Lucky Brown’s Funkways

Lucky Brown is the muse and stage persona of American composer, Joel Ricci, who conducts various groups of musicians drawn from his Westsound Collective in a dynamic and ever-changing live show.   Via his dozens of self-produced deep funk vinyl singles released in Europe over the past decade, he has been hailed by music mavens worldwide as a deep funk pioneer.

Funkways is an original rhythmic endeavor kicking up dust at the crossroads of primitive funk and vernacular jazz. Organized by composer Lucky Brown, Funkways’ mission is to commemorate, celebrate, and consecrate true soul music as played from the heart, and to engender cultural health by promoting greater neighborhood social cohesion.
