'These three push all the buttons, tick all the boxes. You want funk? You got it? You want Jazz? It's right there. Maybe you want to go a little towards the outside? They'll take you there and bring you back in one piece.' - Bebop Spoken Here

The band features Nik Svarc (Guitar), Steve Hanley (Drums) and Martin Longhawn (Organ/Keys). The group have played at Manchester Jazz Festival, Charlie Wrights London, Splinter Jazz Newcastle, the Yardbird Birmingham, Arts Club Glasgow, Sela Bar Leeds, and of course our little stage here at Matt and Phred’s. Come and join this brilliant and hugely experienced trio groove the night away through both originals and covers from across the decades.

'The album closes on a majestic crescendo that is yet another of the many disparate characteristics that go up to make one of the album releases of the year for this reviewer. Gracefulness and power are very difficult to attain without upsetting the equilibrium, but this release manages that fine balancing act with a great deal of dignity.'-John Toolan Jazz Goes To Leeds (For the Greater Good Album Review )
