Hustle

Worldwide est le nouvel album du groupe parisien The Big Hustle. Avec un son très marqué funk, ses 11 titres font des incursions dans la soul, le rock, le hip hop… Emmenés par le bassiste Sébastien Levanneur, les musiciens - qu’on a bien envie d’appeler les « hustlers » - sont des aguerris de la scène française. Depuis, plusieurs années, ils travaillent avec des artistes ou des groupes comme Malted Milk, Beat Assailant, Manu Dibango… Ils sont influencés par le funk et le jazz électrique de ces dix dernières années (Lettuce, Soulive, Snarky Puppy, Electro Deluxe). Et ça s’entend !
