The Story
Originally released in 1977, âA Blow For Me, A Toot For Youâ put legendary trombonist Fred Wesley, sax player Maceo Parker and trumpet layer Rick Gardner front and centre. Backed by the cream of the P-Funk crew the album was sensational.
At this time the P-Funk collective was always in the studio laying down tracks for a multitude of bands that included Parliament, The Brides of Funkenstein and Parlet. The chemistry on all these classic recordings is evident and âA Blow For Me, A Tot For Youâ is up there with albums like âFunk Or Walkâ or âThe Mothership Connectionâ.
Most of the material was penned by George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and Glen Goins including the seminal âUp For The Down Strokeâ âWhen In Doubt; Vampâ and âFour Playâ. Wesley got onto the score board with his own âPeace Fugueâ that closed the set.
Ace records are delighted to put this album out again on their BGP imprint with detailed liner notes penned by writer, broadcaster and P-Funk expert Kevin Le Gendre.
