The King Johnson Band New Orleans Funk Blues, jazz, latin and rock Oliver Wood, guitar, vocals Adam Mewherter, trombone, tuba Marcus James, sax, clarinet Chris Long, bass, vocals Chris Uhler, congas, percussion Greg Baba, drums, percussion Per la prima volta in Europa, gli americani King Johnson sono i creatori di uno stile che ha come base la 'roots music', ma che spicca per originalità, spessore culturale e scelta di elementi presi dal Jazz, dal Blues, dal New Orleans Funk, dalla Musica Latina e dal Rock. Vantano il successo di tre CD che li hanno fatti conoscere come innovatori a livello mondiale. L'ultimo "Luck So Strange" non sfugge alle regole di esecuzione spigliata e vivace, e dimostra come la band metta in evidenza una sezione fiati e dei ritmi funky in modo sciolto e espressivo. Il loro piacere nel dare vita a nuove esperienze musicali si diffonderà con immediatezza nelle nostre piazze dove il divertimento è garantito. Da non perdere è il loro contributo al concerto gospel creato appositamente per l'occasione! King Johnson brings their unique mix Blues, Jazz, New Orleans Funk, Latin Music and Rock, to Europe for the very first time. Their three CDs have already created considerable excitement in roots music circles and at home they have been voted the best Atlanta blues band for four of the last five years. Blues is only part of their style as a listen to their lastest CD, the wonderful "Luck So Strange", will reveal. In fact, the new sounds they create thanks to their extensive knowledege of regional American styles and the exquisite taste with which they work the blends, are sure to delight the Blues to Bop public, always ready to welcome true innovator.
