Funky Butt is a Norwegian jazz band inspired by New Orleans Jazz. About their music it is said: «It´s a funky brass band with piano added, offering groovy, New Orleans music with a nordic perspective. It is a melting pot of traditional jazz, Caribbean influences, tango, hard bop and contemporary grooves. It embraces lyrical beauty and fresh phrasing. It involves strong soloing and respectful collective playing.[1]
