Mr.Gone

About Me

Studio project, produced by bass player Simon T Bramley, plus live 9 piece band featuring musicians from Afro Elements. Basically the sound is unashamedly rooted in Jazz Funk although there's the obvious influences from today's club sounds. Live, it's more EW&F than Jazzanova, so come to a show & you'll see what I mean!
