Gotta see this for sure. Hope there's still someone carrying the programming by then.

Looks awesome.

Hell, PBS may be gone by next week thanks to Trump's ban

I’m looking forward to watching this, for sure!

Thank you, I'll look forward to it. Jazz and funk are my favorite music styles.

Being a true fan of funk music,... I can't wait to see this!

donpbenz.bsky.social•71 days ago

Big fan.

The Luther Vandross doc, the Sly Stone doc and We Want the Funk make a perfect trilogy on post-Civil Rights black music. The perfect way to nourish yourself when dealing with all the foolishness.

Bike Vessel was also very inspiring! On PBS Independent Lens.

Heartily recommend the Sly Stone + I'll check the other two :)

Nice, a new way to get my groove on

Wow! The 70s were the best of times & also the worst of times for me. The music saved me every single time I wanted to get off the ride.

Marcus Miller is a lord!!! I saw him during the SMV thunder series of concerts awhile back and I genuinely could not believe the talent I witnessed. A whole room of bass players who just stood there in awe for 2 hours 😅

Bass player united!! 🤘🤘🤘

lurkymclurk.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh yes, this is manna for us bass players

old-drummer-guy.bsky.social•71 days ago

Agreed!

elmcitytree.bsky.social•71 days ago

Oh! You’re a bass player!! There’s a scene that will make you LAUGH! A few actually. You’re in for a treat.

lurkymclurk.bsky.social•71 days ago

Very excited!

So excited, I wore out the VHS on the PBS docu Rock and Roll Make it Funky episode growing up- I hope this takes it to a higher level.
