Blues/pop legend Paul Jones (the Manfreds, The Blues Band, and RADIO 2) joins Digby Fairweather’s Half Dozen for a new show ’ROCKIN’ IN RHYTHM.’ Their debut album will be released in late 2009. Paul is an icon of the blues and pop scene, and has been so since the nineteen sixties. He was lead singer with the super group Manfred Mann. He had hit records as a solo artiste, including ‘Bad Boy’ and ‘Pretty Flamingo,” has starred in West End musicals, and has for over twenty years presented his blues programme on RADIO 2. He has toured successfully with the Blues Band and The Manfreds for many years

This new show ROCKIN’ IN RHYTHM is a must for both blues, rock, and jazz fans, and is a winning combination of a top bluesman and rock icon, and Digby Fairweather’s poll-winning Half Dozen, and is a dynamic mix of blues, his own songs, and hits. The band is fronted by its star guest Paul Jones, and features his powerful singing and virtuoso blues harmonica. He just keeps getting better.

FULL BIO:

Paul Jones

Paul was the original front-man with the group Manfred Mann, and co-composer of the signature tune for Ready, Steady, Go! He was at the forefront of the 60s pop revolution, with million-selling records alongside the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Animals. Nowadays he shares the lead with Mike D'Abo in The Manfreds - along with most of the original members of Manfred Mann - touring extensively both in the UK and abroad.

In 1966 he turned to acting. His films include Privilege and The Committee. His television credits include Z Cars, Space 1999 and The Sweeney. More recently he starred in four series of the children's favourite, Uncle Jack. At the Royal National Theatre he starred in The Beggar's Opera and Guys And Dolls, and Kiss Me Kate. Other West End shows include Conduct Unbecoming, Cats, and Pump Boys and Dinettes. He has worked with directors such as Sir Richard Eyre, Peter Gill and Toby Robertson. His numerous gold albums include one for the original recording of Evita.

In 1979 he founded The Blues Band, which helped kick start another boom in Blues music.

Digby Fairweather
first formed a band called 'Dig's Half-Dozen' back in 1971. "At that time" he remembers, "I was trying to get a group together first and foremost to play Dixieland, but also to experiment with other areas, including "Jazz-rock, as people called it then, and we did very nicely for about a year". Since that time, Fairweather has become one of Britain's best- known Jazz musicians, working principally in Dixieland-mainstream surroundings, and playing - during the course of his 25 year professional career - with all the most eminent British exponents in that style. "And I certainly hope to go on doing that!" he says, "however, recently I've been wanting to get to grips with a wider variety of styles and approaches; all the different kinds of music I empathise with, but haven't played much of in years. Dixieland of course, but also modern jazz, jazz-fusion, and rhythm and blues which I've always enjoyed. Plus, in particular, the kind of four-part close harmony exemplified by the Four Freshmen, the Hi-Lo's and their vocal peers."

Craig Milverton - Piano:
Craig joined Digby's Half Dozen in late 1995, providing the ideal piano voice for the broad-ranging musical policy of the group. Craig plays convincing Dixieland as easily as he moves into the worlds of rhythm and blues and jazz fusion. He also leads a variety of groups of his own, and frequently backs topnotch visiting Americans. A brilliant and resourceful young super-talent.

Dominic Ashworth - Guitar
French-Canadian Dominic studied guitar in Toronto and Spain before moving to England fulltime. He joined Digbys Half Dozen in 1998, and also works with Carol Kidd, Michael Garrick, and Julian Marc's Dream Band as well as leading his own accoustic trio and teaching at Trinity College of Music. A phenomenally talented and versatile guitarist he is as happy playing Jimi Hendrix as Charlie Christian..

Julian Marc Stringle - Reeds
A young veteran who has spent his whole life in jazz, Julian led his first band Stringles Swingers at twelve! Recently called, by John Dankworth CBE, the "finest jazz clarinettist to emerge in Britain in several generations" Julian also leads his own Dream Band and has furthered his career in pop circles by recording with the Spice Girls and playing concerts with MeatIoaf A dedicated jazzman nonetheless, he is also (apart from Digby of course) the bands principal sex-symbol!

Len Skeat - Double Bass
Born in Birmingham Nick was given his first drum kit at the age of 5 and was soon to be inspired by the likes of Gene Krupa, Ed Thigpen, Dennis Chambers and in particular the drummer he has styled himself on, Buddy Rich. Before joining Kenny in 1999, he toured the world with many other bands, starting with an American rock cover band. Nick turned professional when he became a member of the Pete Allen Jazz band, with whom he played for 5 years. He was later with Terry Lightfoot, then the First Class Sounds band featuring Digby Fairweather. In addition to all this, he also runs his own trio or quartet which allows him to display his vocal talents.

Chris Gower - Trombone
Chris is the newest member of the Half Dozen. Like Julian he began playing Dixieland early (with the Unity Stompers on the Isle of Wight in the 1960s) and has since (like Julian again) divided his career between jazz and rock music, working on the one hand with the BBC Big Band and Pizza Express All Stars and on the other with Shakin~ Stevens and Suzi Quatro

Dennis is that rarest of jazz beasts: a genuine star
The Independent on Sunday

The first time I saw Badbone & Co, trombonist-leader Dennis Rollins was a rising star, making his mark on the UK. Seven years on, both Badbone and Rollins regularly win polls and awards, attesting to their popularity and credibility
John L Walters, The Guardian

Dennis Rollins does for the slide trombone what James Brown once did for singing
Jack Massarik, Evening Standard

And it was encouraging to see our own Dennis Rollins, trombonist and the leader of that cultured jazz-funk group Bad Bone & Co, slipping so comfortably into the line-up. Like Parker, Rollins instinctively understands how to balance showmanship with musicality.
Clive Davis, The Times

Rollins' trombone blares out like the cry of a sexual predator on heat: that's right, the trombone can be sexy
James Griffiths, The Guardian

Dennis Rollins is well-known on the British and international jazz scene, celebrated for his versatility and unique approach to the underrated trombone. His mighty sound can be heard to full effect in his award winning band Badbone & Co’s repertoire of groove-based, funky dance music with jazz overtones. Born in 1964 in the Midlands to Jamaican parents, and raised in South Yorkshire, Dennis cut his teeth at the age of 14 studying and performing with The Doncaster Youth Jazz Association. After years of study, Dennis moved to London and began playing with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO), and the legendary all-black jazz big band The Jazz Warriors. Over the years, Dennis, now based in Doncaster, has established a reputation as an artist of excellence, and has lent his unique and stylish talents to some of this country's, and indeed the world's, top jazz and pop personalities such as Courtney Pine, Baba Maal, Jamiroquai, US3, Brand New Heavies, and Blur. He is also a popular and crowd-pleasing member of Maceo Parker’s band.

Dennis was nominated twice in the 2008 Parliamentary Jazz Awards – for Jazz Musician of the Year and the Jazz Education Award; he won the latter in a ceremony hosted by Paul Gambaccini at the House of Commons Terrace Pavilion. In February 2008, in a ceremony at Mansion House, Doncaster, Dennis was given Honorary Freedom of the Borough in recognition of his successful musical career, and for his role as an inspiration to Doncaster's musical youngsters. Martin Winter, Mayor of Doncaster, had this to say to Dennis: This honour is the highest award the Borough can bestow, and one which you richly deserve. You have contributed much to our society and touched the lives of so many people.

In 2007, Dennis picked up Trombonist of the Year at both the British Jazz Awards, and the Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Awards, and received nominations in the Urban Music Awards, and the Parliamentary Jazz Awards. Badbone & Co won the prestigious BBC Jazz Award for Best Band in 2006, and Dennis collected the Marston’s Pedigree British Jazz Award for Best Trombonist the same year. His Rhythms of Fire project also won the 2006 Arts & Kids Award, part of the regional Arts & Business Awards.

Alongside Dennis’ mighty trombone sound you can hear Johnny Heyes on guitar, Chris Webb on bass, James Gardiner-Bateman on alto sax, Mitch Jones on keys and Jack Polllitt on drums. Dennis Rollins’ Badbone & Co has released three critically acclaimed albums: Badbone, Make Your Move, and Big Night Out!, the 2006 album which is classic Dennis Rollins, but with extra funk.

Soulive - (groove series)

SOULIVE – UP HERE
March 2009 marks Soulive’s 10th Anniversary – ten years since Eric Krasno, Alan Evans and his brother Neal Evans got together for the first time at a home studio just outside of Woodstock, NY and recorded Get Down.
Over the past 10 years, Soulive has covered a lot of ground – musically and literally.
The band has traveled to nearly every corner of the world, touring Ghana, Russia, nearly all of Europe, Brazil, and Japan (nine times!). They’ve been across America on dozens of tours. New Orleans Jazz Fest has become a home away from home. And in their actual home, New York City, they are closing in on their 100th show.
Not many bands can say they’ve recorded with Chaka Khan, Dave Matthews, Talib Kweli and John Scofield. Nor can many bands open for The Rolling Stones on one tour and have Stevie Wonder sit in with them on the next tour. The musical relationships the band has developed, from the aforementioned artists to Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi, Robert Randolph, Joshua Redman, Kenny Garrett, Fred Wesley, The Roots, Ivan Neville and so many others, speak volumes about both how versatile these talented musicians are. Jazz, hip-hop, rock, soul, funk, R & B, Blues – musically, there is not much the band hasn’t done.
In developing their own history, Soulive has been in the company of legends both new and old. In 2000, Bruce Lundvall signed the band to Blue Note Records and Soulive became part of recorded music’s greatest jazz legacy. Soulive joined the ranks of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jimmy Smith, Wayne Shorter and Grant Green and was part of the niche label’s rise as Norah Jones captivated the nation. Six years later, Soulive would be the first band signed to the new incarnation of Stax Records, joining the incredible soul tradition built by the likes of Isaac Hayes, Sam and Dave, and Otis Redding.
Soulive has always been creatively restless, never content to ride a sound (or a look) for too long. The band has led their fans through many incarnations: both male & female singers, a horn section, and repeated returns to the trio format. The band and the fans have endured, grown and morphed. Consistent through all of the different line-ups, though, was the groove – Neal’s club-shaking left hand pounding out bass lines, Alan’s ride propelling the music forward, and Eric’s solos soaring on top. Every show has that moment where Neal leans on the organ up high and the whole band breaks free. Every Soulive fan knows that moment. That is something that has never changed.
While ten years is something to celebrate, Soulive is not a band to look backward. The band is more concentrated on the future than concerned with revisiting its past. Unencumbered by record contract and fully equipped with a state-of-the-art recording studio, Soulive is embracing the new music business model by launching their own record label, “Royal Family Records.” With a focus on digital distribution, the label will be an outlet for all Soulive recordings as well as numerous Soulive affiliated projects such as Lettuce, Eric’s project “Chapter 2”, Alan’s and Neal’s solo records and Break Science featuring Adam Detch. The label will also sign emerging talent and develop them on tour with Soulive. The first artist to join up is soul singer Nigel Hall, who will release an EP this spring and join the band on the road.
Soulive will launch their label with the release of their new studio effort Up Here. The LP was recorded in Alan’s new studio in Hatfield, Mass in the fall of 2008. “This is the Soulive album I've always wanted to record – it’s what I've been hearing in my head for years,” says Alan, who also tracked and mixed the record. “It's like when people say ‘if I could go back in time knowing what I know now.’ Well, that's what we did with Up Here. The session had the vibe and energy of Get Down but with all of our experiences from the past 10 years put down on tape in a very meaningful way. “
The record’s opening track “Upright” immediately sets the tone with a completely infectious hook featuring Neal on an old upright piano. There are some nods to the “old-school” on the record. “For Granted” is a tip of the hat to Grant Green, and Eric plays licks reminiscent of his early solos on Get Down and Turn It Out. Guest vocalist Nigel Hall tears it up on “Too Much” while Eric’s guitar sings like D’Angelo on the laid-back grind of “Put on Yo Pajamas.” The entire record features tight horn arrangements from long-time Soulive collaborators and friends, Sam Kininger and Ryan Zoidis.
No matter how you listen to Up Here, it sounds like you’re listening to vintage vinyl. One of the most difficult things about making a record with a great live band is capturing all that live energy while still making the record that’s about songs. Up Here does as good a job as any record could in accomplishing this. “Straight up,” says Alan, “this is the first Soulive album that I can say every tune on it is my favorite on the album.”
Up Here isn’t the only thing Soulive has on tap for 2009. The band has a double-live LP recorded in Japan last summer that will be released as four separate EPs throughout the year. There is also a full length live DVD from the same sessions. Soulive also hopes to have another studio record ready for public consumption by the fall.
In his recent book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell says it takes ten years of experience before anyone can really hit their stride. If he is right, then Soulive fans better watch the hell out.
