I feel music in your eyes

“Could Heaven Be Like This” by Idris Muhammad is a funk and soul masterpiece that was released in 1977. The song is a testament to Muhammad’s remarkable talent as a drummer and his ability to blend the earthy rhythms of funk and soul with the sophisticated harmonies and structures of jazz.

The song’s infectious groove is anchored by Muhammad’s crisp, propulsive drumming, which forms the backbone of the track and sets the tone for the rest of the musicians. The bassline, provided by legendary funk bassist Wilbur “Bad” Bascomb, is a thing of beauty, weaving sinuously around Muhammad’s drums and providing the perfect counterpoint to the other instruments.

“Could Heaven Be Like This” was featured on Idris Muhammad’s 1977 album “Turn This Mutha Out”, which has been hailed as a classic of funk and soul music. The album features some of the best musicians of the era, including George Benson, Randy Brecker, and Grover Washington Jr., and showcases Muhammad’s ability to bring together musicians from different genres and create something truly special. Muhammad was a highly respected jazz drummer who played with many of the genre’s biggest names, but his love of funk and soul music was what truly set him apart. He was able to infuse his jazz sensibility with the raw, visceral energy of funk and soul, creating a unique sound that was both sophisticated and down-to-earth.
