Borrowed Trouble - MTZ (2020)

Borrowed Trouble melds funk, jazz, soul, psychedelic rock and Afrobeat into a heady cocktail on their debut album, named after their shorthand for Martinez, California, their hometown. The west coast trio now has its members split between MTZ and Portland, Oregon, but they're just getting started, with a second album on the way and weekly jams. Fans of Soulive, the New Mastersounds, and Medeski, Martin & Wood will find much to dig into here.
