The band included bassist Clive Griffiths, vocalist Mike Patto and guitarist Pete 'Ollie' Halsall. 24 tracks total. 1998 Decca release. |
CD ReviewsFine musicianship, great range... collegemoney | 05/17/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Here's hoping this review gets this piece of music the attention it richly deserves. Even if any prospective listener has to work to hunt it down. You know why? Because it's that good.
Performing R&B and soul standards with aplomb, doing their own fine material, and coming up with a display of instrumental talent second to none among peers ("Soul Sauce" -- how many bands had a resident VIBRAPHONIST like Ollie Halsall - who doubled on guitar and died much too soon). The succesor band Patto wasn't shabby either (!) but this is the "deal." Grab this if you can." |
