Jazz. . .

'Nuff said!
Four cats who like to kick funky jazz but with a twist. We employ a lot of Latin rhythms, modal jazz improvisation, and the violin as the lead instrument!

Why this name?
Four cats who dig PHAT beats and funky jazzy grooves form a serious clique! This was the generation of the name!
Do you play live?
We usually play clubs in and around NYC. The next live gig is with the North Shore Health System on April 22, 2004 at 7:30pm. For more information, call (516)465-2573.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
More direct availability to music lovers! You can purchase downloads of our tracks from any of the following: http://www.audiolunchbox.com/album?a=967 or http://www.buy.com/retail/searchResults.aspx?searchQuery=D-Funk+and+the+Phatfunk+Clique&queryType=music_artist&skdbg=12&loc=18250 from anywhere in the WORLD as long as you have a reasonably fast internet connection!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not very likely. We could not meet the obligations since we already each have careers! But hey! As Micheal likes to say, "Who knows?"
Band History:
Newly reformed in 2003, we like to experiment with modal jazz and hip hop grooves to create a seriously funky live sound. And we spice it up with dat latin and caribean flava!
Your influences?
Miles Davis, Michele Camillo, Meshell N'DegeOcello, George Duke, Prince meets Regina Carter hangin' out with Noel Pointer.
Favorite spot?
Everywhere there's PHAT funky jamz to elevate yo' mind!
Equipment used:
D-Funk: Stradivarious copy, with a Zeta retro fit and original ZETA Jazz 5-string
Micheal: Pearl ain't bad. Gretsch is nice too! But I'm very flexible. It's all about the experience on each instrument.
Brian: Yamaha 5-string
Janet: I'm not one of those people who will run out and get hold of the "latest and greatest". I still like my old Roland D50 mainstay.
