Zigaboo Modeliste, is pleased to present the release of his CD, titled ZIGABOO.COM written, produced, and published on his own label, JZM Records. His CD illustrates his songwriting ability, vocals and his producing talents, not to mention his unsurpassed skill on the skins.

Among the great guests featured on Zigaboo.com is the other piston in the Meters rhythm engine, bassist George Porter Jr. What better to highlight their 20-year reunion than a funky instrumental number entitled "Zig Me." Another special guest, the great Nick Daniels (formally of the Neville Brothers and the Wild Magnolias) lends his prodigious voice to "Sing Me A Song" and our hit song "Standin' in your Stuff."

To round out the funk attack, Zigaboo has recruited a vast array of talented musicians from New Orleans, LA and the Bay Area of California. An All Star cast of some of New Orleans' finest and funkiest appear, including Renard Poche on guitar from Dr. John's Band, David Torkanowsky on keyboards from Astral Project, Jon Cleary on Keyboards from Bonnie Raitt's Band. The Bay area musicians include the talented Ray Obiedo, Norbert Stachel on Sax from Tower of Power, John Allair on keyboards of Van Morrison and of course, Zigaboo's California Band "The New Aahkesstra," Keyboardist, Dale Ockerman (formally of the Doobie Brothers), Chris Rossbach on guitar and long time veteran bassist Jerome "The Rock" Hammond.

The album features his smashing new single, "Funky Nasty Cigarettes." It all adds up to an offering that will keep funk freaks flying and turntableists spinning on their heads. Zigaboo.com will have you "Standing in Your Stuff" so you can "Shake What you Got." With songs like these, it is a guarantee that you are "Gonna Have a Party"
