THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS – “This is What We Do”
3 on the B, 2005
Tight old-school funk from Britain, with healthy dollops of soul-jazz and a little blues mixed in. It’s all instrumentals and all live (no samplers or turntables required, thank you), with a solid 60s/70s sound that’ll make you think of The Meters. The core quartet is guitar/keys/bass/drums, but Karl Denson adds some sax licks on #4, and Sam Bell lays down a percussion carpet on 3 & 9. A rollicking good time!
FO’S PICKS: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12
1. 3:51 – lively wah-wah Afro-funk
2. 4:15 – uptempo soul strut
3. 3:33 – thick latin percussion
4. 2:58 – fast & rolling, good sax
5. 7:48 – tough shell, tender center
6. 3:00 – hot go-go w/organ solo
7. 4:53 – hip-shakin’ boogaloo
8. 3:43 – relaxed soul-march
9. 4:08 – fast soul jangle w/conga
10. 2:51 – lowdown alley groove
11. 3:13 – shake w/good changes
12. 3:38 – perky chicken-like riff
