TM JUKE & THE JACK BAKER TRIO



Big hello to all of you that came down to check the TM Juke & The Jack Baker Trio band at the Big Chill & Loop festival this month.... Both shows were real crackers! We are just in the process of editing the footage.. So there will be some clips on the web soon... For the time being check some of the pics HERE! Our album "Boto & The Second Liners" will be out on Tru Thoughts records this September the 8th.

RECORDING WITH THE PARK



So i was recently in San Francisco and had the opportunity to record with The Park (Nino Moschella / Darondo) rhythm section. We were also lucky enough to get two days at the superb Broken Radio studios (big thanks to Rob Cross). I'm just editing through the 10 hours of music I came home with so expect to hear tracks from that session in the near future. Also check some of the pics from that session taken by "Seher Sikander" HERE!

Hello and happy new year to all readers! ..So loads of news!





NYE & Where's It At?
So big thanks to everyone that came down to the Me&You New Years Eve party in Brighton.

The first party will be held on February the 7th, dust those shoes off!

And more Me&You news; In a poll of 3,000 people "Floating Heavy" was chosen as one of the 20 favourite pieces of vinyl album artwork of 2007. The competition was run by Art Vinyl, their gallery is in Broadway Market in East London… There was even a sneaky picture of the elephant on the front cover of independent newspaper on the 14th Jan.

TM Juke Vs The Jack Baker Trio
After touring together continuously for the last few years me and Jack Baker (the drummer for Alice Russell Live & Bonobo Live) decided in late 07 to create an album together of rhythm driven music, spanning Batucada, Go-go, Straight Funk, Wonky Funk, Samba and everything in-between. Its now in the final stages of development, we are recording the last few trumpet and tuba lines in the next few weeks for a release in mid 08. We have enlisted the help of some of London's finest percussionist, and without a drum sample in sight its all authentic deep deep grooves!.. Watch this space and my website: www.tmjuke.co.uk to hear snippets in the coming months!

New Releases:
Also keep your ears peeled for the release of my next 12" on the 10th March
