The Greyboy Allstars • Como De Allstars
Sunny, loose-limbed, and grinning from ear to ear, this collection of infectious and sometimes intricate funk sounds like the songs that play in your head as your foot touches the sidewalk on the first day of spring.
The Fearless Flyers • Tailwinds
“Fearless” is a good word to use for this fully-formed funk outfit, as are “fierce,” “fiery,” “finessed,” “futuristic,” and so many effing others. A blend of precision and groove that does well on repeat.
Free Radicals • Outside the Comfort Zone
A dynamic collection of mostly-short funky jazz instrumentals, with a full horn section and a driving beat.
Stanton Moore • With You In Mind
A tribute to Allen Touissant organized by Stanton Moore, who plays drums for Galactic and many other New Orleans institutions. Featuring an all-star cast of NO funk and R+B luminaries, this collection of slickly produced proto-funk has something for everyone.
