     About the Band:
     One of the most popular pop/jazz groups, Fattburger has been classified by some as new adult contemporary music, contemporary jazz, or smooth jazz. The San Diego-based unit has survived through many trends and still plays the same type of accessible funky music that was its original goal. Saxophonist Hollis Gentry, while in high school, led a group (Power) that opened for Cannonball Adderley at a college concert in 1972. After graduating, Gentry toured with R&B groups. He attended San Diego State University and during the second half of the 1970s had opportunities to play straight-ahead jazz with Bruce Cameron. When their last band broke up, Gentry and the other musicians (keyboardist Carl Evans, bassist Mark Hunter, drummer Kevin Koch, and guitarist Steve Laury) went out on their own and became Fattburger. Tommy Aros joined the band as their percussionist and in the early '90s, when Laury started a solo career, Evan Marks became Fattburger's guitarist. In the mid 90's, Fattburger found a home on the Shanachie label, releasing a string of well-received albums into the 21st Century.

A trumpeter who shot to fame in his early years with the Benny Goodman band, swing superstar Harry James first distinguished himself with a loud but fully controlled tone. After becoming a bandleader in his own right, he took a purposefully sweeter approach to his playing and presentation, aiming for popularity--and achieving it. He was the most popular bandleader of the '40s, and his records have continued to sell even after his death in 1983.

     Чрезвычайно удачная, на мой взгляд, фанковая версия песен шведской группы ABBA, сделанная шведским же коллективом под руководством Nils Landgren.

     Шведский тромбонист Nils Langren очень любит фанк... и слушать и играть. И это получается у него ох...е (ох*как*хорошо). Стал известе после альбома "Funky ABBA" (и не удивительно - ведь он когда то сотрудничал с этим легендарным коллективом).
     Этот альбом представляет собой так называемый raw funk - музыка, под которую если нет возможности танцевать - то вы будете просто качать головой в ритм - фанк в своём чистом виде, с небольшой примесью soul'a, джаза и олдскульным фанки стайл.
