Funkdawgs first internet JF band!

The world's first internet jazz-fusion band

About Me

Funkdawgs (fan'kdaags) n. US slang.
1. A virtual band comprised of talented musicians from planet Earth that have found a common groove and freedom to create in the jazz-funk/fusion scene.
2. Jazz musicians that collaborate in the virtual realm by sending recorded wave files through cyberspace via the internet to develop infectious instrumental compositions.
3. Contemporary musicians who feel a heavy jazz-funk vibe, occupy the same creative headspace and spend considerable late hours in home-based recording studios..
Funkdawgs produce music exclusively via the internet and record for many musicians, magazines and movie productions around the world.
Online band since 2000, has recorded over then 100 tunes.
Funkdawgs is absolutely first cyber band on the Planet in the jazz fusion scene with all these credits, publications, history and references…
many musicians from all around the world keep funkdawgs band as reference for their future music internet projects considering this band as the forerunner of a future music production way (check out music forums on the web)…
without frontiers, oceans, mountains or deserts for a uniquely way of making music.
