A compilation of all Craig Charles' selections from his BBC Radio 6 Funk and Soul Show

The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show

A warm, somewhat instrumental journey through time, memory, and movement. This 12-track project blends jazz, soul, and boom-bap.

From the immediacy of Now to the hazy reflections of Rearview, each track sketches a moment in motion. Jungle Dreams, Downtown and The Antagonist pulse with life, while Echoes and Cracked Bell linger like distant thoughts.

It’s a soundtrack for quiet streets, open windows, and everything in between.

The New Mastersounds are an astonishingly persistent funk/soul-jazz quartet who were founded in Leeds, UK in 1999 by guitarist/producer Eddie Roberts and drummer Simon Allen. They recruited Pete Shand on bass and Bob Birch on organ & piano. Bob left the band in 2007 and was replaced by Joe Tatton.  By the close of 2013 (the time of writing) their discography boasted more than twenty 7" 45rpm singles, 8 studio albums, 2 live albums, 1 remix album and several compilation albums, with one more studio album and another live album already recorded and pegged for release in 2014. The band has toured all over the USA (having visited 38 of the 50 states at last count), Japan, and to a lesser extent in UK & Europe.  Influences include James Brown, Grant Green, Booker T, Lou Donaldson and The Meters, as well as the (mainly) UK-based DJs who exposed the four musicians to the sounds of lesser known funk acts at the vinyl-only club nights of the mid-90's.
