Down To The Bone - This Way Forward (2026)

After a decade, Grammy-nominated band Down To The Bone return with their groove laden, acid jazz-tinged new album.

Featuring ten tracks with a diversity of flavours, from jazz funk and soul to Brazilian. Perfectly crafted by multi-talented musicians and vocalists from past and present, from Hil St Soul (who co-wrote the opening track 'Get Up And Dance') to the equally soulful Natasha Watts and the Brazilian sounds of Guida de Palma.

Musicians include the horn section of Tim Smart, Ryan Jacob (Bonobo/Alice Russell) and James Arben (Vibration Black Finger/Mulatu Astatke), Piers Green on sax solos, the driving bass of Julian Crampton and Jo Phillpotts, drummer Davide Giovannini (Snowboy/ Jazztronik/Da Lata and Pucho/Lisa Stansfield), the melodic chords of Neil Angilley (Snowboy/Jazzinho/Maceo Parker) and Anders Olinder (PeeWee Ellis/ Courtney Pine), the vibrant guitars of Tony Remy (Dave Lee/The Sunburst Band/Incognito/Omar), Mark Jaimes (Simply Red) and Gianni Chiarello, and percussion from Joe "Bongo" Becket.
