Extreme Measures

About Me

"Led by Barbados-born drummer David Carnegie, this recently formed outfit has quickly established itself as the most dynamic group to emerge from the North East in years." (Jazz North East 2006) Their repertoire of exclusively original material is reminiscent of 60s modal jazz but the use of contemporary grooves (hip-hop, neo-soul, drum 'n' bass etc.) and a contemporary vocabulary, has "...attracted a new young audience alongside hardened jazz fans...".(JNE) David likes to describe this take on the jazz tradition as 'lyrical jazz'. "It's something that's sincere and emotive but you can still nod your head to it."
