A renaissance of funk and soul stirs in parts of contemporary music. When first heard, this rebirth of funk sounds whisked my back to a time when I first heard early 70’s Bay Area Funk (a la Ebony - coming soon!). Skating rinks and vinyl stores (according to my father, funk aficionado) were much better places then and there. It’s a beautiful happening that with the right amount of encouragement and hype will continue to grow and tempt the talented to imitate. One such talent, Steve Lacy, has given at least some of himself to the rebirth of funk. You’ll be as appreciative as I am, no doubt.
