PICK OF THE WEEK: The New Mastersounds – Thurs, Fri, Sat, January 17th, 18th, 19th – Various Front Range Venues

Why You Should Go: Inspired by the 70’s funk and groove of Jimmy McGriff, Groove Holmes, and The Meters, the music of The New Mastersounds is a tight mix of Jazz and Funk that comes to life in the hands of these talented players.

While there is ample evidence of the band member’s fondness for Jazz in their sound, the groove that is laid down by the rhythm section of Pete Shand and Simon Allen is what holds the whole thing together and keeps the wheels on when guitar phenom Eddie Roberts stretches out in Jazz laced solos.

Though they are based in Leeds, England the band claims that the US is the most promising market for their music. The extended, danceable deep funk and soul jams that this band kicks out are sure to get the whole room moving and the party going full strength.

The last time The New Mastersounds came through Denver, they opened up for Mofro at The Ogden and by many accounts they stole the show. Look for them to extend their set well into the early morning hours this time and reward all those fans willing to groove with them.

Note: There has been some confusion as to whether the bands Denver gig will be at Cervantes or Quixotes but either way, head up to 25th and Welton if your Friday night is begging for an infusion of Funk!
