Look‐Ka Py Py
by The Meters
The 690th greatest album of all time
Look-Ka Py Py, credited to New Orleans group The Meters and dated 1970, is a compact set of rhythm-driven instrumentals that blend funk, jazz, and soul. The album emphasizes tight, interlocking grooves built from syncopated guitar, lean organ lines, steady bass and crisp drumming, with sparse vocal touches; its lean arrangements and pocketed rhythms exemplify the band’s New Orleans-informed approach to early funk.
