Jungle Funk is the eponymously titled debut album of Jungle Funk, released in 1998 by ESC Records.[2][3] Capturing a live collaboration between musicians Will Calhoun, Vinx de Jon Parette and Doug Wimbish, the material comprising the album was recorded over the course of two days in April 1998 at Conrad Sohm, Austria. It combined the hard funk of Living Colour with the more technology based sampling approach of Tackhead.[4]
