“Theres much to enjoy here with bristling horn lines, jazzy chord sequences aplenty and some tasty solos, what's not to like?” Jazzwise Magazine

Excellent… exquisite.… offers a rich mix of musical genres including, big band jazz, jazz-funk, jazz-fusion, soul and electronica, bringing to mind the horn section from Earth, Wind & Fire….a terrific showcase for the rich talents of the musicians in the East Midlands jazz scene. This is a hearty, highly satisfying musical offering, and in the immortal words of Oliver Twist, ‘Please sir, can we have some more? “Jazz Views

‘Meaty grooves, stocked liberally with some top drawer trombone flavoured interpolations’ - Marlbank

“The nine tracks from Paterson and his crew serve up mouthwatering grooves alongside melodies that will force listeners to ask for more. This release solidifies Simon Paterson’s reputation as a visionary, paving the way for Electric Gumbo’s global ascent. Catch them live in 2025 as they unleash a musical storm that’ll leave you craving more” Frank Bell, Fame Magazine

“The band delivers contagious grooves, inventive electronic textures and fine solos with a well-crafted approach that buzzes with the kind of energy that could make you wish you were seeing them live. Paterson's melodic writing and taut arrangements still leave plenty of space for improvisation. With his ingredients of jazz, funk, electronics and soul, his stew is a welcome addition to the menu”. Neil Duggan, All About Jazz
