Filmed live concert of Dumpstaphunk at the Springfield Jazz & Roots Festival in Massachusetts in 2026. Led by Ivan Neville, a member of New Orleans’ Neville musical dynasty, the band is one of the standard-bearers of contemporary funk, renowned for a rhythmic architecture built on two basses and its thick, bouncing grooves. On stage, Dumpstaphunk blends seventies funk heritage, soul and rock with formidable collective power and an improvisational sense typical of the jam scene. This capture conveys the infectious energy of an open-air festival performance, where rhythmic breaks, vintage keys and vocal harmonies pull the crowd into continuous dancing. An ideal live concert for lovers of funk, groove and New Orleans music, documenting the vitality of a band rooted in tradition while pushing it forward. A must for feeling the warmth of organic funk, played by outstanding, tightly knit musicians. The capture also underscores the enduring legacy of the Neville family in shaping the sound of New Orleans.
