PERFORMANCE & RECORDING:Storming sax from top exponent Pete, who benefits both from having the talent to compose a string of blistering numbers and the opportunity to call upon a crack team of supporting musicians...Riveting across all 16 tracks. Pete Thomas delivers an unabashed , R & B tinged love letter...this is meat and potatoes, served with a hot sauce.
Thomas plays an impressive growling saxophone that has a humourous, teasing air of menace. Pete Thomas, saxophonist sublime...Thomas's saxophone playing is something special. His first album gives only a brief idea of what he can do but jazz purists cannot sneer at him.You don't have to look constipated to take a good solo. Thomas is a demonic player, abrasive and articulate. Pete Thomas is indisputably an accomplished saxophone player and this is beautifully exemplified on the echoey, haunting It would be difficult to find a musician more unpretentious and unaffected than Pete Thomas. Pete Thomas's dirty sax rules... Someone ought to erect a monument to Pete Thomas for services to rock music. (Before you rave about **** check this guy out for yourself). Only when Pete Thomas arrives on stage to blow a few screaming choruses through a tenor which is large enough on him to scuff his shoes do you feel that a kindred spirit may be in the building. PRODUCTION:Producer Pete Thomas has done what the Chevaliers could not achieve on vinyl, inducing enough light and shade to create a vibrant and well balanced album.- P.F. (Time Out) The arrangements, all by the talented Pete Thomas, make the Giants' four man front line as full as a big band. Pete Thomas' razor sharp arranging gives the band a depth and power with its clever lifts. |
