BROOKLYN FUNK ESSENTIALS

For them, music should lead the way, not technology.

They stood out as a bold and creative project in the way they blend soul, hip-hop, jazz, house, spoken word, and funk.

What sets them apart is the way they play, the compositions they create, and the high level of funk production.

Throughout a career spanning more than three decades, seven studio albums, and international tours, the band that formed in New York in the 1990s has generated excitement around the world.

Career highlights include Jazz à Vienne (France), Central Park SummerStage (New York, USA), Cemil Topuzlu Open Air Theatre (Istanbul, Turkey), Festival Vieilles Charrues (France), Prospect Park (Brooklyn, USA), Opera Garnier (Monaco), Bodrum Amphitheater (Turkey), Nice Jazz Festival (France), Goa Open Drive Festival (India), Mosaic Festival (Singapore), and regular performances at venues such as Ronnie Scott's (London), New Morning (Paris), S.O.B.'s (New York), Blue Note (Milan), Babylon (Istanbul), and The Jazz Café (London).

In 2016, British house legend Alison Limerick became the band's new vocalist, a role she shares with Desmond Foste. Hux Nettermalm plays drums, with band leader Lati Kronlund on bass and Kristoffer Wallman on keyboards. The horn section is led by young Swedish trombonist Ebba Åsman, alongside saxophonist Loïc Gayot.
