The Sound Stylistics • Greasin' The Wheels



This group consists of some of the best musicians on the planet, and a veritable who’s who on the London funk scene, featuring the classic JTQ rhythm section of James Taylor (organ), Gary Crockett (bass) and Neil Robinson (drums) alongside guitarists Eddie Roberts (New Mastersounds) and Mark Van der Gucht (Galliano).
They are joined by Fender Rhodes phenomenon Jim Watson (Brand New Heavies, Incognito and Zero 7) and the heavyweight horns of Dominic Glover (trumpet - Brand New Heavies & Incognito), Andy Ross (sax - The Herbaliser), Mike Smith (Sax - Jamiroquai) and Nichol Thompson (trombone - Brand New Heavies & Incognito). The album 'Play Deep Funk' also has percussion from the legendary Snowboy, additional drums from Simon Lee (Dr. Seuss) and guest vocals from Noel McKoy.
Collectively they make up The Sound Stylistics, a jam band of the highest order.

The band have fused all their favourite influences together throughout this album, from film soundtracks, latin jazz to psychedelic soul to great effect. The highlights include the opening track ‘Tie One On’ which is a nod to the soul jazz sound of the Prestige label circa late 60’s, pumping drums sit underneath a crisp, irresistible horn riff that guitarist Al Cherry rides with an inimitable solo rooted in the style of legends like Cornell Dupree and Phil Upchurch and it’s pure dance floor magic.

La banda ha fusionado todas sus influencias favoritas a lo largo de este álbum, desde bandas sonoras de películas, jazz latino hasta soul psicodélico con gran efecto. Entre los aspectos más destacados se encuentra el tema de apertura 'Tie One On', que es un guiño al sonido de soul jazz del sello Prestige hacia finales de los 60, los tambores bombeando se sientan bajo un crujiente e irresistible riff de trompeta que el guitarrista Al Cherry monta con un solo inimitable arraigado en el estilo de leyendas como Cornell Dupree y Phil Upchurch y es pura magia de la pista de baile.
