The New Mastersounds:
The New Mastersounds are a world-class, world renowned,
instrumental funk band with 7 years of live performing,
5 full-length album releases and 21 seven-inch single releases
under their belt.  The line-up: Eddie Roberts (guitar & tambourine),
Pete Shand (bass), Simon Allen (drums), Joe Tatton (Hammond & Rhodes),
and Rob Lavers (sax & flute). All five of them met in Leeds, UK, and,
as a BBC reviewer says, "NMS may produce some confusion: how
can a collection of (mostly) pasty-faced Northerners produce with
such authority the dusty funk grooves of the early 70s? It doesn't matter -
they just do." As a band, and as individuals, they have since clocked up
collaborations with an impressive array of musicians DJs and producers, including:
Lou Donaldson (Blue Note), Corinne Bailey Rae (EMI), Quantic (Tru Thoughts),
Carleen Anderson (Young Disciples / Brand New Heavies),
Keb Darge & Kenny Dope (Kay Dee Records), John Arnold (Ubiquity),
Mr Scruff (Ninja Tune), Snowboy (Ubiquity), Fred Everything (2020vision),
Andy Smith (Portishead), James Taylor (JTQ), LSK (Faithless),
and Karl Denson (Lenny Kravitz / Greyboy AllStars)
