A delicious selection of funky grooves from the Blue Note label, featuring such legendary names as Grant Green, Richard "Groove" Holmes and Jack McDuff. The "funk" presented here is definitely on the jazzier side of things as you might expect with a Blue Note compilation, each track has been selected with care and the performances are exceptional across the board. I particularly enjoy the smoky, nightclub vibe of "Sissy Strut", Jack McDuff's "Hunk O' Funk" is self explanatory, and the fuzzy guitars are a real delight on "Don't Knock My Love". Two of the Grant Green tracks appear on "Blue Breakbeats" which I posted here a few days ago and if you enjoyed that one you'll certainly find a lot to love about this cool collection.
