First posthumous project, and ninth album overall, by the late jazz musician Wayman Tisdale , who died in May 2009 due to cancer, just 44 years. Tisdale in his youth was known for having played in the ranks of the NBA Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns, which closed in 1997, his sports career. His greatest triumph was definitely sporting the gold medal at the 1984 Olympics in the ranks of the U.S. basketball team.
The Fonk Record EPK
In addition to his basketball career, he devoted himself increasingly to his love for music, playing bass. In 1995 he recorded his first album Power Forward for Motown which was followed by many other projects until recently Rebound in 2008, the last album to have seen the light before his untimely death.
Now Rendezvous Records has released this new project, on which Tisdale was working before his death. For the occasion, Tisdale had created his alter-ego named funky Tiz , accompanied by his band, The Fonk Planetarians .
11 original tracks created with the help of excellent guest as George Duke, George Clinton and Ali Woodson the Temptations. The Record Fonk shows a new side of Wayman Tisdale, giving us an album with strong colors funk (as can be seen from the title of the disc), which allows us to appreciate his talent again, and his versatility as a musician.
