bassAbout
The Loire Funk All Stars came together on a summer school in the Loire region of France run by Tristan, the drummer in the group. The members all share a nostalgic passion for the sounds and grooves of the late 70’s, early 80’s heyday of funk and fusion. The set includes classic Herbie Hancock compositions 4am and Actual Proof, John Scofield tunes from the classic Blue Matter album of 1986 and various compositions by Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul. Expect solid funk grooves from the bass and drums team of Flo Moore and Tristan Mailliot, providing the underpinning for the amazing soloing skills of Gareth Lockrane, Mike Gorman and Mark Ridout....
