About This Release:

After breaking through with 45 â'œWaitinâ'' So Longâ' / â'œLay It On The Lineâ' released earlier in the year and lauded by the likes of Adrian Gibson (Freestyle Records), Dr. Bob Jones (Future Soul) and Dean Rudland (Acid Jazz / Kent / BGP), Newcastle hip cats NICK PRIDE AND THE PIMPTONES land at Record Kicks with an impressive debut album. Jazz guitarist Nick Pride formed The Pimptones in 2007, and after the release of a self-financed album and a highly acclaimed 7â' single on Wack Records, the band was picked up by Record Kicks. â'œMidnight Feast of Jazzâ' is therefore the first official full-length for this group, and includes 10 tracks of phat grooves, smooth arrangements and dance-floor friendly soul-jazz.

With this album Nick Pride & The Pimptones prove their growing maturity and attention to stylistic detail, providing an engaging listen from start to finish. In uptempo funk monster â'œCome And Get Itâ' The Pimptones immediately provide a clear demonstration of why they can be considered one of the finest horn sections in the UK, while â'œGold Leaderâ', â'œMidnight Feast Of Jazzâ' and â'œMia Sorellaâ' take us deeper into dance-floor jazz territory, highlighting the groupâ''s transition towards sleeker atmospheres. Stand-out vocal tracks â'œBrighter Day feat. Susan Hamiltonâ' and â'œLay It On The Line feat. Zoe Gilbyâ' both supply a dose of quality soul to the mix, making â'œMidnight Feast of Jazz" an essential album for the savvy soul-jazz dancer!
