In the decades since we were all at Leeds College of Music together, the three of us have been fortunate enough to enjoy successful and varied careers in the music industry. A mixture of the old and the new, with the odd original thrown in, we have tried to create beautiful, mellow music infused with jazz, soul and pop.
Snake Davis: Alto, Tenor

We humbly offer these recordings with love and respect for the original artists. Birchy, Bryan, Gareth and Simon did an absolutely outstanding job on this album. Their commitment to this project and their intense hard work has been inspiring. It was very hard to narrow the choice down, there are just so many crackers out there. What is it that

We humbly offer these recordings with love and respect for the original artists. Birchy, Bryan, Gareth and Simon did an absolutely outstanding job on this album. Their commitment to this project and their intense hard work has been inspiring. It was very hard to narrow the choice down, there are just so many crackers out there. What is it that makes them classics, revered and remembered? It's such a subjective decision, and they are so very different from each other. Some go straight for your heartstrings, some grab you by the scruff of the neck, and some hit you in the stomach. We managed to get 22 solos in - some of our versions are very short, but we only slashed so we could cover more ground. All musicians learn from the great players who went before them, ad always have done. Each of these solos is a mini masterclass on some aspect of sax playing.
