Hello chaps..

Does anyone know of any 1960's hammond/early funk bands. The stuff I'm after is a mix of Deep Purple, Floyd, Brian Auger & The Trinity, Winwood type stuff.

Anyone shed any light on this kinda groove?

Cheers
Joe

For a bit of Hammond funk you could do a lot worse than the 'James Taylor Quartet'...although not exactly the 60s :)

In fact it’s my gaming clans theme tune :doh:
Funk is what I likes best; very Tigerish in this respect ;) Its one of the few music genres me and my mates can still get away with playing without looking and sounding as if we should have retired a decade or two ago :ner:

Funkadelic is mighty cool with some of the best album titles as well. Parliament is one of the hottest funk bands of course. Two great funk boxes I have:
