Experience the torrent of funk groove! NBTF is a supergroup formed in 2000 by seven musicians from Japan and the US: drummer Takashi Numazawa, who studied and worked in the US, met these musicians while working there. These included Eddie M (saxophone), Carl Perazzo (percussion), Raymond McKinley (bass), Nate Marcereau (guitar), and Steve Baxter (trombone), all of whom were members of Prince and Sheila E.'s bands at the time, along with Toshiyuki Mori (keyboards), who later became a member of Shikao \u0026amp; The Family Sugar, Suga Shikao's band. Since then, they have continued to work intermittently, and now, in their 25th year, they have completed their first original album. Sadly, trombonist Steve Baxter, who had been with them throughout all their live performances and recordings, passed away suddenly in 2025, making this debut album his posthumous work. However, it's an exhilarating album where you can fully enjoy 100% pure funk. From exhilarating high-speed funk to sticky grooves and mid-to-slow funk that will make your hips tingle, it's all incredibly sharp! An album that every funk fan must hear has been born! Thanks to the connection between Mori and Numazawa, original members of Shikao \u0026amp; The Family Sugar, a collaboration with Suga Shikao was also realized (M2 \"FROZEN FUNK\"). He perfectly nailed an incredibly cool funk tune! Here you'll find an extraordinary funk sound delivered by these skilled players! Are you ready for the party, everyone?
