One of the tightest and most grooving bands ever to come out of New Orleans (and in the Crescent City, that's no small statement), the Funky Meters have been laying down a laid back but potent second-line rhythm since the late '60s, and have long been a favorite of musical aficionados and beat collectors alike. Funky Meters: Live From the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival records a superb set that the band played at the 2000 edition of the annual music festival, which includes the songs "Cissy Strut," "Look-Ka Py Py," "Africa," "Ain't No Use," "Saturday Night Fish Fry," and more.
