"Troupeau Bleu" is the 1st and most famous album which had been recorded by the French Jazz-Funk band legend, Cortex. The obscure French jazz group that's been a favorite of funky collectors for years! In 1974, Alain Mion, Alain Gandolfi & Jeff Huttner formed the mythical band, Cortex, who then recorded several LPs, including the legendary "Troupeau Bleu". The album, recorded in 2 days in july 1975, is a real musical U.F.O, an unclassifiable record, a mixing of thousand flavours, the kind of records you will discover listening after listening. The result is a stunning electric groove with a feeling that's really fresh, nice and warm, and funky in all the right parts!

The Best-Of album from the French Jazz-Funk band Cortex. A journey through their years on the Esperance Label.

Great jazz-funk album by famous 70s French combo Cortex. Recorded in 1979, but pressed in 2006 by Underdog Records. Unrealised seventies stuff propulsed by Alain Mion and Alain Gandolfi, lead members of Cortex.

"Volume 2" is the second and rarest album recorded by the legendary Cortex, the obscure French jazz and funk group that's been a favorite of collectors for years. It really is an absolutely killer album, filled with dope jazz-funk tracks. Unlike their first album, it's all instrumental (save for a few chants on "Poxa"), and it leans even more heavily on the groove side, in a funky Blaxploitation kind of way. The group's got a strong fusion-driven groove on this set - with plenty of tight drumming, hard riffing, and spacey keyboards that give the tunes a nicely soulful finish. The best tracks are actually the mellower ones, which have a nice use of space and sound - creating strong little patterns of groove that stand out from the rest of the tracks.
