‘A revelation!’ - Craig Charles BBC 6 Music
‘You want the definition of modern jazz-funk? Listen to this’ - Robbie Vincent

After catching a performance of the Newcastle based, musical powerhouse King Bee in 2022, Jo Wallace approached their manager and asked if they were looking for a label. As luck would have it, the planets aligned and the mighty Les Aitch said ‘yes’. A selection of unreleased tracks was sent to Jo, and, without hesitation, she picked the insanely catchy ‘Good to be back’, featuring the wonderful vocals of the very talented Mr Andre Espeut. The seven piece King Bee, established in 2011 by Dave Wilde and Chris Jelly, supply the authentic, original, hard driving jazz funk fusion sound, with a live three piece horn section, unstoppable bass grooves and the unique sound of Chris Jelly’s exquisite vibraphone playing in the mix. You can hear the outstanding musicianship shine on this magnificent BritFunk track.
