"Funk is my Religion...
... is the band's eleventh album - the album title says it all!
... is the band's eleventh album - the album title says it all!
Landgren and his Norsemen bring to their art a passion, intensity and freshness that has not changed since the beginning.
For more than 25 years, jazz-funk has been the driving force behind Landgren.
In 1994, when Nils Landgren founded his Funk Unit, some people wondered whether Swedish funk was really necessary. After twenty-seven years, ten albums and several hundred concerts, the question has been answered: finding the most fiery version of this music, a sound that is inextricably linked to soul, rhythm and blues and jazz, and whose instruments - and voices too - have an irresistible rhythmic urgency, is definitely the band to see and hear. And if you look back to the pioneers, godfathers and greats of the funk world - Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley, the key players behind James Brown, Ray Parker Jr. or Joe Sample of the Crusaders. - so there's no need to look any further: every one of them has played with the Funk Unit.
This veritable elixir of life produces the bubbling energy, groove and joy that can be heard and felt in every note of music.
The band's delightfully easygoing and relaxed vibe directly affects the audience. With their lively funk rhythms, blazing horns, fresh vocals and convincing melodies, a new chapter for the Nils Landgren Funk Unit has just begun.
