Summary: Funky jazz? Jazzy funk? Neither? Both? 2008-08-16
Comment: And that's three and a half stars there.
I don't know about you, but when I hear "Blue Note", I think jazz. So let me be very clear right from the start: this is NOT a jazz CD. It is mildly jazzy in spots, however, and there are a lot of songs that are straight ahead, or variations on, blues, so it is not too much of a stretch to see why this might be classified as a jazz recording. This is something of a cross between funk and jazz, with the funk winning out, I think. The reason why I went ahead and got it is because I had never heard of any of the artists, so, I thought it would be a good chance to get exposed to another side of jazz. In that respect, I succeeded. Plus, I also like a good funk blast every now and then, so I figured this would be a handy addition to my collection if it turned out to be more funk than not. But overall, this CD is nothing special. There is a lot of jazz organ work on this, some pretty cool and funky variations of familiar tunes, and at least for me, this is a CD unlike any other I have in my collection. For someone who became interested in jazz after hearing The Urban Grooves: Album II, this music is right up my alley. After listening to "Droppin'" a few times and still not really understanding what this particular collection of songs was trying to accomplish, I sought enlightenment from the liner notes. Truthfully, I would have been happy with just a bare bones explanation of the "Lab" part, or maybe something to at least explain the title. Not happening. The liner notes are written in a mish mash of Ebonics and DJ-ese so as to be less than understandable to outsiders like me. (The guy who wrote the liner notes has a question mark in his name, which pretty much says all you need to know about that.) In the end, all I can say is: this is a high quality but slightly esoteric Blue Note package. If you like funk, or like funky jazz, you will probably enjoy this recording. With new and like new copies going for a couple of bucks, it is a relatively cheap and risk free way to get some cool (not jazz) music in your collection.
