The Best of Brick

Amazon.com
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

Excellent & definitely "Old School". I played it at our family reunion and everybody stopped what they were doing and got into it!

Regarding full-length "Dazz" by Brick.......2006-07-15

I bought "Old School - Vol. 2" specifically to get the full-length version of Dazz by Brick, among other songs. I was disappointed and angry that it was the 5 min. radio version. After reading your reviews here, I'm glad I didn't choose to get the Best of Brick. Though I enjoy other songs by Brick, Dazz is my all-time favorite. Today I found the long version on the "Disco Super Hits" CD. Though I'm not crazy about other songs on this CD it's worth the money. I will be playing my Dazz over and over with my sun-roof open, a smile on my face, and the wind blowing free in my hair! :-)

The Cd itself seems to be pretty good with the hits of Brick but how do you not produce a compilation like this without "Dazz" in it's full length? I should hope that whoever put this one together was on drugs or something so that they would have a legitimate excuse for not doing it especially when there was plenty of room. Without the flute solo in "Dazz", it has no pizzazz.

I have been a fan of Brick since their breakout song "DAZZ" in 1976. I can remember, as a teenager, being mesmorized by the bass solo on the long version of this song. Naturally that song is on "Best of Brick" as well it should be. But to me their are some obvious omissions that any real Brick fan would notice. Two very fine instrumentals, "Southern Sunset," from their first album, and "The Happening," from their final album, "Summer Heat" are excluded. In fact, the title song of their final album along with "Sweat(Till U Get Wet)," should have been included. Their are several ballads on "Best of Brick," which does'nt make sense to me because Brick was never known for its slow songs. These omissions are the only reasons preventing me from giving this album five stars.

I found this to be a good sample of their wares. Now, just give us the albums, and we'd be able to jam to their tunes at their full length! The versions on this album are just a little "short." Five stars for the music, but three stars for the disc!!
