Brooklyn Funk Essentials
nu-jazz hip-hop jazz soul jazz
Influences: Pharoah Sanders, Miles Davis, Lonnie Liston Smith
Brooklyn Funk Essentials blend soul, jazz, hip-hop and funk with a horn-led front line of trumpet, trombone and saxophone over grooving rhythm section and lead vocals. Their live shows are built around extended, high-energy arrangements, including their reworking of Pharoah Sanders' 'The Creator Has A Master Plan', a cult favourite. The band formed in New York in the early 1990s from the city's club scene and have shared stages with James Brown, The Fugees and Erykah Badu.
