The legendary and relentlessly soulful funksters will detonate the dancefloor at JTMF for the very first time on Saturday night in October. Their latest LP (Unify, their 8th) finds the sextet at their freshest and funkiest. The band Adam Deitch (drums), Ryan Zoidis (saxophone), Adam Smirnoff (guitar), Erick Coomes (bass), Nigel Hall (keyboards/vocals), Eric ‘Benny’ Bloom (trumpet) displays a musical mastery and cohesion that leaves the audience a euphoric, sweaty and grinning. Says Coomes, “We’re just getting tighter and tighter. Really, these past three records, made with the six of us as a team, and it’s the best the band has ever been: live and in the studio; the funkiest and the most fun.” Epitomizing the funk and the fun, Bootsy Collins guests on “Keep That Funk Alive.” “It’s such a dream to have one of the inventors of funk music bless this album. We are all STILL in awe!” exclaims the band. This album is an expression that is pure Lettuce. Unify will teleport you to a funky galaxy far, far away, where all life coexists as one in peace, love, harmony, and music! This will be a don’t-miss, prime-time-saturday-night delirium-inducing dance set for the ages.
