Kerbside Collection - Trash or Treasure

Release Date:05/26/2015;Notes:Aussie jazz-funkers Kerbside Collection return with Trash Or Treasure, follow up to their warmly received debut album from 2013. The music on Trash Or Treasure explores wilder textures and tones interspersed with more 'jazzier' flavors alongside their gritty sidewalk rare groove. Influenced by the rare funk and simple raw jazz and soul sounds of artists like Placebo (the 70's Belgian Jazz fusion group), The Menehan Street Band, The Whitefield Brothers, Tommy Guerrero, Ray Barbee and The Mattson 2, Trash Or Treasure even contains hints of library music with lush tones from added instrumentation like vibraphone, sitar and brass that blend into their dusty '60s inspired West Coast jazz funk sound. Recorded and engineered by Hopestreet Recording's Roberto Sola (Bob Knob), the album features an extended collection of players including members from The Cactus Channel, Bombay Royale and Brazil to complete the spectrum of colors on the record.
