Fresh from finishing my first album as the Quiet Boys, I was producing Galliano’s debut album for Talking Loud. We were cutting some tracks with vibes maestro Roy Ayers and Gilles had bought Paul Weller along to the session. We needed some ultra cool Rhodes paint for the album and Paul suggested getting Mick in. A few days later Mick turned up and set about ripping up the studio with his super-funkiness. He was so great we pulled the release of the Quiet Boys album to recut a few of the tracks with Mick playing Fender Rhodes and Clavinet. Much Nicer !!
A few months later Chris phoned Mick and said “Hey ! Let’s make an album “ So they did and this is the fruits of their labours.
Reviews
“An outstanding collection of instrumental jazz-dancers, A collection of groovy floaters with big hairy balls” Blues and Soul
“A 5 star set from an ultra reliable label” GQ
“A ten tracker of the highest quality dance floor jazz “ Mojo
After the global success of the first Yada Yada album “Subculture” with licensed releases in USA, Japan, Germany, Italy and the UK, Mick and I reconvened to write and record a new album. We locked ourselves away in my studio for 15 days straight and by the end we had come out with an album, mixed there and then. Just about the quickest and easiest project I’d ever been involved with.
