Time to
ignite your passion for funky, jazzy vibes with some new grooves you haven't
heard yet!
Several
venues have experienced the funk/jazz sounds of Da Phatfunk Clique. In
September of 1998, violinist Darrell “D-Funk” Looney began collaborating with
several musicians on what would be the first release in 1999, Pandemic Love.
The sound is unique as the violin is the lead instrument. Da Phatfunk Clique
was formed as a band by January of 2000, utilizing local talent in support of
the album release. Out of this effort came development of a unique sound, both
jazzy and funky, that has been described as an amalgamation of jazz from
Mahavishnu Orchestra and funk ambience of George Clinton's P-Funk. True to
form, these are among the group's influences as are artists such as Jean Luc
Ponty, Herbie Hancock, George Duke and Noel Pointer. Da Phatfunk Clique has
morphed into a musical collaborative concept with varying members, still under
the direction of violinist Darrell Looney.
The current release entitled “Phat
Jazz” builds upon the concept of funky jazz to elevate the mood. Darrell
“D-Funk” Looney takes the vibe to the next level with 11 new all original
tracks. "I am happy to get back to playing a little keyboards and even
some bass guitar for this project", says Darrell Looney. There is still
very notable collaborating going on with several fine musicians including jazz
luminary Bob Baldwin who brings his own brand of funky jazziness on the track
entitled “For Sake Of The Art”. This is a serious vibe to experience!
