Summary: Presenting a breath of fresh air on the nu jazz scene. Dawgma, the exciting, much-awaited second release from the Funkdawgs delivers 14 new tracks that have come together in the true spirit of musical collaboration. Because the band doesn't really exist; except in the 'virtual realm'. In fact, most of the Funkdawgs members have never met face-to-face. The Funkdawgs are five highly-talented, innovative jazz musicians who have gained years of experience, both in the studio and on stage, and still feel the need to create from their various home studios around the planet. Although from different cities in different countries (United States, Canada and Italy), they definitely feel the same groove and passion for jazz-funk. The original instrumental material they create has many familiar influences that surface in their compositions. It's an exploration that wouldn't have been possible without today's advanced digital recording and Internet technologies. All the compositions on Dawgma have been recorded in the virtual studios of each musician, with tracks being exchanged across cyberspace and assembled in digital software on the Funkdawgs' studio computers. Feel the contemporary nu-jazz directions that Dawgma delivers. Influences range from funk to blues to R & B to fusion to Latin jazz to acid. It's a heady mixture of rhythms and melodies that breathe new energy into today's world jazz scene. Dawgma is available by order only through CDBABY.COM at www.cdbaby.com/funkdawgs2 or at www.funkdawgs.com
