Their powerful and convincing shows at Leverkusener Jazztagen (Rockpalast WDR TV coverage), at Georgia’s Black Sea Jazz Festival, Saulkrasti Jazz in Latvia or at Jazztage Dresden propel TNM to one of the top acts in the European groove-scene:
Three musicians that have played over a thousand shows together in a ridiculous amount of settings, making the stage their second home: The Next Movement, led by drummer/singer mastermind J.J. Flueck (reminding of Buddy Miles and Anderson Paak) alongside P. Kaeser on bass / synth and Sam „The Kung-Fu Man“ on guitar are fusing Funk, Neo-Soul and R’n’B with a musical nonchalance recalling Prince. Putting musicianship, entertainment and deep groove into the focus, catapulting Funk into the future, the Trio is truly bringing back “The Glorious Return Of The Funk”. The group is blending influences like Prince, Miles Davis, D’Angelo & Jimi Hendrix into their own fresh mix and deliver a brilliant live performance with rarely seen double duties like Drums/Lead Vocals and Bass Guitar / Synth. Their Album“Never Coming Down” (Nov 3, 2023) is easily the funkiest thing released in Europe lately. The band is more than ready to deliver their adventurous and compelling live-set out into the world.
On November 22nd, 2023 The Next Movement celebrate their third album with a big bang at legendary Bierhübeli Bern (alongside other clubshows): “Never Coming Down”, of which a few tracks have already been released:
