日本のファンクシーンに新たな覆面新人現る!
インスト・ジャズ・ファンク・バンド、UNDERCOVER EXPRESS。

 国籍=日本ということ以外はほとんどが謎に包まれている。4管のホーンセクションにツイン・ギター、オルガン入りのリズムセクションが放つオーセンティック・ファンク/ソウル・サウンドは抜群のタイト感!
しかし、この気合の入ったサウンドはどこかで聴いたことがあるような、、、。
 2008年7月18日、極上のスタイリスティック・グルーヴによる直球ド真ん中のソウルフル・カヴァー集「Introducing Undercover Express」(P-VINE)で堂々のデビュー!
年季の入ったソウルファン、ファンクファンも唸らす通好みの選曲は、ブラック・ミュージックに精通しているコイツ等ならでは!スタジオ録音12曲に加えてボーナストラックには、人気の「Tighten Up」「Soulful Strut」を含む3曲のライヴトラックを収録。必聴!

UNDERCOVER EXPRESS is the new killer comer to the Funk-Soul-Jazz scene in 2008. The name indicates that the group was formed to play strictly only instrumental cover tunes. The first album "INTRODUCING UNDERCOVER EXPRESS", coming out in July, 2008, contains both well-known Soul/Funk classics and surprising minor tunes that you'll enjoy.

The album contains:
AMEN, BROTHER (the Winstons, 1968)
MAD PIERROT (Yellow Magic Orchestra, 1978)
OPEN THE DOOR, RICHARD! (Jack McVea, 1947)
CAFE REGIO'S (Isaac Hayes, 1971 from the OST "SHAFT")
SUPERSHINE 9 (Originally on the OST "GORDON'S WAR" by Badder Than Evil)
CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK (Kool & The Gang, 1970)
GET DOWN (Curtis Mayfield, 1971)
LITTLE OLD MONEY MAKER (The Meters, 1969)
GET READY (The Temptations, 1966)
MESSAGE TO LOVE (Jimi Hendrix, 1969)
SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED I'M YOURS (Stevie Wonder, 1970)
HEY JUDE (The Beatles, 1968)

Also, the album contains three bonus amazing live recordings:
TRUCK TURNER (Isaac Hayes, 1973)
SOULFUL STRUT (Youg-Hold Unlimited)
TIGHTEN UP (Archie Bell & the Drells)

The band is combined by the skilled musicians who have been on the scene for years. Some of you might have already noticed that the name "undercover" indicates also that the group is disguising its original name. If you're familiar with the Japan Funk music scene, you know who they are. But for now, take this as is, and enjoy this ancillary production from the group.
