Synopsis
Amazon.com Not since Shakatak in the '80s has a band from London so effortlessly combined British acid jazz/funk with America's smooth-jazz sensibilities. Most of the tracks here have a mellowness about them that probably feels safe to those who don't need strong hip-hop rhythms and bold vocals. On the other hand, DTTB rely heavily on sharp, crisp arrangements, dynamic musicianship, and an adherence to a '70s sonic palette. Producer-arranger Stuart Wade is the artist with the brush on what is, if not the group's best album, certainly their most cohesive. Song titles are almost self-explanatory: "Searching for a Simple Groove," "Cooking with Gas," and "Electra Glide." --Mark Ruffin Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMarvelous gq_online@yahoo.com | 12/13/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I know funky jazz and how it should sound. DTTB has accomplished this feat. The bands driving melodies create a pleasing euphoria similar to what I felt when I heard earth, wind and fire for the first time. I believe DTTB is destined for similar fame. You just can't match that funky sound anywhere else. My advice is to buy all of their albums and you won't be disappointed." Keep s your legs movin and finger s movin, its a grove thing A. lombardi Jr. | north cape may, nj United States | 03/08/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I have all the cds and they are great, this one is great also I look foward to each one coming out and this one was worth the wait just like the first two. I do think they need to start puttin some singers on the tracks more tho, the music will be the same but that much better. this is good and worth buying and so far they are 3 for 3 , cant wait to see the next or hear it ." Great Music Suzy | 01/14/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is great music. Jazz influences, driving beats and melodies that compel you to listen often. My favorite track, "I Softly Surrender (To You)", is one of the most interesting, and beautiful compositions I have ever heard. This CD is a must have."
