Various Artist – Emergency Funk Radio
The compilation “Emergency Funk Radio” documents a new generation of jazz / funk / groove musicians. Dean Brown inspired me with his Emergency Funk Radio conception to realize this project. Emergency Funk Radio presents beside the extraordinary funk-guitar player Dean Brown, the amazing groove jazz trio SOULIVE, Dean Brown`s Groove Warrios, Avi Bortnick the guitar player from John Scofield’s Überjam Band, Boston’s funk sensation Lettuce, featuring members of Soulive and John Scofield, multi-instrumentalist / bass player Magnum Coltrane Price (wellknown from Nils Landgren’s band), sax-man Sam Kininger (wellknown for his work for Lettuce and Soulive), the legendary Medeski, Martin & Wood, Aja West’s Mackrosoft, a worldwide collective of funk-minded musicians featuring members of Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters: Mike Clark & Paul Jackson and Mother Funk Conspiracy – a power force to be reckoned with. Funk is as Funk does.
