Various Artists - New Orleans Funk: The Original Sound Of Funk Vol. 1 & 2
(Soul Jazz) CD & LP
Soul Jazz continues its amazing look at forgotten, under-appreciated & just down right amazing moments in musical history. The New Orleans Funk compilations take an amazing look at a city that has deep musical roots; N.O. was an integral city at Jazz’s birth & the legacy of this musical tradition is documented here. Packaged with extensive sleeve notes & pictures, this is a great document of a city that boasts talents which extend beyond that of just Fats Domino & The Meters. The word “funk” does this collection no justice. You’ll be surprised how many of these tunes you know…
