I am sort of making a "Funky Friday" pick with this Stanley Clarke composition that comes from their '76 album: Romantic Warrior. The song has a funk base to it with layered lines over the top. At times it will have a Funk/Jazz Fusion meets Renaissance fair sound/feel; at other times the song will feature all four members soloing at once playing MNPM (Maximum Notes Per Measure), but still listenable and exquisite all the same.

Here is the studio version on YouTube.
Here is an excellent live performance circa '76 on YouTube.


My song pick a year ago today: The Gipsy Kings - Hotel California
My song pick two years ago today: The Fifth Dimension - Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In
