T.S.
Monk is funk band lead by Thelonius Sphere Monk, III and released their
first project titled “House Of Music” in 1980. The project was produced
by the legendary Sandy Linzer who also gave us Dr. Buzzard’s Original
Savannah Band, Odyssey, Cory Daye and Teresa. “Bon Bon Vie” is a single
from the album that is slick and plays out as one of the remnants of the
funk and disco era of the late 70s. A big band sound is injected as a
level of nuance from Linzer’s production. This one is the early 80s
again in transition and fills that funky space which took dance floors
into another chapter of dance music.
I
have taken the album version of “Bon Bon Vie” and recreated a funkier
ReStructure Mix with more of the breaks and riff discoveries that make
this one so irresistible. An homage to that early 80s period and finding
the funk all over again in a new way.
