Jam on the Groove

Next month, 54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club & Private Event Destination, presents some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond, including Paloma Diamond, Chester Gregory, and many more! See the full lineup here.

The release day focus and title track ‘Intuition’ is a hook-laden jam with hints of Brubeck, Chaka Khan and Nino Rota, featuring Alison Limerick and guitarist Desmond Foster on soulful vocals and Hux’s funky drummer beats It follows up the recent 4th single from the album ‘Rollin’, which was playlisted by Jazz FM for four weeks.

Alison Limerick (vocals), Desmond Foster (guitar, vocals), Ebba Âsman (trombone, backing vocals), Hux Nettermalm (drums, percussion), Kristoffer Wallman (keys, vibraphone and synths) and bandleader Lati Kronlund (bass, guitars, keys and producer) deliver a confident and vibrant set of originals.

The cult funk ensemble Brooklyn Funk Essentials share the playful video for their infectious new jazz-funk jam 'AA Side Single', in follow up to the critically acclaimed recent single 'Scream!' released on Dorado Records.

‘AA Side Single’ is a funk stomper, with a classic groove, squelchy bass, Tower Of Power style brass and Alison Limerick’s seductive vocals. With its lyrics “Won’t be your B-side, baby I’d rather not get played, I’m double A side single”, the track is all fun, vinyl-themed innuendo about having no intention of getting played.

Brooklyn Funk Essentials released the video for their afrofunk single 'Scream!', featuring legendary vocalist Alison Limerick and the full BFE band. The video accompanying the single sees the much loved cult funk ensemble jamming in their element in the studio, with dynamic cuts of Alison moving gracefully across the screen. See the video here!

The cult funk ensemble Brooklyn Funk Essentials have released their exciting new single 'Scream!'. 'Scream!' is taken from the group's hotly anticipated seventh studio album 'Intuition', which will come out in November 2022 on Dorado Records, the original label who first signed the band in 1994.

‘Scream’ is a syncopated groove wrapped by powerful Tower Of Power style horns and percussion, with lyrics that make a shout for freedom of expression. The track is the outcome of the pandemic on the band led by bassist and founder Lati Kronlund, who jammed, wrote and recorded music continuously together in their studio.

You'll also hear songs that have never been performed in concert - anywhere, by anyone!

DOWNPOUR started as a project without any expectations — just an unfettered desire to play music. Their initial­, instrumental jam nights among the members offered a respite from real life — things like 9 to 5s, crumbling relationships, bills, and beyond. Their sessions were akin to therapy sessions and the music became increasingly heavy.
