigated and accompanied many a musical journey over the years. Following a sell out gig at the Jazz Cafe last year, band leader Lance rounded up a bunch of fellow minded musicians from the Aussie funk scene to collaborate on a covers album. Consisting of members of The Bamboos, Cookin On 3 Burners and many more guest musicians, the tracks are presented under pseudonyms to give the impression of an album you would find whilst digging in a Caribbean record shop or American thrift store.
Kicking things off is the James Brown penned ‘Honky Tonk Popcorn’ made famous by Bill Doggett (and in turn sampled by The Beatnuts) taking the familiar bassline but changing up the drums, the familiar organ line should prick up the ears. Already causing a storm on vinyl is ‘The Blessing Song’, originally a haunting jazz number, here stripped back to the basics and now a jazz-dance dancefloor bomb already road tested at the legendary Messin’ Around club session in London.
