Legendary jazz funk ensemble Cortex headlines The Lincoln Factory on Oct 11th, alongside Adrian Younge and J.Rocc. Originating in Paris in the mid-'70s, Cortex perfected an exquisite blend of deep funk, fusion-tinged jazz and effortlessly smooth groove. Their discography found a second life as the source material for innumerable hip-hop producers, who mined their catalog for immaculate breaks, soulful instrumental passages and more. Adrian Younge joins them, offering a perfect counterpoint. His work originates in hip-hop, but this spring he released "Younge," an orchestral album that builds on a producer's workflow. It's an unequivocal masterpiece, blending nimble boom bap and Morricone-eque sound painting. Beat Junkies founder J.Rocc completes the lineup. One of the original turntablists, J.Rocc has set the standard for the form since the early days of the genre.
