CONAN celebrated funk on February 10 when the show brought in jazz-funk groove machine Rock Candy Funk Party for their late-night television debut. With a music-loving, guitar-playing host, CONAN is known for its impeccable musical tastes and with RCFP's reboot of classic '70s/'80s jazz-funk, brought the genre to the forefront with their song "Octopus-E". Powered by a lineup of world-renowned players -album producer Tal Bergman (drums), Joe Bonamassa (guitar), Ron DeJesus (guitar), Mike Merritt (bass), Renato Neto (keys), and Daniel Sadownick (percussion)- the band came together for the sheer fun of making music, and a mutual love of genre-blurring grooves.
For over 40 years Los Angeles' The Baked Potato has hosted the who's who of the jazz world and from the 6th to the 8th of February it welcomed back Rock Candy Funk Party to perform 6 phenomenal sold out shows.
On February 25, RCFP will follow up last year's debut album We Want Groove with Rock Candy Funk Party Takes New York - Live At The Iridium - a live DVD/Blu-ray package which includes a 30-minute documentary and an exclusive live companion double CD featuring over 100 minutes of music, all filmed and recorded over 3 nights at the legendary Iridium Jazz Club in New York City.
