The Breaks - Breaks [Gray & Turquoise Vinyl]

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 like putting on a pair of well broken in comfortable shoes.
