Featured in the book ‘Jam Bands—North America’s Hottest Live Groups,’ Post Junction brings together funk, jazz, and rock with an emphasis on improvisation. Influences include Parliament/Funkadelic, Sly and the Family Stone, Jerry Garcia Band, Frank Zappa, and Miles Davis.
The Music
A typical Post Junction show may include tunes like Funkadelic’s “Standing On
The Verge Of Getting It On,” Parliament’s “Mothership Connection,” and Sly and
the Family Stone’s “Sing A Simple Song.” Classic funk grooves are used as the
jumping-off point for improvisation, and the jams may go in directions that
surprise band and audience alike. Picture a funky James Brown groove with Jerry
Garcia playing an extended solo on it, and that gives you a pretty good idea of
what goes down. Whether it’s jazz, funk, or rock, whatever it is, it’s about
uniting the band and the audience in the power of a groove—and taking it higher.
The Headlines
The year 2006 saw Post Junction jamming with funk legends George Clinton and
Bernie Worrell, inspiring the band to reach for new levels of the funk.
"Post Junction is a promising funk/groove band... has a musically smart sound that veers on the more rock side of jazz/funk/groove fusions. It also boasts better-than-average vocals and more focused songs for this genre, which could give it an edge. A prime example is "Time For Some Answers" with its rhythmic undertow and funky lead guitar work. Other highlights are the alluring instrumental grooves of "Vibe," which aptly lives up to its title and the soulful tones of "Stare Into the Hole."
