Nils Gessinger Band

Nils Gessinger Band
The NILS GESSINGER BAND play in a 11-piece setup Soul, Jazz & Funk that literally lets the sparks fly! Adding a funk-horn-brass section and a Soul singer only original compositions by bandleader Nils Gessinger are being played.
Elegantly played, a lively variety of a memorable melody, paired with a laid-back funky grooving rhythm section and tight brass riffs as keen as a razor - that's danceable Soul on high quality level!
