Down To The Bone

Hailed as king of UK jazz groove, Down To The Bone’s groove gets harder, funkier and juicier. Their music encompasses all that is funky, soulful and jazzy. As founder and producer of the band, Stuart Wade states that “it’s all about the groove…that is what get people dancing, their toes tapping and their heads nodding.”

The retro-vibe that pays homage to such musical greats as Ramsy Lewis, Roy Ayers and Lonnie Liston Smith, and epitomizes the Down To The Bone sound is created in a unique way. While Wade is not a conventional musician, he has a team of band members that help him to expand his ideas and melodies: together, they lay down chords and create rhythms. Then he uses a selection of live instrument recording and samples. With the addition of vocalists and reputed musicians, he is able to create some truly tasty tracks. With five albums receiving critical acclaim and chart topping success in the US contemporary Jazz Billboard charts, IMAC is thrilled to welcome Down To The Bone to its stage.
