Regular drummer was caught in traveling traffic. Drummer in this video had about a day to learn the songs for the gig, Think Jara Harris mentions this at the onset of the show.@@skipsmith743
WHAT IN THE HELL!!! How did this pop up in my feed? I haven't heard amazing musicians in years, that I didn't already know their names. Now I got to add Slapbak to my list. SO AMAZED!!!
First time hearing this group and I am enjoying their cover version of all the Funk Songs I play as a DJ. I been in the business for over 45 years and they are "DOING THE THANG". Kudos to your fill-in drummer. I would definitely party with you guys on any given night. Keep On Keeping On!
This is a tight ship, guys. And any bass man that is able to play and sing lead always takes da cake for me. The ladies ain't taking no back seat either. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the guys, belting out some solid funk stuff all the way. Solid hands, all!
Wow, saw them something like 15 years ago in Paris, where we were privileged to have Mudbone Cooper (co-founder of Bootsy's Rubber Band & P-Funk Maestro) take the stage for a few songs... So happy to see that the Jara fire is still burning , cos man, Slapbak are smoking!!!! and the drummer man did an amazing job! for someone who didnt know the songs!! THx 4 sharing!!!
Then you should also listen to their origional material.... Their first album back in 1992 displayed collaboration with George Clinton, Bootsy and Larry Blackmon from Cameo ! Since then they did put out 9 more albums...
Wooooow! Happy they are still around! I first saw them in San Diego, back in the 190s, at the Street Scene Festival. A few years later I saw them at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. I grew up in two families with numerous musicians. What impressed most about this group was that, they kept switching instruments. It seems like all of them could play any instrument. I'd never seen that, onstage anyway. I will have to see them again. I hope they have Instagram or Facebook.
Any funk band with a woman on rhythm and a fro like Chaka Khan gets my vote any day. She never even opened her mouth to sing but she was laying those licks either way.
The leader of that awesome most brilliant band I have heard in decades like it are not what ever you your pay is that you charge definitely you guys should add 35 more percent. Who out there like your favorite you guys. Just a suggestion. $$$$$$$ keep getting it tell you all reach the Top of life's mountain. Love you all.
What impresses me most about this GREAT band is how they captured the true feeling of songs that where out before probably most (if not all) of the band members were even born 🙂
Laguna Beach, my home sweet home! I'm from the 1960s and '70's Brotherhood Of Eternal Love days back when Laguna Beach was heaven on earth. Group sounds good.👍
Let's not forget he started out at a very young age with his brothers and sisters as a sel-contained band and later Jara played & is on the cover of the Randy & the Gypsies (yes Randy Jackson)
Never heard of these guys but I know funk from my era and that hard groove. I love these guys! Refreshing, actual talent..natural organically beautiful women who can handle there instruments.
I still play 'True Confessions' and people still ask "Who is that?!" every time...Then they want to borrow or copy it, to which I grin and say "NOPE!" LOL
Basshappy groove! Love it. It's not enough to have a nice voice. Enunciation matters too. The music is to die for bringing a different creative flare. Still love my Lakland plus and then some more.
I totally agree with the drummer not being all over the place. Just all out straight up pure pocket!!!!!! This band is solid you gotta appreciate the groove .the true meaning of the the sum of parts bigger than individualism. Keep the funk alive and be a slave to the rhythm. You mutha fucka’s ROCK!!!!!!
They are tight AF but I got to give it to the sound man who captured them even if the bass player called him out a few times, I wish I was there my old ass would be sore the next morning 😂😂😂
ln a band - Bass players usually know everything as far as sound. A lot of so-called professional sound man be messing up the sound of major recording artist.
I'M OLD SKOOL MUSIC AND I STRONGLY APPROVE OF THIS BAND AND VIDEO.
Best kept secret in the world of funk, Slapbak. They should be headlining festivals.
FINALLY, a drummer that's not all over the place !!! 👍🏆🙏
is that a different drummer? he is not as tight with the bass player like the other one

The bass players tone is killin.
Facts that punchy but crisp and singing while playing I'm a bass player 50 yrs don't impress easily I'm impressed
Don't you know it!!!
and to think that its just an ordinary yamaha TRBX 304 - I wonder what he has on the pedals
The vocals are excellent and the girl in the green sweat pants has an amazing voice. I love this entire band

Funk will never die! Hope to catch y'all live.
I think it's already died that's why they're having to cover . Anything recently come out that's original ?
I guess they can't come up with anything on their own
The music they're covering was great . But they're never going to make it just covering other people's music
Nothing but garbage for the last 20 or 30 years . people don't want to hear this kind of stuff anymore . The music today is garbage . That's life
@@kennydee9346 check out Adi Oasis!
Man that bass tone is incredible…Real bass playing at its finest
What impresses me most about this GREAT band is how they captured the true feeling of songs that where out before probably most (if not all) of the band members were even born 🙂
Laguna Beach, my home sweet home! I'm from the 1960s and '70's Brotherhood Of Eternal Love days back when Laguna Beach was heaven on earth. Group sounds good.👍
Bass Playa 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a great group love y'all keep it funky.
I always love the Funk and I would love to see more people keeping it alive! Real funk! They do it well only some people can do it really well
Jara underappreciated talent since the Fast Food Funkateers album 31 years ago. The real deal!
Let's not forget he started out at a very young age with his brothers and sisters as a sel-contained band and later Jara played & is on the cover of the Randy & the Gypsies (yes Randy Jackson)
❤❤❤❤❤ 🔥 🔥 Excellent Band
Jars and Slapbak is AWESOME,… I’ve been idolizing Jara for 30 years
That's the best I've heard in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very cool!!!!!!!!!1
Never heard of these guys but I know funk from my era and that hard groove. I love these guys! Refreshing, actual talent..natural organically beautiful women who can handle there instruments.
Chck out their 9 albums since 1991 !!!
Wow!!! Fire!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great band!!! Love it!!!
Good vibes....👍🏾💯🔥
A band that tackles and turns a Prince jam out goes to the top echelon of my favorite groups. Love Slapbak!!
I still play 'True Confessions' and people still ask "Who is that?!" every time...Then they want to borrow or copy it, to which I grin and say "NOPE!" LOL
Aightt tight!! It's that old funk-A-laction.
With the exceptions of just one or two chord changes, dude is running that entire medley of funk tunes off one bass line! Awesome!
# Hot Dig it Dee DOG , "HANG On To My GUITAR 🎸 ,Babba"...
Funk yeh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Basshappy groove! Love it. It's not enough to have a nice voice. Enunciation matters too. The music is to die for bringing a different creative flare.
