Introducing Original Dutch Funk Unit The Jig

The Jig


Gut-Grinding Amsterdam Funk Machine
With a Rock ’n’ Roll Attitude

A seven piece funk outfit The Jig recently celebrated the release of its third album Proximo Disco.

The Jig is is one of few genuine professional funk bands, a tight pack that writes and plays only original tunes. Funk is an essential element of most popular music including hiphop, pop, disco and dance. The Jig from Amsterdam delivers the real deal, sounding urgent and up-to-date with their feverish horns, hairdo-disrupting guitar, sawing synths plus Hammond, face-slapping bass and uptight drums. They performed on many prominent stages and festivals in Holland and toured regularly through Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, USA and Brazil.

On Proximo Disco the band collaborates for the first time with a singer on three tracks: Mr. Ruben Seyferth. Although the instrumental band despises singers in general, they love Mr. Ruben who is joining the group for a large part of the set on live occasions. His voice can be described as a combination of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Prince.

Those who have seen the band perform know The Jig invariably delivers a powerful, tight, passionate and festive live show.

‘Perfect combination of dirty greasy P-funk, the rolling rhythms of The Meters and the high quality performance of Tower of Power. Virtuosic solo’s, eager playing & fun. Go see them live!’ - Jazzism Magazine
 
album is packed with heavy funk with a rock ’n’ roll attitude combined with soul, afro, jazz and more. On Proximo Disco The Jig sounds more diverse and catchier than ever.
