The J.B.'s (sometimes punctuated The JB'south or The J.B.s) was the proper noun of James Brown's band from 1970 through the early 1980s. On records the band was sometimes billed nether alternating names such equally Fred Wesley and the JBs, The James Dark-brown Soul Train, Maceo and the Macks, A.A.B.B., Fred Wesley and the New JBs, The First Family, and The Last Word.^[i] In addition to backing Chocolate-brown, the J.B.'due south played backside Bobby Byrd, Lyn Collins, and other singers associated with the James Brown Revue, and performed and recorded as a self-contained group. In 2015, they were nominated for consecration into the Stone and Gyre Hall of Fame^[ii] but failed to exist inducted and can be considered for Musical Excellence in the future. They take been eligible since 1995.

Career [edit]

The "original" J.B.'s [edit]

The J.B.'s were formed in March 1970 after virtually of the members of Brownish's previous band walked out on him over a pay dispute. (Brown's previous bands of the 1950s and 1960s had been known as The James Dark-brown Band and The James Brown Orchestra.) The J.B.'due south initial lineup included bassist William "Bootsy" Collins and his guitarist brother Phelps "Catfish" Collins, formerly of the obscure funk ring The Pacemakers; Bobby Byrd (founder of the original Famous Flames singing group) (organ), and John "Jabo" Starks (drums), both holdovers from Brown's 60s band; 3 inexperienced horn players, Clayton "Craven" Gunnells, Darryl "Hasaan" Jamison, and Robert McCollough; and conga player Johnny Griggs. This version of the J.B.'south played on some of Chocolate-brown'south most intense funk recordings, including "Go Upwardly (I Feel Like Being a) Sex activity Machine", "Super Bad", "Soul Power", and "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Null". They as well accompanied Brown on a European bout (during which they recorded the long-delayed alive album Love Ability Peace), performed on the Sexual activity Car double LP, and released 2 instrumental singles, the much-sampled "The Grunt" and "These Are the J.B.'s".

Subsequently configurations [edit]

In December 1970 trombonist Fred Wesley rejoined James Dark-brown'due south system to pb the J.B.'south. Other former Brownish sidemen including Maceo Parker and St. Clair Pinckney eventually followed his lead, while the Collins brothers and nigh of the rest of the "original" J.B.'south left Brownish to join George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic collective. Wesley and Parker left in 1975. Chocolate-brown connected to bill his backing ring as the J.B.'s into the mid-1980s, when he changed their proper name to the Soul Generals, or Soul Thousand's.

Recordings [edit]

In addition to bankroll Brown on stage and on record during this era, the J.B.'south also recorded albums and singles on their own, sometimes with Brown performing on organ or synthesizer. Their albums were mostly a mixture of heavy funk tracks and some more jazz-oriented pieces. Near all of the J.B.'s recordings were produced past Brown, and most were released on his own characterization, People Records. The band scored a number of nautical chart hits in the early 1970s, including "Pass the Peas", "Gimme Some More than", and the #1 R&B hit, "Doing Information technology to Death". Credited to "Fred Wesley & the J.B.'s", "Doing It to Death" sold over i 1000000 copies and was awarded a gilt disc past the RIAA in July 1973.^[three]

Some of the J.B.'s releases have unusual characteristics. The 1974 album Breakin' Staff of life is unique, in that nearly of the songs accept a Fred Wesley spoken reminiscence dubbed onto the offset of the song, each fourth dimension over a canned backing track. Information technology is in sharp contrast to James Brown's real-fourth dimension dominance of the proceedings on the classic Doing It to Death LP. A similar oddity is encountered on the other 1974 album, Damn Right I Am Somebody, where xx-second extensions of that anthology'southward track-2 jam (each including James Brown's trademark shriek) take been spliced onto the beginnings of most of the other songs. Nether the name A.A.B.B., the grouping released a single, "Option upward the Pieces One past One", which reached #108 on the U.S. chart in 1975.^[iv] Both the song and the proper name—which stood for "To a higher place Average Black Band"—were a tribute to and tongue-in-cheek reply to the then-pop Scottish funk group, the Average White Band (Besides known as AWB) and its #1 hit unmarried, "Option Up the Pieces".^[4] The J.B.'s final single for Brown'southward People label, 1976'due south "Everybody Wanna Become Funky One More Time", features a rare hornless organisation.

Every bit funk music gave fashion in popularity to disco in the 1970s, the group's fabric and arrangements changed accordingly, simply their chart success declined along with Brown'southward own.

Like nearly of James Dark-brown's music, the recorded output of the J.B.'s has been heavily mined for samples past hip hop DJs and tape producers.

The JB Horns [edit]

During the 1980s and 1990s, Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley intermittently toured under the name The JB Horns, sometimes with other erstwhile Dark-brown sidemen such as Alfred "Pee Wee" Ellis in tow. The JB Horns recorded several albums for the Gramavision label which were subsequently reissued past Rhino Records. They also recorded an album under this proper name with producer Richard Mazda called I Like It Like That.

The JB Horns are likewise associated with The Horny Horns, staple members of P-Funk and Bootsy's Rubber Band, which was led by Fred Wesley and included Maceo, as well as Rick Gardner and Richard "Kush" Griffith on trumpets.

Reunion [edit]

A version of the J.B.'due south including Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins, Pee Wee Ellis, Bobby Byrd, and Clyde Stubblefield assembled to record the 1999 "reunion" album Bring the Funk on Down, dedicated to the retentiveness of St. Clair Pinckney. The album was released in Nihon by P-Vine Records, and in 2002 it was reissued in the U.S. by Instinct Records.

A reunion of the original J.B.'s rhythm section, with Bootsy and Phelps Collins, Clyde Stubblefield, and Jabo Starks, and supplemented by Bernie Worrell, recorded the Superbad moving-picture show soundtrack. They went on to perform the starting time tribute concert remembering James Brown.
