Breaks – Breaks (CD)
Product Details
Robert Walter, Eddie Roberts, and Stanton Moore have each spent decades as the engine rooms of their respective bands, the kind of players other musicians fly in specifically because they understand feel at a cellular level. Hearing them turn that collective intelligence toward each other, with no frontman to defer to and no safety net, reveals just how much headroom these three have always had.
The Breaks, a brand-new powerhouse trio of Robert Walter (Greyboy Allstars), Eddie Roberts (The New Mastersounds), and Stanton Moore (Galactic). Rooted in the tradition of late-'60s organ trios and hard-hitting boogaloo, The Breaks pushes the sound forward with deep-pocket rhythms, tight arrangements, and fearless improvisation. Eddie Roberts' sharp, melodic guitar work dances effortlessly over Stanton Moore's explosive New Orleans-infused drum grooves, while Robert Walter's signature Hammond organ tones tie it all together with grit and soul. Between them, they've logged countless tours, recorded landmark albums, and collaborated with a who's-who of the modern jam, funk, and jazz worlds. But in The Breaks, the chemistry feels spontaneous- three kindred spirits locking into a groove and letting it ride. "Even though this is a new band, there are years of history between us," says Walter. "These are two of my favorite musicians and two of my closest friends. I'm also a huge fan of both Eddie and Stanton. It's so easy and fun to play music with these people. It's likeputting on a pair of well broken in comfortable shoes.
