Nu Band has a special place in Bop Shop Records history. The group originally counted among its members Roy Campbell playing trumpet, Mark Whitecage playing saxophones, Joe Fonda playing bass and Lou Grassi playing drums. They gave a memorable concert on January 27, 2001 (their third as a band) that subsequently was released on the Portuguese label Clean Feed as Live At The Bop Shop, the first recording to bear that legend. Needless to say, a lot has happened since then. Yet they maintained their original mission: a quartet of equals with each member having a say in compositions, booking performances etc. They have also retained the looseness and improvisatory daring that characterized their music. This unit released six albums, maintaining their sharp writing, wit and style.
