Mizell Brothers talk Disco, Soul, Motown and Sound Factory
October, 2006, Melbourne, AU
The name Mizell may not set bells ringing in every household, but to those of us who devour the small print on the backs of record sleeves, they’re legends, a family that has made its mark on music as firmly as any alive. Larry, Fonce and Rod penned the famous early hits for the Jackson 5, ushered jazz and funk breathlessly into each other’s arms (complete with synthesizers), and are even responsible for the odd disco hit. They also found time to help put a man on the moon, but that’s another story. In this unique session at the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy, they come prepared with their own PowerPoint presentation to make sure we don’t miss a beat of their incredible story.
