Some Skunk Funk - Brecker Brothers - Drum Transcription & Performance

Welcome to another installment of Real Book Drumming, an educational YouTube series where I explore iconic jazz standards and fusion masterpieces through detailed drum transcriptions and performances. In this video, I present my take on the first 64 bars on “Some Skunk Funk”, one of the standout tracks from the 1975 debut album of the Brecker Brothers, The Brecker Bros. This energetic jazz fusion piece, composed by Randy Brecker, is a masterclass in syncopation, intricate rhythms, and musicality, featuring none other than Harvey Mason on drums. Released on the Brecker Brothers’ self-titled album under Arista Records in 1975, “Some Skunk Funk” quickly became a fusion classic. Known for its complex arrangements and funky grooves, this track showcases the incredible talents of the Brecker Brothers and their ensemble of top-tier musicians. Harvey Mason, who was one of the most in-demand drummers in the industry at the time and was known for his groundbreaking work on Herbie Hancock's “Chameleon”, was the drummer on the session. His reputation preceded him and his skills in the studio exceeded all expectations. Harvey Mason not only had an exceptional groove, but according to eyewitnesses he was also an excellent sight-reader. Will Lee, the bassist on the session, recalls that when Harvey took his place behind the drums, he unfolded the charts and clamped them over his cymbal stand so that he could sight-read the complex arrangements. What followed, according to Will Lee, was a demonstration of Mason's skill: His reading and execution were so effortless, with an ease and confidence that left everyone present in disbelief. “Some Skunk Funk” has remained a favorite among jazz fusion enthusiasts and musicians. At the 1976 Grammy Awards, the album The Brecker Bros. received three nominations, solidifying its status as a landmark in the jazz fusion genre. The track’s signature combination of groove, melody, and technical complexity. The superimposed sheet music is available for free download to subscribers of my site www.deinschlagzeuglehrer.de. The transcription is written with the notation program Finale. If you enjoyed this video, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
