ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO Theme De Yoyo

Love this opening track, a fine fusion of Funk and Avant-garde Jazz, featuring the two saxes of Joseph Jarman and Roscoe Mitchell combined with Lester Bowie’s trumpet, Don Moye on Drums with Malachi Favors on Bass. The only female in the band is the legendary Fontella Bass {Rescue Me} on Vocals & Piano. Check how the drummer and bassist lay the Funk foundation from the very opening as the Horns build and lift the tune to the Sky! Jazz with total Freedom!. Recorded in Boulogne July 22, 1970. Lyrics : Your head is like a yoyo, your neck is like the string, Your body’s like a camembert oozing from its skin. Your fanny’s like two sperm whales floating down the Seine Your voice is like a long fart that’s music to your brain.
