Die beste Funk Unit aller Zeiten! „Teamwork“ ist Party-Stimmung pur. Locker-lässig zirkulieren die Töne durch die Reihen, brillante Bläsersätze wechseln ab mit ekstatischen Solos, tanzbare Beats und fulminante Tempoverschärfung, cooler Gesang und starke Melodien, aber auch Zeit für Eleganz und den innigen Klammerblues.

Product Information

This might well be the best Funk Unit that Nils Landgren has had gathered around him since 2010: technically outstanding, this is a group of team players who combine well with a great groove connection. James Brown meets Parliament meets Crusaders meets Funk Unit: that's one way you could describe the musical concept on "Teamwork". It is pure party feeling, the notes whirl coolly through the ranks, superb horn sets alternate with ecstatic solos, dance beats, smooth vocals and strong melodies, but there is also time for elegance and heartfelt blues. "Teamwork" is all that and then some, played by a dream team of sweat-inducing funk workers with soul in their blood."I felt that Funk Unit had so much more to give," recalls team captain Landgren, whose funk formation still shows no signs of fatigue even after...
