Description
dr jones aren't your average white funk band. With roots in jazz, soul,and classic rock, the band brings a fresh sound to the genre of acid jazz. The ability to fuse sweet grooves with outstanding song writing sets these guys apart from the rest of the pack and, in an industry, dominated by manufactured bands and cross-over soap celebrities, dr jones are a breath of fresh air, injecting real musicianship and talent into what can only be described as the finest funk in town.
"Sugar" is the long awaited debut album from dr jones. It is an inspired collection of ten original tracks varying from straight down the line funk to jazz-fuelled pop to rock-tinted grooves. While a funk-based album at heart, the band have drawn from a huge range of influences to produce a series of songs that not only showcase their considerable
musical and song-writing talents, but give a breadth and depth that offers something for everyone.
A follow up to the popular EP, "Time for Medicine", "Sugar" was produced by Euan Macrae at Mister Green Records and has been two years in the making. From original concepts and writing, right down to the final mix, the bands attention to detail and desire to turn out a original and fresh product has shaped the album from day one. With pre-release orders coming in early, and much anticipation and generated over the past twelve months, the wait is finally over.
The band has taken several forms over the last six years, finally coming to rest with the current line up, a blend that has proved greatly successful in creating the unique and distinctive sound that dr jones have become renowned for.
With a range of influences from Blackmore to Brand New Heavies, it comes as no surprise that the sound created is truly dynamic and fresh, something that is reflected in the energy of their live performances. The band have worked hard at establishing a massive following in Scotland, and now as interest stretches effortlessly across the rest of
the UK, it is clear that the band is on the verge of something big.
So who are dr jones? In essence they are an outstanding six piece funk band from Edinburgh. Fronting the band is singer Euan Macrae, an exceptionally talented vocalist and the visionary behind the band, who along with Karen Porter establishes the rich melodic edge that sets dr jones apart from the crowd. Keith Tait (guitar) and Niall Howe (keys) provide textures rooted in classic funk whilst injecting great hooks and outrageous solos into the mix. Finally, Ash Kimber (bass) and Mark Inchley (drums) create and drive the underlying grooves that put the funk into the heart of the dr jones sound. This band is not to be overlooked or underestimated.
The country's sick. The groove is lost. There is only one solution......
get dr jones.
