A Funky Journey And Then Some.......2006-07-21
Cool and Steady and Easy is a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece of funk done right. As always, the Brooklyn Funk Essentials are grooving and are as funky as they wanna be and then some. This cd proves it!
Providing a real smooth ride from start to finish without any detours, every song on this disc is kickin'.
Personally I was hooked on the first listen. I am extremely pleased to have this music as a part of my collection/library.
If you enjoy a righteous mix of funk, jazz, acid-jazz, R & B, hip-hop, and reggae with a dash of salsa, then get this cd. Put the player on repeat, and take the journey! You will certainly enjoy the ride.
5 stars and then some!
Funk-a-licious.......2004-12-02
An absolute must for fans of funk and jazz fusion. The album melds together R&B, jazz, salsa and rap - with the tracks laid against the sounds of urban life - for a deliciously funky package. Highly recommend to those who enjoy Liquid Soul and The Brand New Heavies - of this genre, this is my personal favorite!
Brooklyn Funk Essentials Rule!.......2004-11-27
Hey, let me just say this, if you haven't purchased this CD yet just go on and put it in your shopping cart right now!!! BFE's "Cool and Steady and Easy" CD hands the listener an eclectic offering of a acid-jazz-funk-soul-hip/hop mixture that totally succeeds and it is no doubt as you listen to each track that these folks had nothing but absolute fun putting this CD together! It sounds that good!!!
First introduced to BFE's funky, hard driving music-style while frantically driving a friend to the airport and in the frenzy of almost missing her flight, I later found myself the proud new owner of one of the best mixtures of acid-jazz-funk-soul-hip/hop influenced music that ever hit my ears!
Totally danceable, every track will get your feet moving; trust me, its totally impossible and absolutely irresistible trying to remain seated and simply listen to this jazz-funk-soul-hip/hop offering! If this CD doesn't find a permanent place in your CD player . . . well, I can't find the words right now except that it should, so what are you waiting for, click this CD into your shopping cart and dance, dance, dance and enjoy the music! Oh, and don't worry, I couldn't totally dis' my friend, besides, she missed this CD immediately once she settled in so I brought her a new copy!
the most played disc I've ever bought.......2003-02-10
I completely agree w/ the other reviewers kudos for BFE and this CD. I also bought it on a whim while living in NYC and looking to broaden my musical horizons. It's f-ing brilliant and never fails to put me in a great mood. Musically, it's inventive, smart, well-written, well-produced. It's THE BEST cd for background music at a party as well. People always inquire about it...
Pretty much an all around good mix..........2003-01-20
This cd has pretty much an all around good mix... My fave was the slow groovin' "Take the L Train"... I definitely would recommend it and check them out more in depth (like I'm going to do)...

This CD is the definition of hip........2002-07-03
I'm just a white country boy who worked in NYC for 10 years before escaping back to the Arizona desert. But being part of NYC teaches you the meaning and flavor of funk, and once it is in your blood, it never washes out. Some of the best funk/jazz in NYC can be found in the subway system, and not in the grand halls. Right from the heart, nothing is pasturized. And Brooklyn? Brooklyn is the coolest and funkiest part of the New York scene. George Clinton is hiding behind every steet sign, just waiting to deliver a message directly into your soul.
I bought this CD on a whim. Never heard of Brooklyn Funk Essential before. To be honest, I liked the name! But inside of 10 minutes I knew I was going to wear out this CD. These guys understand the Big Apple trip and the funk gospel. And they successfully do this without being offensive, on the contrary, they draw you in and win you over. They earn your respect. The driving urban sound is powerful and complex. Each cut is unique, yet ties the whole thing together. "Stickman crossing the Brooklyn Bridge" is worth the price alone!
I have since searched the web for other work of these young and talented musicians. I've found a few things and I've bought them all. Amazon.com has a standing order to give me anything these cats turn out. I'm a BFE fan, no matter where I am living.
If you like the spoken word and a great jazzy sound.......2001-06-19
this C.D. is a must have. The songs are not necessarily sung--but the rhythms and music behind make this album unforgettable. The sax sections are especially good but the entire Cd forms a complete exhibition of spoken word music at its best. A ton of fun and a must buy if you are a fan of Spearhead, Tricky or any other trip-hop/acid jazz artist.
