Trombonist Mark Nightingale is a UK session stalwart, a sideman-of-choice of visiting American mainstream luminaries and a regular in the bands of Stan Tracey and the late Sir John Dankworth.
This album breaks the traditionalist mould with a fine-crafted set of in-the-pocket jazz funk band originals – titles include “Groove”, “Giblets” and “Live‘n’Give Theory”.
Saxophonist Nigel Hitchcock trades soulful alto, Laurence Cottle locked-in electric bass, but its Nightingale’s mix of svelte Ellingtonia and the stuttering, rhythmic panache of the JB’s stands out.
