Their debut album, Cool and Steady and Easy, released in 1994, featured hits like their rendition of Pharoah Sanders' "The Creator Has a Master Plan." Over the years, the collective saw lineup changes and released albums like In the Buzz Bag (1998), Make 'Em Like It (2000), Watcha Playin' (2008), and Funk Ain't Ova (2015) following their return to the Dorado label.

Brooklyn Funk Essentials' multicultural blend of acid jazz brought together a diverse array of talents, including singers Joi Cardwell and Stephanie McKay, alongside instrumentalists like trumpeter Bob Brachmann and saxophonist Maceo Parker. The group's fusion of various musical influences and styles has solidified their place as a pioneering force in the independent music scene, captivating audiences with their infectious grooves and dynamic performances.
