Brooklyn Funk Essentials’ debut album Cool And Steady And Easy - the album that defined the acid jazz movement - is 30 years old. And to mark the occasion, the band has put together a single, re-recording and reimagining Blow Your Brains out and Brooklyn Recycles, with the BFE live band that’s still touring today.
To get the story of the album and find out more about his role in launching both hip hop AND house music into the world, we spoke with legendary producer Arthur Baker and BFE collaborator, writer and producer Lati Kronlund - the creator of house anthem Where Love Lives with BFE vocalist Alison Limerick.
