THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS 『Live At La Cova』 LP

★First pressing limited edition
★With obi
★First time on LP

The New Mastersounds, the most important band in the UK jazz-funk scene, have finally released their acclaimed 2005 live album "Live At La Cova" on LP for the first time! This highly anticipated analog release is a superb live album that captures the heat of the venue, showcasing performances that surpass their studio work with an abundance of jam-like energy!

This album, which packages a live performance by the solid quartet of Eddie Roberts (Gt), Simon Allen (Dr), Pete Shand (Ba), and Bob Birch (Org), with Sam Bell (Per) as a guest, is a masterpiece that delivers groove and intensity several notches above their studio albums. Funk, a genre that has many classic live albums from legends like King Curtis and James Brown, has in this album a landmark in 2000s jazz-funk that is arguably on par with those masterworks. In addition to original songs that are still live staples, such as "Land Of Nod" and "The Minx," the arrangement sense shown in covers like "Duffin' Round" and "Fire Eater" is also outstanding. The intense solos from the members, who play much longer versions than the original songs in this live setting, are another highlight. If you like NMS, or rather, if you like jazz-funk, this is an analog record you must own!
