Though best known for his work with funk band The New Mastersounds, Eddie Roberts jazzier side finds an outlet through his solo jazz projects. Through working with The New Mastersounds on a few of their early albums, I was asked by Eddie to design the album artwork for two of his solo projects, ‘Trenta’ and ‘Roughneck Live In Paris’.

Eddie was recently voted as the best British guitarist for the Craig Charles Fantasy Brit Funk Band and on ‘Roughneck Live in Paris’ you can hear why. The album was released in Japan on P-Vine records and recorded live at Le Triptyque in Paris.

Trenta, released on Salvo’s Records, is a beautiful album which features instrumental arrangements of traditional Neopolitan songs from the 60s and 70s.
