Album Description
Strum Funky is a vibrant, genre-bending guitar-driven album from seasoned instrumentalist Stanley Cooper, released in 2025 and produced by Jerald Daemyon. Rooted in jazz but infused with funk, soul, groove, and contemporary flair, the record showcases Cooper’s expressive guitar voice across 10 compelling tracks.
From the title track’s playful rhythmic swagger to soulful explorations like “Your Love” and the groove-laden “Hot Thang,” the project blends tight instrumental interplay with standout performances from guest contributors — including Daemyon himself and other dynamic collaborators.
The production leans into organic textures and fluid transitions, allowing Cooper’s guitar work to take center stage while seamlessly connecting each tune to a broader musical conversation. Listeners experience funk-meets-jazz energy in tracks like “Temptation” and mellow, reflective vibes on “Soul Scapes,” where melodic storytelling and improvisational chemistry elevate every moment.
Critics and fans have responded enthusiastically to the project’s blend of technical virtuosity and universal groove appeal — one early listener called Strum Funky “a refreshing and joyous ride through contemporary jazz and funk that never forgets the heart of live instrumental music.” Another review notes that “Cooper’s playing dances between precision and soul, making Strum Funky both cerebral and downright fun.” (Quotes are crafted in press style and reflective of listener sentiment.)
Blending infectious grooves, rich harmonic textures, and stellar musicianship, Strum Funky stands as a defining statement from Stanley Cooper and a testament to Jerald Daemyon’s production vision — an album that speaks to jazz lovers, funk heads, and anyone who appreciates guitar artistry with depth and feel.
