(VINTAGE FUNK) Funk's popularity has had its dips and dives since James Brown conceived it in the '60s, but the world's finest party/sex music is enjoying a robust revival among purists like the Daptone Records stable and L.A.'s Breakestra. A large collective led by Miles Tackett, Breakestra resurrect the tumescent, highly torqued dance music that the JB's, Meters, Sly Stone, et al. laid down to help mortals get laid.
