Cortex's 1977 album Vol. 2 stands as a quintessential example of French jazz-funk, merging intricate instrumentation with a distinctive visual identity that reflects the tone of the era. Released under the Jazz Lab label, the album showcases the band's evolution from their debut Troupeau Bleu, embracing a more groove-centric approach. The cover art, featuring a surreal, sculptural depiction of the band's name, encapsulates the fusion of traditional jazz elements with contemporary funk influences. The surreal representation of the band's name suggests a departure from conventional norms, aligning with the experimental nature of the music. This visual representation serves as a bridge between the auditory experience and the cultural context of 1970s France, a period marked by a blend of tradition and innovation.
