Die Acid Jazz Legenden Brooklyn Funk Essentials veröffentlichten heute ihr 7. Album „Intuition“. Happy Releaseday!

Das Album ist der erste Longplayer seit dem sechsten Album „Stay Good“ im Jahr 2019. Die Brooklyn Funk Essentials präsentieren ihren neuen Longplayer mit acht Tracks voller entspannter Grooves und Arrangements, die immer noch cool, stabil und einfach sind. Alison Limerick (Gesang), Desmond Foster (Gitarre, Gesang), Ebba Âsman (Posaune, Backing Vocals), Hux Nettermalm (Schlagzeug, Percussion), Kristoffer Wallman (Keyboards, Vibraphon und Synthesizer) und Bandleader Lati Kronlund (Bass, Gitarren, Keyboards und Produzent) liefern ein selbstbewusstes und lebendiges Set an Eigenkompositionen.

„The organic approach is part of a confidence in our own groove and sound. We don’t need technology to sound good. BFE’s identity is in the way we play and the songs we write. This trust is the basis for the intuition that we experience when we are playing together. To let the music lead the way and not technology. I feel like I used to hide behind computers and drum machines, but 30 years in, we just jam until we feel the groove and then we record it. Old school. We get there almost instantly with no effort – just flow. In the time since we started BFE, so many musical trends have come and gone. So many sounds that were the ‚hot new thing‘ are now old hat. We know that the music that inspires us to play is still stuff like classic Isley Brothers, Grace Jones, Sly Stone, Patrice Rushen and Roy Ayers…that’s where we’re coming from and we stay true to that.”
