"WARDELL QUEZERQUE'S FUNKY FUNKY NEW ORLEANS"

A lifelong fixture and staple in the evolution of New Orleans funk and soul, Wardell Quezerque is largely known for his production work for Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff" and King Floyd's "Groove Me." He is regarded by many historians as the "Creole Beethoven," so the fact that it took this long to release an anthology of his greatest productions is a bit puzzling. This edition of the excellent Funky Funky New Orleans series compiles 21 of Quezerque's finest underrated treasures. Productions for Quezerque's son's band, the Unemployed, set the tone immediately, and Chuck Simmons, Johnny Adams, and Tami Lynn also deliver outstanding, fiery performances. A solid compilation for a man whose recognition is far overdue. by Rob Theakston, AMG
