Old School

The New Mastersounds have been performing live and making funky organic-sounding records for 25 years. Starting out in Leeds, UK, having initially appealed mainly to old-school DJs and vinyl collectors, they managed to build fan bases across the USA, Japan & Europe. The album comprises ten original instrumental tunes composed and performed at the keyboard player's studio in the heart of the English Peak District during a rainy week in July 2023. The tracks showcase the earthy essence of the band via it's signature vocabulary of uncomplicated funk, soul-jazz, classic R&B and reggae-infused grooves. In the UK selected tracks from the album will be featured on The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BBC 6Music. An extensive US tour is planned for Spring 2024 in support of this release.TracklistinA1. Down on the FarmA2. Boogaloo is DeadA3. Breakfast TA4. SmoothieA5. Two Fat Ladies (88)B1.
