Nils Landgren Funk Unit, led by Swedish trombonist and singer Nils Landgren, is one of Europe's most respected funk and jazz-funk ensembles. Over the years, Landgren has built a remarkable reputation with his distinctive, earthy trombone sound, his unmistakable red trombone image and his ability to fuse funk, jazz, soul and a touch of pop into an accessible yet sophisticated style. The Funk Unit has toured internationally, performed at major jazz and crossover festivals and released a series of acclaimed albums that have helped define the sound of modern European funk. Their collaborations and constant presence on the live circuit have earned them a loyal fan base and recognition beyond the jazz world. The label ACT is one of Europe's leading jazz and contemporary music imprints, known for high production standards, distinctive artwork and a strong focus on artist development. Over the years, ACT has become synonymous with innovative, often genre-crossing jazz that combines improvisation with clear melodic ideas and modern sound aesthetics. The label has played a crucial role in bringing Scandinavian and European jazz to a global audience, providing artists with an environment where they can develop long-term careers rather than one-off releases.

With its striking pink 180g pressing, "Raw - Celebrating 30 Years" not only celebrates the band's history but also looks forward, capturing the current energy and vision of the group. The LP format emphasizes the album's flow, inviting listeners to experience the music in coherent sides rather than isolated tracks, and the robust pressing quality ensures low surface noise and a wide dynamic range. This record is ideal for fans of funk, jazz-funk and soul-infused grooves who appreciate a combination of catchy rhythms, instrumental excellence and audiophile presentation.
