Vinyl Wednesday: George Clinton - R&B Skeletons In The Closet

So the first time we played the music from Royalty For Real wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!Here you'll see me play Au Privave, Classy Cats and Royalty For Real, together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).Au Privave is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it! - For many, P-Funk (short for Parliament Funkadelic, the two bands of George Clinton, used as a term for Parliament - Funkadelic - related music) is obscure.One of the most obscure albums is this one. R&B Skeletons In The Closet. It took me a while to tolerate it because some of the sounds and vocals are just really really annoying. Certainly very creative. I never could get used to this song, it makes me really nervous! Thanks George..Aftr a while I got into this one, very funky:Read all about the musicians on Discogs. Also on this album: Michael Clip Payne and Fred Wesley..
