Celebrated international artists also booking through Funkgurus Artist Management.

Kim Waters - Chart-Topping Saxophonist Kim Waters is heralded as “Simply one of the planet’s best saxophonists” by JazzTimes Magazine. The prolific chart-topping saxophonist, composer and producer has enjoyed a career for three decades and has reigned as one of the premier architects of Urban Smooth and Contemporary Jazz.

Reach for It - is a celebration of a master musician George Duke. Impeccable ensemble musicianship combines with Brazilian vibes, friendly funk and some very groovy jazz. Featuring heavyweight UK session players Carl Hudson, Winston Blissett (Massive Attack), Karlos Edwards, Geoff Dunn and guest vocalists such as Imaani from Incognito.

Haakon Graf Trio - Graf has been playing on the Scandinavian jazz scene for long enough to have earned the title ‘legend’ and his ability to play two keyboards simultaneously lends an intriguing edge to these performances. Watching the DVD, you see him playing so nonchalantly that it is easy to miss the fact that he is playing two keyboards at different tempos with different melodies to produce an interplay of sounds that gives the trio presence and depth. That the keyboard playing alone is well worth listening only tells half the story.

The line-up is matched with a song-list of the funkiest dance-floor classics, soul and R&B anthems from the golden era of the genre.
