Pee Wee Ellis and a host of African superstars are
 bringing music full circle with an innovative project called Still Black, Still Proud.
Pee Wee Ellis has been described as "The Man Who Invented Funk" for
 his work with James Brown, bringing R&B into the era of Funk, starting
 with Pee Wee's seminal 1967 song, Cold Sweat – arguably the first pure
 modern Funk song – and 25 more James Brown hits. It started a revolution in music.
Funk was the renewal of the African in African-American music, making
J ames Brown's music immensely popular, deeply felt and vastly
 influential in Africa.
So it only makes sense that Africa now comes to James Brown, with a host of African stars joining with Pee Wee Ellis in a rhythm-fueled tribute 
to the worldwide circle that Funk has become.

Jermaine Landsberger (Hammond B3 Organ)
Jim Mullen (Guitar)
Guido May (Drums)
recorded live at Studio II, Bavarian Broadcast, Munich, Germany, July 28, 2010

3. "Nuages" (Django Reinhardt)
4. "Nardis" (Miles Davis)
5. "Sno' Peas" (Phil Markowitz)

Jermaine Landsberger comes from a Sinti family and has made many albums as a jazz pianist under his own name.
Originally inspired by the sound of Django Reinhardt, later he focused on modern jazz and developed his own B3 tone in a completely innovative way. He combined his virtuoso piano style with the earthy and bluesy organ sound to create a highly explosive blend.
”Throughout the years I've had the blessing, and the pleasure, to interact with some of the greatest players of the Hammond B-3-amazing people! As always, in the evolution of any instrument, there's only a handful who are really innovative. This guy's one of them. Jermaine Landsberger is a formidable artist, a master with the flame!” --Pat Martino
Jemaine´s latest recording called "Gettin´Blazed" feat. among others Pat Martino and James Genus was released on Resonance in 2009.
