Funki Porcini – Lets See What Carmen Can Do

I love it because by picture is on the front cover.
Would be great if more people who are on the cover could post here!

I love this because my picure is on the back.

In media this ep was called "extreme jazz with psycho samples". I`m think it is the best release of Funki. As everyone know Funki Porcini makes his own musical instruments. His favorite artists - Charlie Mingus and Oliver Nelson. Funki said: Jazz is music not only for mind, but for body too. I don`t like music like german techno, because she is for body only". So, LETS SEE WHAT CARMEN CAN DO makes you dance and make your think. Top level of jazz.

Funki Porcini dives head-first into weirdo jazz with his EP, _Lets See What Carmen Can Do._ And if "Ritmo Di Jazz" sounds like it would be his take on Latin jazz, in a way you could say it is, even if the Latin element is subsumed underneath the speeding up and speeding down playfulness. "Shuffle Sheluvly" sounds much more straightforward, even as the rhythms get all caught up in themselves. But for pure craziness, the title track stands on its own, from the start-and-stop rhythm to the high-pitched squeal that resolves itself into a jazz horn. The samples are weird and seemingly random, but I'll be damned if the track doesn't work somehow. "Surge" sounds almost straightforward in comparison, and "Pete Pete Pete" is a hilarious bit of ridiculousness made up of random movie snippets.
