Nils and Viktoria are both great skilled musicians but this sounds more like soul-abba or hiphop-abba than funky abba... I would like a little more jazz-funk (yes, more cowbell!) here.
Just found my funky Abba cd after losing it 2 years ago. Played it on the long journey home full blast. Drumming along to it the whole way. F***ing amazing album. Great band.
@romishark I've been transcribing a lot of nils solo's lately... his playing is almost a study in perfect funky use of chromaticism, you could almost write a book on how to play funk for trombone using only him and Fred Wesley... Check out his solo on "6 beauties on a roof top" from "5000 miles"
True but I think the energy is better here, I'm planning on using this as the first tune to learn in a funk band I'm starting and I think I'm taking a cross between this live track and the CD track for my cover.
This video is such a validating moment for us trombone players. A trombone player is front-lining with a good looking/talented singer while the saxaphone and trumpet players are obscured in the background... ... it doesn't happen often but it's nice to see the bone up front!!
i heard these guys when i was on holiday with family in stockholm, im so glad i did! theyre just so groovy its not fair! and i saw victoria tolstoy (the daughter of the great author!) in aberdeen, she was awesome! but to the man with the red horn...i love you!!
Viktoria Tolstoy is awesome, I agree, but she is not Leo Tolstoy's daughter. Her mother is Tolstoy's great-granddaughter. Viktoria's father is a swedish jazz musician and professor for music.
yeah i know, read above. the red horn comment was referring to mcp's lyrics from the track 'red horn' from the live in stockholm album. he is the man with red horn!
I've seen the Funky Abba Concert twice, in Koblenz and in Bingen. That's great music. Really Awesone Funky Stuff! I'm very looking forward to the next Funk Unit Album. And Viktoria Tolstoy is just great!
Yeah baby ... blow man blow

I like to discribe Nils playing as "controlled chaos" or some other phrase like that.

Yes V T is very good but not daughter of russion author Leo Tolstoy, but I think they are long way relat.
Nils Landgren plays The RED Yamaha Horn, he can do the most in this music, pop,blues, jazz!
