Philasophik - Philasophik (2016)


Label: Self Released
Source: Cdbaby
Genre: Jazz-Funk


Philasophik is the brainchild of guitarist Dave Manley and keyboardist Pete Kuzma. The group formed in the fertile environment of the early 2000 Philadelphia Neo-Soul/Jazz scene. Both Dave and Pete wrote recorded and toured with artists including: DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jill Scott, Musiq Soul-Child, Dave Chappelle, Bilal, Kindred the Family Soul, Jeff Bradshaw, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Wiz Khalifa, Raheem Devaughn and more. The group also included the talents of the incredible, then 19 year 0ld, Eric Boots Green on drums. This record was originally recorded the summer of 2005 but never released, until now!! This band was ahead of the curve as far as the jazz funk hip hop soul mash up that has become regular fixture on the music scene with bands like Snarky Puppy, Lettuce and The Funky Knuckles.
