Cool Steady and Easy does not have the acrobatics of Make 'Em Like Itor the world music flourishes of
In the Buzz Bag

But is a great funk album by Brooklyn Funk Essentials. Here, the supercollective mines a steady groove and makes some extremely satisfying urban funk.

This is a slow simmer and not a cooker, but still, this is a great record by one of the best bands around

A Funky Journey And Then Some

Reviewed by J. Laster, 2006-07-21

Cool and Steady and Easy is a masterpiece. It is a masterpiece of funk done right. As always, the Brooklyn Funk Essentials are grooving and are as funky as they wanna be and then some. This cd proves it!
Providing a real smooth ride from start to finish without any detours, every song on this disc is kickin'.
Personally I was hooked on the first listen. I am extremely pleased to have this music as a part of my collection/library.
If you enjoy a righteous mix of funk, jazz, acid-jazz, R & B, hip-hop, and reggae with a dash of salsa, then get this cd. Put the player on repeat, and take the journey! You will certainly enjoy the ride.
5 stars and then some!

Funk-a-licious

An absolute must for fans of funk and jazz fusion. The album melds together R&B, jazz, salsa and rap - with the tracks laid against the sounds of urban life - for a deliciously funky package. Highly recommend to those who enjoy Liquid Soul and The Brand New Heavies - of this genre, this is my personal favorite!

Brooklyn Funk Essentials Rule!

Hey, let me just say this, if you haven't purchased this CD yet just go on and put it in your shopping cart right now!!! BFE's "Cool and Steady and Easy" CD hands the listener an eclectic offering of a acid-jazz-funk-soul-hip/hop mixture that totally succeeds and it is no doubt as you listen to each track that these folks had nothing but absolute fun putting this CD together! It sounds that good!!!

First introduced to BFE's funky, hard driving music-style while frantically driving a friend to the airport and in the frenzy of almost missing her flight, I later found myself the proud new owner of one of the best mixtures of acid-jazz-funk-soul-hip/hop influenced music that ever hit my ears!

Totally danceable, every track will get your feet moving; trust me, its totally impossible and absolutely irresistible trying to remain seated and simply listen to this jazz-funk-soul-hip/hop offering! If this CD doesn't find a permanent place in your CD player . . . well, I can't find the words right now except that it should, so what are you waiting for, click this CD into your shopping cart and dance, dance, dance and enjoy the music! Oh, and don't worry, I couldn't totally dis' my friend, besides, she missed this CD immediately once she settled in so I brought her a new copy!

the most played disc I've ever bought

I completely agree w/ the other reviewers kudos for BFE and this CD. I also bought it on a whim while living in NYC and looking to broaden my musical horizons. It's f-ing brilliant and never fails to put me in a great mood. Musically, it's inventive, smart, well-written, well-produced. It's THE BEST cd for background music at a party as well. People always inquire about it...
