Conductor Nils Landgren
Supermusic is a new funk and soul production by UMO and Swedish soloist Magnum Coltrane Price. One of the hottest events on the European funk and soul scene this spring, the concert will also feature top Swedish names Nils Landgren and Viktoria Tolstoy. The material performed on the tour is from the album Supermusic, to be released on the legendary Blue Note jazz label in March 2012.
Supermusic features the coolest classics of soul, funk and R&B, from Prince to The Meters and D’Angelo. Magnum Coltrane Price contributes some of his own material.
