The Paul and Mike clips JAUQO III-X posted really show the pure funk emanating from this man's being. I watch these a LOT for inspiration (and to cop a lick or two!)

Paul Jackson, Jaco, George Porter Jr., Rocco Prestia.
There is some raw edge, to there finger-style, that always hits me deep.
Serious Funk.

Paul Jackson is the man.

One of my all time favorite grooves--Watermelon Man off the headhunters record

that whole CD is all-groove to me...I love it

I was fortunate enough to open up for the headhunters on their tour that happened right after hurricane Katrina. The line-up included Mike Clark and George Porter Jr. Awesome guys and an awesome experience.
