Sharp Funk To Warm Up A Hard Winter

The Brothers Johnson are Los Angeles natives who cut their teeth in the early 1970s as a back-up band, but soon graduated to becoming session players for the one and only Quincy Jones. Jones decided to give them a shot as their own group, and they entered the funk scene in 1976. As producer, Jones gave the Brothers Johnson the immaculate production style he was always known for. As a result, the elegant, classy funk sounds that the Brothers Johnson embodied spawned a sub-genre that American black radio referred to as sophisi-funk. In terms or musicianship and performance, this is indeed sharper in style than even Earth, Wind & Fire. Amazing stuff, and truly representative of late 1970s funk.
