Concrete Playground

All star bands may evoke images of bad-eighties-hair Bono,
MJ and Sting getting together to heal the world and feed people at Christmas
and all that, but sometimes it just ends up being a spectacular mix of talented
musicians, all coming together to make beautiful music.

You can soon hear the beautiful music of the Menahan
Street band, comprising members of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, El Michels
Affair, Antibalos and the Budos Band, who were brought together by musician/
producer Thomas Brennick to record in his Menahan Street apartment in Brooklyn.

Joined by Charles Bradley and the Dojo-Cuts, these guys
produce outrageously groovy soul tunes. You might not be putting your best
dancing feet forward but you will certainly have your head bopping and your body
slowly rocking to the mellow sounds from the streets of Brooklyn.
