Pete Thomas, veteran of Joe Jackson's Jumping Jive, The Fats Domino's band and, of course, the Music Maker's DVD we supply with our saxpacks presents this thoroughly enjoyable collection of his own compositions. This CD is the soundtrack to the greatest crime film never made- a variety of big band instrumentals, slinky blues and lively R&B workouts- with lots of nods to the great names of the past (Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Earl Bostic as well as Ray Charles, Cab Callaway and a big dose of New Orleans' soul) Totally accessible and with some great playing throughout from some of the UK's top session players. 16 tracks of hugely entertaining and inspiring material- and a splendidly funny booklet too!
