In the Netherlands’ New Cool Collective, red-hot players coalesce flawlessly over oodles of insistent grooves. The group explore Southern soul and funk with rasping flutes, squawking trumpets, funk guitars, frenetic percussion—and a whole lot of fun. Add a samba shimmy here, some ambitious electro-fusion there, cap it with an irresistibly luxurious interpretation of The Carpenters’ “We’ve Only Just Begun” and you have a collection of some of the most feel-good jazz-funk around.
