Soul jazz records are reissuing their long out of print classic new orleans funk album which is probably the finest compilation that soul jazz have ever released.

This is the definitive collection of new orleans funk featuring acknowledged masters of funk (the meters, Eddie Bo, professor Longhair) next to some of the earlier artists who shaped the meaning of funk. The album is also filled with many rare, sought after and undiscovered funk tracks. It covers the period from the emergence of New Orleans funk in the early 1960's through to the mid 1970s.

For those in any way interested in funk this record is an essential part of anyone's record collection.
