12,00

In the spring of 2011 a new instrumental funk sound hit everybody’s ears. Amsterdam’s seven-piece outfit The Jig released its first album: Brooklyn Blowout. Recorded in the Grand Street Recording Studios in New York, the album breathes the cosmopolitan and yet warmly human atmosphere of Brooklyn, combined with true Amsterdam swagger. Elements of afrobeat, soul, rhythm ‘n’ blues and jazz are squeezed into fresh funk with a rock ‘n’ roll attitude. The band members state: The Jig is not ‘funky’, The Jig is FUNK!

(Sweat In The)Buttcrack

The Jig creates a new instrumental funksound with elements of afrobeat, soul, rhythm ‘n’ blues and a fresh rock ‘n’ roll attitude. Love for uncut funk from heroes like The Meters and Bootsy Collins brought these seven musicians from diverse backgrounds together. Their compositions originate during underground sessions in Amsterdam where the three horns and rhythm section including Hammond organ push each other into catching melodies and danceable grooves. In 2011, The Jig traded its Amsterdam basement for one in Brooklyn, New York to record its first full album. Brooklyn Blowout breathes the cosmopolitan and yet warmly human atmosphere of Brooklyn, combined with true Amsterdam swagger. The bandmembers state: The Jig is not ‘funky’, The Jig is FUNK!
