Influenced by greats such as Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorious, Marcus Miller and
Verdine White, the Mike Edmonds sound has been a long time in the making. Based
in East London, Mike picked up the bass aged 17 û around the time of the massive
Jazz Funk explosion of the late 70s, an obvious inspiration for the tracks on
this single. Having laid licks on many tracks as a session musician and working
the London circuit for many years, his sound has defined itself uniquely û with
a foot in both jazz and disco, and always aimed squarely at the dancefloor.
ôBack To The Timeö features the vocals of long-time friend and collaborator
Simon Clyne, another Eastender and sometime vocalist with The Brand New Heavies,
and is a tribute to the scene that both were influenced and engulfed by in their
formative years. Also featuring the talents of Laurie Lowe on drums and the
unique tenor sax of Alex Garnet, itÆs a modern classic in the making. On the
flip is another musical tribute û this time to the great drummer and band leader
ôNorman Connorsö, another pioneer of the Jazz, Funk and Disco sound.
