Defunkt Soul

DEFUNKT SOUL Fondati a New York nel 1978 dal trombonista e cantante Joe Bowie, i Defunkt si sono presto distinti per il loro originale mix di funk,soul, punk-rock e jazz, producendo ben 15 album e partecipando a tour in tutto il mondo e a centinaia di Jazz festival e avvenimenti Rock-Soul internazionali, dividendo i palcoscenici con artisti del calibro di James Brown, David Byrne and Talking Heads, The Clash, Prince, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Maceo Parker, ponendosi tra i migliori gruppi del settore. Considerati più un "collective" che una vera e propria band, i Defunkt hanno visto avvicendarsi tantissimi musicisti dell'area newyorkese e non, alcuni davvero famosissimi come il trombettista Lester Bowie, fratello del leader Joe, Vernon Reid,chitarrista dei Living Color, e poi Kim Clarke,Reggie Washington,Melvin Gibbs, Adam Klipple ed altri. Dal 2003 Joe Bowie vive in Olanda e nel 2009 ha voluto rifondare la band in Europa, riuscendo a trovare nello straordinario e variopinto underground musicale di Parigi i musicisti giusti per continuare il suo progetto. I nuovi Defunkt sono composti,oltre al leader Joe Bowie, da Linley Marthe,straordinario bassista del compianto Joe Zawinul, dall'italiano Rocco Zifarelli, dalla cantante franco-africana Emma Lamadji, dai francesi Michael Lecoq alle tastiere e Jon Grandcamp alla batteria. Con questa formazione la band ha eseguito diversi tour in Europa e registrato il CD "Mastervolt" pubblicato nel 2015 dall'etichetta americana Zip Records. ................................................. Founded in New York in 1978 by trombonist and singer Joe Bowie, Defunkt soon stood out for their original mix of funk, soul, punk-rock and jazz, producing 15 albums and touring around the world and hundreds of Jazz festivals and international Rock-Soul events, sharing stages with artists as James Brown, David Byrne and Talking Heads, The Clash, Prince, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Maceo Parker, and placing among the best funk groups . Considered more a "collective" than a real band, the Defunkt have seen many musicians from the New York area and not, some really famous as the trumpeter Lester Bowie, brother of the leader Joe, Vernon Reid, guitarist of Living Color, and then Kim Clarke, Reggie Washington, Melvin Gibbs, Adam Klipple and others. Since 2003 Joe Bowie lives in Holland and in 2009 he wanted to re-found the band in Europe, managing to find the right musicians in the extraordinary and colorful musical underground of Paris to continue his project. The new Defunkt are composed, in addition to the leader Joe Bowie, by Linley Marthe, extraordinary bassist of the late Joe Zawinul, by the Italian Rocco Zifarelli, by the French-African singer Emma Lamadji, by the French Michael Lecoq on keyboards and Jon Grandcamp on drums. With this line-up the band performed several tours in Europe and recorded the CD "Mastervolt" published in 2015 by the American label Zip Records. infos: website: www.roccozifarelli.com email: [email protected] .
