Listening style 2

Question 1: Describe the mixing and panning in this track. (Which instruments are prominent and which are in the background; which are central, which are left and which are right?) Make some suggestions about why the track has been mixed and panned in this manner. 

Question 2: Is this track a funk track? What musical / sonic components of the track suggest that it is and which suggest that it is not?

Question 1: In the this track, the organ is panned on the right, the bass is in the central and it's also prominent, The trumpets are also slightly panned on right and throughout the track the piano pans on the left at the end.
The reason why this track wasm ixed this way is because instruments needed space so that different things can happen on each ear. This was a good idea because this would mean that everything wouldn't have to sound in the middle which would make the instruments clashed together.

Question 2: This track is a funk track because of the way the bass is presented, the bass is groovy and jumpy. It's not dead on straight... Also the drum beat makes it funk because the drum beat clashes a bit with the bass and it goes along together. The instruments that doesn't make the track funk is the Organ, which makes the track less funk and more soul-ful/church like. If I compared this track to a James brown track, there would be a difference. This is because some of James Browns track are more of a upbeat type of track.
