Michael Garrick - Down On Your Knees

Classic 1999 album from Michael Garrick and his band, featuring Anita Wardell (vocals), Martin Shaw, Steve Waterman (trumpet), Jim Tomlinson, Paul Booth (saxophone), Mark Nightingale (trombone) and others. Includes a sumptuous reworking of Garrick's iconic Dusk Fire, which originally appeared on the 1966 The Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintet LP of the same name.

This is the real thing - a living, breathing, hard swinging big band. - Alan Shipton, The Times

A clear case of quantity and quality in equal proportions. - Bruce Crowther, Jazz Journal

Amazingly adventurous: sense of swing is simply terrific. - Ken Rattenbury, Crescendo
