• We Loved It!
  There are not many CD's that my husband and I both enjoy, but this is one of the few. My husband loves Funk and I love Smooth Jazz, and I found this CD to be a unique combination of the two. We loved the guest appearances of Funk legends, especially Boosy Collins, and we would definitely recommend this compilation to our friends or even give as a gift during the holidays.

  Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swinging" and Tower Of Power's "You Got To Funkifize" are given strong re-workings.
