I'll follow the Deep Funk thread from yesterday's entry in this game of musical association.  Traveling down to the bottom of the globe, the Bamboos serve up deep funk in Australia from their home base in Melbourne.  (Band website here, MySpace page here.)  Their special ingredient is the flute playing of Bruce Sandell, pushed to the fore in "The Bamboos Theme" from Rawville:

Bamboos guitarist Lance Ferguson is also a member of the new funky trio Cookin' on 3 Burners, whose album Baked, Broiled, and Fried is out on the fabulous Freestyle Records label.  Now I am left with a dilemma about where to go next: more deep funk around the world, another band with a self-titled theme song, or another song that sounds like this one.  (Or is that a trilemma?)  I will probably resolve it using the time-honored "whichever one I find first" method.  Not that it matters, 'cause it's all good.
