Released in 2007,
Place 54 is the third effort from
Hocus Pocus, and this time, it’s all about paying tribute to a genre that inspired the French hip-hop crew,
Funk. The electronic/acoustic group is joined by flutist Magik Malik and trombonist
Fred Wesley for an album where half the tracks were recorded live. Usual collaborators
the Procussions also appear. ~ David Jeffries
