Movie Reviews of Funky Meters - Live From The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
Movie Review: Funky, solid and right on. Yet another GOOD live DVD!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anybody who knows anything about funk music knows the Meters. The original line-up is lauded as the best funk band ever by a lot of people. Just listen to the original recording of Cissy Strut and you'll see what I mean; Zigaboo Modeliste is one of the funkiest drummers to ever hold a pair of sticks. This DVD captures the updated version of the band (The Funky Meters) with Russell Batiste on drums and Brian Stoltz on guitar at the 2000 New Orleans Jazz Festival. From start to finish it's an incredible show. Russell Batiste is just as funky as "Zig" but with the control of David Garibaldi and chops of Will Kennedy. He's one of the best new drummers around and this set showcases that. His performance on "Little Old Money Maker" is worth the price of admission alone but when you add in George Porter Jr., Art Neville, and Brian Stoltz... all you have to do is just mention those names and you can expect good things but when you add to that the incredible sound and video quality and good editing you get a "must see" DVD.
