KERBSIDE COLLECTION by V/A

An instrumental drum break heavy 45, with a b-boy version of 'Night in Tunisia'. Recorded with Jake Mason (Cookin on 3 burners/Freestyle Records) all on analogue gear and to tape. 300 copies only…The label say" ‘A gritty rhythm section of old school drums and fender or upright bass, alongside funky hammond and rhodes, with some sweet George Benson-ish jazz guitar licks on top.’ Comprising talented young members of various Brisbane ensembles (Chris Poulsen Trio (CP3), Jadu, Kafka, Malagueta and Golden Sounds), the band plays good time jazz, funk and traditional rare groove for listening or dancing. The sound harks back to the 60’s and 70’s Californian West Coast music of artists such as Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Chico Hamilton, Joe Sample and The Crusaders, whilst tipping its’ hat to today’s contemporaries keeping the ‘feel’ alive (Soulive, Bobby Hughes, James Taylor, Eddie Roberts & the New Mastersounds, Cookin on 3 Burners, Stance Brothers etc). The ensemble recently completed recording with Jake Mason (Cookin on 3 Burners) at the controls, with their debut 45 – a gritty 'b boy' version of Dizzy Gillespie's 'Night in Tunisia', and 'Jelly Belly', a snappy jazz funk kicker.
