Slippin' Into Darkness - Funky Jams FV

This is the first of my redone Funky Jams mixes and part of my Final Version series. I was exploring deep into my album collection for some funky jams and some obscure funk classics and deep soul jazz. I came up with a few I hadn't used on any mixes over the years.

This first one starts off with one of my favorites that I've used many times as a title track over the years. I just couldn't resist for this Final Version mix and like the others it is an hour and a half long. Lots of jazz and lots of funk. This mix is mostly 1970's or thereabouts.
