A regular sideman on numerous Rattle releases, Ron Samsom's debut as band leader is a no-holds-barred, pumping homage to 70's jazz funk.
Ron Samsom's Ace Tone bristles with energy and attitude jazz, evident not only in the forward-leaning thrust of the performances and depth of generic understanding, rigour, and at times wit of the compositions, but also gritty, full-frontal muscularity of the recording.
