Description
John Heaven's debut album is an impressive affair. Funky, witty and diverse, this collection of originals recalls the Brit-Funk of The Average White Band and the English Soul of those mid seventies delights Kokomo. Heavens has stage-managed the affair almost single-handedly, calling upon a stellar cast of UK singers, horn players and a delightfully funky Andrea Vicari on piano.
"The songs are fresh and groovy, teasing the listener with well arranged intros, Tower Of Power style, easing into head-nodding grooves and framing Heaven's well intoned and refreshingly unadorned vocal delivery." - Ian Shaw (BBC Jazz Vocalist Of The Year 2007).
