The Jig

October 26 - November 3, 2010

October 26   at Nublu, New York
November 2 at Kenny Castaways, New York
November 3 at Fontana's, New York

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.

Fret Magazine: "Chrystal clear and groovy, with a nicely bouncing horn section taking over control."

LiveXS Magazine: "The Jig is a cool asset on every festival. Jit it!"
