Released on Federal Records in 1963, \"The Greasy Spoon\" is a wonderfully infectious organ-led groove, driven by Marr's punchy Hammond playing and a tight, hard-swinging rhythm section. Its combination of bluesy jazz phrasing, rolling bass and infectious backbeat makes it a natural favourite for funk and breakbeat collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flip, \"I Can't Go On (Without You)\", offers a contrasting change of pace, with a more soulful, melodic feel that highlights Marr's versatility beyond the dancefloor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarr was an important figure in the Ohio jazz scene, recording extensively for King and Federal Records, and sharing stages with musicians including saxophonist Rusty Bryant. His recordings from this period capture the growing crossover between jazz, R\u0026amp;B and funk, helping lay the foundations for the organ-driven soul-jazz sound that would flourish throughout the decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA cracking example of early-'60s Hammond funk, and an essential 45 for fans of raw, groove-heavy soul-jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Funkadoobian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55737767362897,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/9850\/9393\/files\/Hank_Marr_The_Greasy_Spoon_I_Can_t_Go_On_Without_You_f.jpg?v=1794221731","url":"https:\/\/thefunkadoobian.com\/products\/hank-marr-the-greasy-spoon-i-cant-go-on-without-you","provider":"The Funkadoobian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
