Mascot

Bassist funk master Bootsy Collins returns with a cavalcade of friends to help him celebrate the enduring music he helped invent and innovate. Safe to say Collins has never met a whiplash rhythm he didn’t like and it is certainly on display on Funk Capital as the bassist swoops downtown with Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Chuck D ( “Hip Hop @ Funk U” ), Jimi Hendrix (!) ( “Mirrors Tell Lies” ), actor Samuel L. Jackson ( “After These Messages” ), Buckethead ( “Minds Under Construction” ) and George Clinton ( “Garry Shider Tribute” ), to name but a funky few. Collins delivers a fine package of consistently invigorating tunes and samples that get your ass up and dancing. Does one expect anything less from the man?
