LEROY AND THE DRIVERS / BREAKESTRA - Sad Chicken
In 1967, after ceaseless midwest club touring, this cincinatti band blessed the funk world with this future anthem, on tiny detroit label 'duo'. The dirge-like intro primes a wild, squawking sax-driven theme, with free-jazz improvisation at the end that puts the song well ahead of its time. An airtight rhythm section ensured dancefloor eruption when the track was rediscovered by funk djs in the early 1990's, and copies ended up changing hands for $500.
Considered one of the top vibes players in the world, Johnny Lytle was known for his great hand speed and showmanship. He was also a songwriter and wrote many of his own hits, including "The Loop," "The Man," "Lela," "Selim," and the jazz classic "The Village Caller." Lytle recorded more than 30 albums for various jazz labels including Tuba, Jazzland, Solid State and Muse. Throughout his career he performed and recorded with jazz greats the likes of Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton, Miles Davis, Nancy Wilson, Bobby Timmons and Roy Ayers.
