Jiro Inagaki & His Soul Media - Funky StuffJiro Inagaki & His Soul Media's Funky Stuff returns on LP via Nippon Columbia, and the title really does tell the story. Fat bass, crisp drums, bright horns and organ led movement make this one of the most instantly accessible entries in the Japanese jazz funk canon. It is loose, driving and full of groove, with the band locking into that sweet spot between soul jazz warmth and dancefloor friendly funk.
