The Brooklyn Funk Essentials are the all-star session players of urban music. Their collective work has created a masterpiece melting-pot of spicy sound. This funky, jazzy, super-cool music soaks into your consciousness, while the clever lyrical content holds your unwavering attention.
"The Revolution Was Postponed Because of Rain" is a great example of the BFE' lyrical dexterity. This self-effacing ditty could even bring a smile to those who have been taking our world's tensions too seriously. Adding this to the smooth horn section, the grooving beat, and the raga-delivery, every track comes up aces. This group has the skills where it counts - in making soothing, flavorful music that is the ultimate in entertainment with a sense of humor.
It sure is 'cool', and the album does have that 'steadiness' ( you know...continuity), but 'easy'? It's not easy to be this good!
