Wayman Tisdale - Collegiate hoops star, all-star NBA pro, world-renowned contemporary jazz bassist and... undercover funkateer?

Yes, Wayman lived a rich and varied life, but most people never learned of his longing to play funk music. Some lucky-ass fans got a glimpse into his alter-ego of 'Tiz' onstage, but the rest of us knew him simply as a gentle giant of music and life. Tiz is the six-foot-eight (in platforms and full 'fro) swaggering funk master who led The Fonkie Planetarians on this release. Features George Clinton and George Duke, as well as the late Ali Woodson from The Temptations.
