Nils Landgren Funk Unit

Description:

The long-awaited new release from Nils Rundgren's main band, "Funk Unit"! Nils Lundgren is not only a trombonist, but also an arranger and a singer. His talent is recognized not only in Sweden but also in the world. The history of Nils Lundgren's work is the history of ACT. This year, 2017, ACT is celebrating its 25th anniversary, but the Funk Unit was launched in 1994. The label's president, Sigi Loch, liked the band from the first time he heard them and immediately named them "Funk Unit. In this sense, the band has been together with the label for more than 20 years! And now, more than 20 years later! This album is another example of Funk Unit! This album is another example of Funk Unit's great sound. The groove-filled beats, crisp horn arrangements, edgy guitars, and funky and mellow vocals are featured on each song! The sound is steadfast and stable, but at the same time, it drives a spontaneous impulse that naturally shakes the bodies of listeners and audiences and engulfs them in the world of music. In their past performances in Japan, the band has often made shy Japanese audiences stand up and dance, and this, more than anything, symbolizes the power of the music, and this appeal is still present in this album.This time, the core unit members include Detroit Funk legends Ray Parker, Randy Brecker, and Tim Hagans. The members play Marvin Gaye's "Rocking' after Midnight" on this album, which is a highlight, but there are also laid-back, pleasant numbers by Hancock and Alan Toussaint, as well as originals by Nils and the other members of the band, A must-listen! The sound around M8-9, in particular, is the funk sound of Nils, who used to feature Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley. In a slightly condescending way, this area is aptly described as the Swedish JB's. Incidentally, Nils was also a member of Joe Sample's band for a while and toured with the Crusaders, and even with such members, he still managed to catch the audience's attention with his spectacular performance.
