This trio of top Memphis musicians, who have also participated in studio recordings with Rufus Thomas and Syl Johnson, delivers jazz-funk in a style reminiscent of \"The Meters and Booker T recording a 1960s movie soundtrack for Blue Note at Rudy Van Gelder's studio\"! Their sound combines Memphis's unique, soulful funkiness with the coolness of Blue Note! With an organ, guitar, and drums lineup reminiscent of Soulive, City Champs' roots are in Memphis. These three musicians, who have absorbed everything from blues to soul and funk rooted in that region, are renowned musicians who have participated in recordings with Rufus Thomas, Syl Johnson, William Bell, and the Memphis Horns, among others. A jazz-funk sound that combines the funkiness and coolness of Memphis's iconic Booker T with the style of the quintessential jazz label Blue Note!! A special album edited specifically for Japanese listeners! This special album features a selection of tracks from his two previously released albums that Japanese listeners are sure to enjoy! From the opening track \"Poppin'\" and the following \"Drippy,\" which will immediately grab the hearts of jazz-funk listeners, to the soul-jazz tracks \"Rigamarole\" and \"Takin' State\" reminiscent of Jack McDuff, and \"Theme From Mad Men (A Beautiful Mine),\" a seamless 60s boogaloo-style arrangement of the theme song from the recently popular American drama \"Mad Men,\" this approximately 60-minute album is packed with highlights. And to top it all off, there's \"ShishidoJo,\" a track that seems to have been influenced by the Nikkatsu action film \"Ace Joe,\" making it a fitting finale to the album!!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53227009376565,"sku":"4995879934319","price":3900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/5966\/5973\/files\/51scAUyV02L._AC.jpg?v=1785375499","url":"https:\/\/tokyojapancdshop.com\/products\/4995879934319","provider":"TOKYO JAPAN CD SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
