VA - Far Out Jazz & Afro Funk (2010)

Bringing together driving Afro beat, trademark Latin funk rhythms and American-styled jazz this electrifying collection has been re-mastered for super high quality sound and shows off the field at its best. Far deeper and harder than you’d expect, African roots come through in the infectious batuque drumming, percussion and scatting chants. Alongside three previously unreleased tunes comes the very best grooving funk from Azymuth’s chart buster ‘Jazz Carnival’ to Sabrina Malheiros’ modern classic ‘New Morning’. This connoisseur’s selection of essential contemporary tracks flows beautifully.

Following hugely popular guides to Bossa Nova and Samba, Far Out’s third installment delivers a genre-spanning slice of the finest funky, afro jazz.
