The Jig brings raw, uncut instrumental funk. Three cool horns and an ultra tight rhythm section with Hammond organ create a crispy funk sound inspired by heroes like The Meters and Bootsy Collins. Vintage, with style and a contemporary urge. The band plays almost exclusively their own material. Catchy, soulful, deep, funky. Some of their songs are already known as underground-dancefloor-hits. Sweat in the buttcrack, sir!
