Here's what jazz funk aficionado RamBro at the Incognito forum said about the Funkdawgs and Borderless (this is a fabulous Internet hot spot in the fusion world with many knowledgeable contributors):
1st Impressions....Funkdawgs - Borderless Funkdawgs? Who dey, you ask yourselves? Well, my main Canuck Stephen...yup, that one in Canada..tells me a few months ago about a concept that was coming together...like-minded musicians, worlds apart geographically, that were going to do a little project... via the internet!!! Ok, doable I thought...knock out a little EP with some easy-going ditties on it, everyone throwing in their part, mix it down and burn it to a disc. WELL, was I ever in for a rude awakening!
I dutifully read Stephen's accompanying letter (handwritten no less...I'm impressed), instructing me to listen when I know I'm not going to interrupted (shoo! I interrupt my own damn self, so I knew this was going to be tough...being honest, I thought I'd just listen to a track or two and then 'track' my way throuh whatever was left. So, I take the CD out of the package...shit! it's got a plastic wrap on it a la CD's you buy in the store...woooah, this could be serious (how I get that from a plastic wrapper I'll never know, but then, that's why I'm me, right!?...right!). On to the music.
First off there
