The New Mastersounds - Masterology The Pioneers Of New British Funk

Review by Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez

Masterology: The Pioneers of New British Funk, the latest album by New Mastersounds, is a must-have for any funk enthusiast. The album features a collection of the band's greatest hits, as well as some previously unreleased tracks that showcase their unique blend of jazz, funk, and soul.

The album starts off strong with the upbeat and funky "One Note Brown," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight instrumentation and groovy rhythms are immediately apparent, and the listener is drawn in by their infectious energy.

As the album progresses, the listener is treated to a variety of funk-infused tracks, each with their own distinct flavor. "Give Me a Minute" is a slower, more soulful number, while "This Ain't Work" is a high-energy, danceable tune that will get anyone moving.

The standout track on the album, however, is "Nervous," which features a guest appearance by saxophonist and jazz legend Lou Donaldson. The track is a masterclass in funk and jazz fusion, with Donaldson's soaring saxophone solos complementing the band's tight grooves perfectly.
