Collectors Item - Music, Art and Life: Down To The Bone
Get Up & Dance as Down To The Bone Send You Love on "This Way Forward"


"A long-running name rather than a one-off project, Down To The Bone are collective whose door has revolved since at least the late 90s, ship-steered by helmsman Stuart Wade and a shifting crew of vocalists and session hands, rooted in UK jazz-funk and acid jazz but always tilled for dancefloor use. 

This Way Forward keeps that model intact and shows us the way, charging 10 cuts of brass accents and polished vocal turns from Hil St Soul, Natasha Watts and Guida de Palma. Wade's approach stays consistent, reaching back to Brit-funk and US smooth jazz but kept current through production detail and pacing. A continuation of a catalogue built over decades, the name identifying less a fixed band or brand, more a vehicle for Wade's take on club-ready jazz-funk."
