| | This is Soul Jazz RecordsÆ new journey into the heart of New | |
| | Orleans and a guide to the cityÆs finest Funk music produced in | |
| | the late 1960s and early 1970s.Æ | |
| | | |
| | Featuring everyone from The Meters to Eddie Bo, Lee Dorsey to | |
| | Betty Harris, this is a whoÆs who of the Crescent CityÆs most | |
| | famous and most funky! | |
| | | |
| | The city of New Orleans has deep musical roots that stretch back | |
| | to Africa. New Orleans first gave birth to Jazz music, a Black | |
| | musical form centred on rhythm, improvisation, freedom and | |
| | collectivity at the turn of the century. Similarly in the late | |
| | 1960s New Orleans Funk came to define a unique sound, mixing | |
| | Caribbean rhythms, New Orleans second-line syncopation and rhythm | |
| | and blues, all played by the Big EasyÆs finest musicians. Whilst | |
| | Jazz and Funk music spread throughout the world, many | |
| | African-American musical traditions remained within the city | |
| | limits such as Mardi Gras and Carnival, Saturday Night Fish | |
| | Fries, Funeral Marching bands and much more which partly explains | |
| | why New Orleans music is so unique. | |
| | | |
| | The album comes with extensive sleeve-notes, exclusive | |
| | photography and more, and is an essential guide to the musical | |
| | landscape of New Orleans and - together with Soul Jazz RecordsÆ | |
| | earlier New OrleansÆ releases - presents the definitive story of | |
| | New Orleans Funk. | |
| | | |
| | Although on the mainland coast, New Orleans is also surrounded by | |
| | lakes giving the city an island feel. Similarly its proximity to | |
| | Puerto Rico, Cuba, Haiti and the other West Indian Isles means | |
| | that Latin and Caribbean musical influences are in its veins as | |
| | much as American musical traditions. | |
| | The upside of this cityÆs isolation is that New Orleans musical | |
| | traditions flourished away from those of the rest of America. A | |
| | thriving city full of artists, musicians, singers, producers, | |
| | record companies, studios (well one studio actually) led to a | |
| | 24-hour, 7-day a week musical life, playing in clubs, bars, | |
| | brothels, carnivals and parades. | |
| | | |
| | The downside of the cities isolation from the rest of the US was | |
| | that the city never developed a solid music industry to back up | |
| | the creative over-supply. Whilst New York had Atlantic, Detroit | |
| | had Motown, Memphis had Stax, Chicago had Chess, Los Angeles had | |
| | Modern, New Orleans had a multitude of small businesses fighting | |
| | for space - and often each other. Without the marketing, | |
| | promotional weight, business nouse and financial clout, New | |
| | Orleans labels found it hard to get the nationwide distribution | |
| | necessary to fill the million-odd jukeboxes throughout the | |
| | country. So whilst every family in America knows the music of | |
| | Gladys Knight or Smokey Robinson few could tell you about û let | |
| | alone hum a tune from - Benny Spellman, Inell Young, Warren | |
| | Leeà.This is far from being a reflection of the artists | |
| | creativity or musicality - as anyone can tell you New Orleans | |
| | melodies are the catchiest of all - more it is a reflection of | |
| | the limitations of the local music industry. | |
| | | |
| | Some New Orleans artists became successful throughout the US such | |
| | as Fats Domino in the 1950s and in the late 1960s The Meters and | |
| | Lee Dorsey, but many artists remained within the city limits. | |
| | | |
| | This makes for a fascinating goldmine of music released by a | |
| | complex myriad of small labels run mainly by New Orleans | |
| | producers, promoters and artists themselves. New Orleans Funk 2 | |
| | brings together many of these artists along with text, | |
| | sleeve-notes and photographs that gives social and historical | |
| | context to the incredibly funky music of New Orleans. | |
