Free Music Notes for The Best of Brick

Free Music Review: Good quality 70s soul/funk (and jazz/funk)
Hit: 4 Stars

I caught the tail end of an edition of the Oprah show sometime in 2006 or the year before, and there was Tyler Perry and some other dude teaching Ms Winfrey some dance moves. I immediately recognised the tune they were dancing to as one I had loved madly in my younger days but I never knew what it was called or whom it was by. I spent the best part of a year trawling through the internet using different search methods trying to find out what the deal was with the song but to no avail.

Then one day, out of the clear blue sky, Amazon suggested this album to me under "Today's Recommendations For You". I clicked on the soundclips and there it was. The tune of course, was "Dazz" and judging from the preceding reviews, I'm not alone in loving the song. Thank you, Amazon.

I immediately placed my order and waited patiently for the CD to arrive. I was playing it on constant rotation for weeks on end and still put it on every now and then, whenever I feel like I need a pick-me-up. The song just makes me smile. And as luck would have it, "Dazz" is not the only tune on this CD I used to groove to as a youngster. "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody" was also a firm favourite back in the day and other tunes on here, like "Music Matic", "Living From The Mind" & "We Don't Wanna Sit Down, We Wanna Get Down are excellent pieces of jazz/funk. "Dusic", "Good High", "All The Way" & "Don't Ever Lose Your Love" are good quality 70s soul/funk. In fact, all the songs here are good quality. It's the "Best Of Brick", after all.

I finally got to see Tyler Perry's movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman (Widescreen Edition) this summer and found out that "Dazz", alongside other golden oldies like The Whispers' hits "Lady" & "It's A Love Thing", Midnight Star's "No Parking (On The Dance Floor)" and even, coincidentally, "Aint Gonna Hurt Nobody", all featured in the movie. This is probably what he was on the aforementioned Oprah show to talk about.

For reasons I am yet to ascertain though, none of these were included on the soundtrack album (Diary of a Mad Black Woman). Does anyone know the story behind that? It's a good CD but in my opinion, if they had included the oldies, it would've been awesome.

The Best of Brick Poster

An Atlanta jazz band with funk underpinnings, Brick's claim to fame was their No. 1 R&B hit "Dazz." Basically a light funk groove, with jazz instrumentals on top, and a unison vocal, this tune set the stage for Brick's vision of discofied jazz: they followed that first hit with "Dusic" (what else, "disco meets music" much as the prior hit tackled jazz) and then shifted into a straighter funk direction with followup hits like "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody" and "We Don't Want to Sit Down, We Want to Get Down." The Best of Brick is a very consistent hits package, though once past the hits there's some filler. Still, for fans of Old School funk, this is an essential band and album. --Tom Vickers
