brooklyn funk essentials is an amazingly versatile collective with
an eclectic performing style and control of a number of genres,
including funk, soul, acid jazz, folk, dub, hip-hop, rap, latin,
reggae and ska.
initially created as a studio side project in 1993 by arthur baker
and lati kronlund, the collective was a hit on the new york city
live scene. they released ôcool and steady and easyö, their first
album, the following year, then gave us the successful 1995
underground hit single ôthe creator has a master planö. this was
followed in 1998 by the turkish music inspired ôin the buzz bagö,
and their last release was ômake æem like itö in 2000.
the 23 members of brooklyn funk essentials include vocalists,
poets, musicians and djÆs. the original line-up featured vocalist
and dancing queen joi cardwell, vocalist and poet hanifa ôsha-keyö
robinson and reggae and rap vocalist daniel ôpapa deeö wahlgren,
with dub poet everton sylvester and poet david allen. dj jazzy
nice was on turntables, paul shapiro on tenor saxophone and flute,
josh roseman on trombone, bob ôbassyö brachmann on trumpet and
keyboard, yuka honda also on keyboard, yancy drew lamber on drums,
e.j.rodriguez on percussion, and lars ôlatiö kronlund on bass also
serving as the musical director.
achieving its first success in europe on a dorado label, the album
ôcool and steady and easyö was later released in the us under rca
groovetown. it was voted billboardÆs best r&b album of the year,
and at the same time was enjoying international acclaim for the
single ôthe creator has a master planö, a distinctive rendition of
the pharoah sanders classic. they went on to tour europe, with atn
stadwijk replacing yuka honda on keyboards and stephanie mckay
taking joi cardwellÆs place on lead vocals. also contributing to
the group are andre atkins on trombone, tony allen on percussion,
mark adams on keyboards, desmond foster on guitar and paul ôziggyö
