FUNKY FRIDAY

Posted about 1 year ago
**Allen Toussaint's** funk is infused with his New Orleans heritage. This is funk from the swamp, languid, humid, dark but light on it's feet.His horn charts, always tasteful, here add to gumbo feel, related to ska but worlds removed.This is not the frantic funk of the disco, no, this is the funk of the dance-barn, the fish-fry, the Friday night dance at the edge of town.

    dermahrk says Thanks DMDM. I am unfamiliar with Touissant, other than I know he did that CD with Costello which is still not in my possession. I like this.

    Bartleby says DMDM, you're a precious corpse. Posting Toussaint (French for the All Saints - the celebration of the dead) is beyond inspired. Merci, monsieur le mort.
