smortbot great album. it's a fun, funky ride, and im here for all of it. Favorite track: When The Gorilla Get Grip.

Mr Goodbrother This guy's incredible! The entire album was recorded in his London flat, with Mr Dudley playing almost every instrument. But most importantly this is fantastic feel-good instrumental funk with a lovely edge of jazz.

The Gene Dudley Group represents an outpouring of deep soul and funk music from obscenely talented 27 year-old multi-instrumentalist, Gene Dudley.
The debut album, "Saturday Shifting", was recorded in a cupboard in Muswell Hill, North London, and features the man himself on trumpet, saxophone, drums, bass, guitar and piano. On a couple of occasions, though, Gene had to budge over to allow fellow musicians Ewan Whyte and Tom Jackson to fit in a play a solo or two, but other than that, everything you hear on this album comes from the mind, mouth, fingers and heart of Mr. Gene Dudley Esq.

Fans of labels like Truth & Soul and Daptone will relish these sonorous soulful offerings, but the influences on this album are wide ranging. Tracks like "When The Gorilla Get Grip' and "The New Lots Of Cooperstown" conjure up 60's spy soundtracks, but elsewhere there are afro-beat influences on "The Hilo Bay Halfway" and more easy, introspective moments on "Minnie" and "Do The Stanley Weinberger".

Just when you think you've got Gene Dudley's sound pinned down, the album culminates with a real game changer in the shaped of the brilliantly titled "Waxing Unwaxed Lemons", a quirky, electronic tinged nugget that should please many a dance floor.

Only recently discovered this and am asking myself why I had never heard of Yussef Dayes in particular... live this whole album. Such musicianship and a fresh/modern take on classic jazz forms. Massive respect to the musicians Pilot Fish

Interpreters as well as innovators, this is not your typical brass band. There's some great sounding jazz with a whole lotta lung power! If you love horn players like I do, this is the album to have. Music you can groove to, making your spirit jump for joy. Looking forward to playing this LOUD on my stereo to experience the full throttle effect. Rob O.
