Review

Chilled down and grooved up, the masters of the U.K.'s jazz scene, Down To The Bone, issue another powerhouse with "SPREAD LOVE LIKE WILDFIRE." Killer horns, funked rhythms, and Neil Cowley's signature down-tempo keys give the set a cool, retro vibe that begs to be danced to. Play it loud.

"The sound on this album," reflects founder and architect Stuart Wade, "is much funkier and more energetic. The jazz/funk and fusion of the '60s and '70s had a great deal of influence on me. Put this all together with today's retro/club/dance influences and you have the sound I am trying to create. I feel this is exactly what the band's sound is." To do so, Wade brought on an incredible horn section - Richard Wargent (sax), Mike Kearsey (trombone), and Jon Scott (trumpet) - that gives the tunes a powerful punch of funk. Also joining the collective is flutist Jeremy Steig on Wildfire Woman and Memphis Groove. The latter tune marks Wade's nod to Herbie Mann's R&B-infused jazz flute on MEMPHIS TWO-STEP and MEMPHIS UNDERGROUND. Wildfire Woman calls to mind freewheeling '60s and '70s San Francisco. "It has that West Coast groovy funk and folk feel that came out of that city's musical melting pot, where rock met up with all sorts of sounds and styles," Wade explains. "You can hear my love of some of the 'Blaxploitation' soundtracks of those decades and, of course, the Brazilian and samba feel that I love so much."
