This installment of Around The Web In Breakbeats brings together the groove mastery of about 50 different bands on the rise. Led by the great Bernard Purdie, "The Modern Groovemaster" features a jazzy and modernized cover version of Purdie's '67 classic "Modern Jive".


Following Pretty Purdie is the funky Blues of ex-Trampled Under Foot singer/bassist/songwriter Danielle Nicole from her debut on Concord Records, heavy Afro-Funk by Onomo Agemo, the dreamy Fusion sound of drummer/bandleader Pat Van Dyke plus more emerging artists who present a colorful spectrum of Funk for the new millennium.

The Spotify half of Around The Web In Breakbeats Vol. 7 is more hard-edged and soulful than the above with neck-snapping breaks and a collage of styles coming from a variety of bands, from the romantic swing of soul singer Dwele on "Swank" and the laid-back Funk groove of Magic In Threes to   the upbeat energy of Monophonics and The Mighty Mocambos.
