Various Artists - This Is Funky Jazz

This isn’t your grandpa’s jazz—This Is Funky Jazz is all groove, grit, and soul. Featuring ten floor‑friendly cuts from legends like Lonnie Liston Smith, Joe Bataan, and Oliver Nelson, this compilation turns smoky lounge vibes into full‑blown funk heat.

Pressed on classic black vinyl, this LP celebrates the soul‑jazz movement that soundtracked late-night lounges and bustling black clubs of the late '60s and early '70s. Think syncopated swing, sizzling horns, and basslines built for hips, not heads.

From Richard "Groove" Holmes’ TV‑theme funk to Bernard Purdie's percussive power moves, these tracks blend R&B swagger with jazz sophistication. Whether you're spinning it solo or soundtracking a house party, this album doesn’t ask for attention—it demands it.
