The Rythm & Blues, Soul en Jazz Sven Hammond brings to town is a treat and has been awarded numerous times in 
The Netherlands. The most recent and third album by Sven Hammond Soul is a rollercoaster ride. One minute you’re in the Copacabana nightclub in New York watching dancing girls wearing outrageous outfits and the next you’re dancing in a parade in New Orleans to end the night amongst a crowd of raving cyberpunks. Be careful not to get lost in funky town.
Sven Figee, founder of the band, has a very rich history in music. He played in rock band, soul combo’s, funk groups and bigbands. The various sounds are all brought into the mix of the album “The Apple Field”. The album takes you on a journey through the sixties (Oh Woman) into the deep soul era (Last Time), from sweaty funk to loungy music. This wide panorama of genres is put together in a way that sooths the ear. It’s good, it’s sexy, it’s right.
