Greetings one and all.
Been busy with a number of projects, including the above. Was also chosen to be the equivalent of Randy from American Idol Yes, I am one of the 3 judges for East Africa's version of the Idols (Tusker Project Fame), so I'll be Live on TV every Saturday and Sunday from April till June 23rd!
Wish me luck, don't wanna let down the Lowdowners ;\)
Back to the topic:
The new album is titled The EnFUNKclopedia Of Jazz; Vol.1 Groove
Audio samples are now available on http://www.myspace.com/blackrootsunlimited

The available audio samples from the new album are: Smile Of Innocence, Groovin' with Bernard Edwards, Hungry for my Honey's Funky Cookin' (still being processed by myspace as I post this; please revisit later to hear it too ;\) ) and My Mama's Love Is Funky.
I'll also mail a couple of copies to the Lowdowners via Jeremy C, Phil W and Zeronyne. Hope you enjoy the music, above all, all opinions and criticisms are welcome \:\)
One Love

AWESOME!! I Loved it!! Am listening to it right now, and am delighted. It is real cool, and a nice blend of Soul+Funk-Jazz, just as I like it.

Oh my! Relaxed, very funky - just the right balance of restraint and flow. You had me bopping in my chair. I love these cuts, I couldn't move from the chair 'til I'd gone through them all! I enjoyed your last jazzfunk excursion, TShaka, but this is a cut above.

Fine indeed! I'm going to be listening carefully trying to cop some of your vibe! ;\)

Hey Phil W and JC, many thanx for taking time out to have a listen and give an opinion Means alot.
Still working hard to improve on the bass playing. I'll let you know when the Cds are out. Infact, the album will include a DVD of our last concert that we had in December 2007 \:\) . The sound on the DVD ain't perfect but can pass ;\)
We had earthing problems at the venue all night
Again, thanx for taking time to listen.
One Love

Nice. The grooves are thick and the cuts sound pro. I'd buy it.
