Description
The UK’s leading jazz groove band DOWN TO THE BONE present a seriously funky all-instrumental 3CD collection of their first three albums, which have been unavailable in physical format for some years.
“From Manhattan To Staten” went to No 2 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums chart on its original release in the Nineties, while another key cut, the Grammy-nominated “Brooklyn Heights”, hit No 2 on Billboard’s Jazz airplay chart. Both these tunes also feature as 2019 bonus tracks, recorded live in the studio by the band’s current line-up.
Second CD “The Urban Grooves” opens with two more DTTB classics, “Long Way From Brooklyn” and “The Zodiac”. Again, the album has a newly recorded bonus track, a cover of Willie “Beaver” Hale’s “Concrete Jungle”, long a favourite in their live set. Third CD “Spread The Word” also features a brand new bonus track – available for the first time – a cover of Beyonce’s 2006 hit “Déjà vu”.
The band’s founder/producer Stuart Wade says: “These first three albums are very special to me as they were the ones that started everything off. The first album was me wanting to see if I could use my love of all things groovy to create something by a novice that was good enough to contribute to the jazz -funk scene that I loved. Without the success of these three albums, especially in the US, there would have been no future for DTTB. “I never usually do covers but after some of the band members started messing about with ‘Déjà Vu’ during a soundcheck, I decided to try it out at live shows. As that went well I decided to add Little Beaver’s ‘Concrete Jungle’ as I had played it a few times when I deejayed before the band’s live set. I’m so pleased that we have now been able to capture those tunes on record”
