Janko Nilovic wasn't the only one turning out funky grooves on the Montparnasse 2000 label as evident on this killer compilation. Most of the music falls under the label of jazz but it's all kept pretty tight with only a couple of tracks missing the mark. The absolute standout in my opinion is "Ghetto" which is a thoroughly compelling slab of afro funk goodness. Meanwhile Jacky Giordano and Rene Costy infuse some nice crime jazz into the proceedings which is more than welcome. "Ok Richard" has been comped before on "La Guepe Vol.2" but the majority of the other tracks are unfamiliar to me. Montparnasse is a library that I only have a passing knowledge about and this compilation certainly puts into perspective how good the composers were who graced their releases.
