Album Information:
Below is a review of Don't Look Down, originally from Blues and Soul magazine...
It’s been great seeing horn-sections coming to the
fore as artists in recent years. The London Horns comprise of Graeme Flowers
(trumpet), Barnaby Dickinson (trombone) and Graeme Blevins (saxophone) –
all top session players in their own right, and are backed by a firing
trio of guitar, bass and drums.
I assumed that this would be an out-and-out Funk album but, by the
very nature of the sound and style of the incredible players in the
rhythm section it is more of a Jazz Fusion CD. I would say that on a
first impression the style is both mid-70’s Funk Fusion and contemporary
at the same time. In other words it’s not a retro-sounding CD and,
frankly, is all the better for it.
The band are not scared of going into the darker experimental areas
favoured by contemporary and friend Finn Peters either. All the styles
merge seamlessly and very satisfyingly, and if this CD is designed to show off
the horn sections' skills in arrangements, punchy section-work and
individual solo skills, it succeeds in a big way! Snowboy
