I completely agree on the avant garde, but I am more of a post bop guy anyhow and am a much bigger Miles fan.

January 6: James Brown
Bootsy Collins’ other-worldly bass work with James Brown and Parliament/Funkadelic has guaranteed him a place among the world’s funk royalty. Having hit the ground running with Brown’s backing band in the early '70s, the JBs, Bootsy developed an intuitive understanding of how to groove, and in turn established the bass guitar as an instrument that was capable of driving the band and commanding the song, rather than merely supporting it.
James Brown paved the way for so many of my favorite artists.

Day 3: McCoy Tyner - Extensions
Much like Holiday, Tyner performed with his whole soul and painted poignant musical portraits. One of my favorite and probably underrated jazz musicians.

I have become a big fan of Tyner over the last few years. Definitely my favorite pianist.

Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers - Bustin’ Loose
Different Brown, but I assure you it’s still very funky. This is a DC area classic. I bought this when I was living there and the guy at the counter asked why I didn’t already own it

The cards have spoken...
January 4: Iggy Pop
Iggy Pop catapulted to fame as the frontman of The Stooges, a pioneering rock band that played a pivotal role in the emergence of punk and proto-punk in the 1970s. His dynamic stage presence, marked by unpredictable antics and raw vocal style, became a symbol of rebellion, setting the stage for the punk movement. Iggy's versatility as an artist, from garage rock to experimental sounds, showcased his enduring influence on rock music.
His legacy is marked not only by fame but by his crucial role in shaping the rebellious essence of punk and his lasting impact on subsequent generations of musicians. Pick whatever album this Oracle Card prompts for you - whether it be Iggy, The Stooges, or another album brimming with rebellious attitude.
Day 4: Waylon Jennings - Lonesome, On’ry & Mean
One of the most rebellious albums in spirit that I own.

Day 06: James Brown
De La Soul - Buhloone Mind State
Sadly, don’t have any James Brown in my collection. I should do something about that. Instead I chose this record specifically because it features the jam “I Be Blowin’”, a track that essentially just features longtime funk saxophonist and former member of James Brown’s backing band, Maceo Parker blowing his horn over some lovely curated DLS beats.

Day 5: Neil Young - Before + After
I picked another masterful genre bender for this choice, reflecting on his career and even bending expectations on his own material deep in his career.

Day 6
Lee Fields - Let’s Get a Groove On
If you ever wondered why Lee Fields is known as “Little JB”, you need look no further than this album. It’s so modeled after Mr Brown, one might assume it is an album by a tribute act.
