2026 Repress, Uncolored Virgin VinylFunky Stuff is the 1975 album by Soul Media, the Japanese jazz-rock unit led by saxophonist Jiro Inagaki. Inagaki has said he "played black funk " on this record: the group's explosive jazz-rock foundation is fused with the stickiness, elasticity, and physicality of black music, polished to a high sheen by the arrangements of Hiromasa Suzuki. Alongside the driving "Painted Paradise" and the mellow "Breeze," the set carries a low-slung, razor-sharp cover of Kool & The Gang's "Funky Stuff." The album is now regarded as a definitive Japanese jazz-funk classic and remains in constant demand from listeners around the world.This pressing is Nippon Columbia's 2026 repress on uncolored virgin vinyl (catalog HMJY-237), distributed in the US by Light in the Attic, street date September 4, 2026.Tracklist Painted Paradise Funky Motion Breeze Scratch Funky Stuff One for Jiro Gentle Wave Four Up Show more
