ninjijo I came straight here after watching the film Chef. Simply amazing rendition of a timeless classic. They capture the vibe so magically, joyous, sultry, funky all smoking hot. Hats off to these soulful genius's🖤 Favorite track: Sexual Healing.

Lute FP I had to buy this after the first spin on Bandcamp. It's a New Orleans brass marching band sound with a gangsta attitude. I'm not typically a gangsta kind of guy, but in this case it causes the sound of this band to transcend the genre. This album has horns on the front and balls on the back.

Highly recommended if you find yourself wanting to like jazz funk but get bored with most of what's out there.

about

Far from being a one trick pony, this is an accomplished album that fuses a unique blend of marching brass, jazz, funk, soul and hip hop.
Check the Snoop/George Clinton cover What s My Name for more party vibes than a get together round Dre s! The Hot 8 are a collection of musicians from New Orleans who have first hand knowledge of not only the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, but also the injustice that followed. Yet they still stand by their message of positivity. Life affirming stuff!
