Next part on “The Originals 3” is Australian funk outfit Kerbside Collection with a damn hot funk track.
Kerbside Collection are an 'all instrumental dusty jazz funk and gritty rare grooves' ensemble from the inner suburbs of Down Under (Brisbane/Australia). The band plays good time jazz, funk and traditional rare groove for listening or dancing. ‘A gritty rhythm section of old school drums and fender or upright bass, jazzy guitar, with brass and funky organ and keys.’ The sound harks back to some of the 60’s and 70’s Californian West Coast jazz funk music of artists such as Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Chico Hamilton, Joe Sample and The Crusaders, whilst tipping its hat to today’s DIY deep funk contemporaries keeping the ‘feel’ alive, some of which will exist on this Originals #3 compilation.
After catastrophic floods ripped through their sub tropical city - Brisbane - in 2011, they piled into a 1 room studio to make their debut recordings with Cookin on 3 Burner’s Jake Mason at the dials, resulting in their first funk 45 (and now collectors item) a deep funk flip of a cult jazz standard - Dizzy Gillespie’s Night in Tunisia. After being uncovered and picked up by renown small, independent, modern funk and soul imprint, Légère Recordings (out of Hamburg), they recently released their 4th studio offering ‘Round The Corner’ (2022), their most ambitious to date, containing some responses to the last 3 + years of the pandemic climate, and receiving warm responses worldwide from the likes of Kev Beadle (UK), BBC Radio (UK), Bandcamp (US), France, Italy, Japan. They’ve also had a couple of notable releases on funk 45s label - Spasibo Records.
With the collection constantly rotating, morphing, and expanding or contracting, they delve back to the core of the combo on this groover offering for Golden Rules, with rhythm section comprised of guitar, bass, drums and funky trombone.
