The Big Easy...
The Big Funky
New Orleans is a fascinating musical melting-pot which not only gave birth to jazz more than a century ago, but also to funk. Funk is before all a matter of rhythm and groove, and both are historically printed in the city's DNA. This amazing four-volume 85-track collection (mostly rare singles) intends to show how this new genre of music evolved, from the pioneering steps of innovative musicians in the 1950s to adulthood in the 1970s.
