BIG BOSS MAN
There must be something in the water in the UK, that enables so many fine and funky, Hammond-organ led, beat-combos to flourish. The James Taylor Quartet and The New Mastersounds, are probably the best known – but BIG BOSS MAN have also been producing excellent records for the last twelve years. Nasser Bouzida, Trevor Harding and Scott Milsom played at London’s legendary Blow Up club early in 1999, and made such an impression that they were immediately signed to the label. Since then they have released three albums and countless singles, some of which have made a very big impression; “Party 7” was featured in FIFA’s 2006 World Cup Campaign. They have remixed Paul Weller’s Top 20 hit “The Bottle”, and provided the soundtrack for (and starred in), the short film “Sweet”, a comedy by The Mighty Boosh duo Julian Barrett and Noel Fielding. Their latest album “Full English Beat Breakfast”, was released in September on Blow Up, to great acclaim.
BIG BOSS MAN have brought their own inimitable brew, of 60s / 70s influenced funk, rhythm’n’blues, latin soul, boogaloo and organ-driven grooves to Spain many times, and earned themselves a loyal and devoted following in the process – so this should be a night for some serious “getting-down”.
