�Volume 2� is the 2nd and rarest album which had been recorded by the French Jazz-Funk band legend, Cortex. The obscure French jazz group that's been a favorite of funky collectors for years!

Reissued last in 2002 by Follow Me Records, it�s now back in stock in a final limited repressing of 500 copies, reissued by Trad Vibe Records under official license from Alain Mion.
It really is another absolute killer album of dope Jazz-Funk tracks! Unlike their first album it's all instrumental (save for a few chants on "Poxa") and lean even more heavily on the groove side, in a funky Blaxpoitation kind of way. The group's got a strong fusion-driven groove on this set � with plenty of tight drumming, hard riffing, and spacey keyboards that give the tunes a nicely soulful finish.
The best tracks are actually the mellower ones, which have a nice use of space and sound � creating strong little patterns of groove that stand out from the rest of the tracks.

Lots of work on Fender Rhodes, mini korg, Hammond, and clavinette � and titles include "Poxa", "Datura", "Regina", "Mister J", "Efficace Swing", "Oh Lord", and "Devil's Dance".
