Ian Crabtree

Thanks for checking out my page. I'm based in Leicester and I'm a professional musician and songwriter. Playing guitar and bass I have worked live and in the studio for artists such as Errol Brown (with producer Ben 'Jammin' Robbins), Eddie Henderson, Reuben Wilson, Sally Barker, Mr. Gone, Full Intention, Afro Elements, Alan Randall, Sugar And Silk, Jane Hamilton, Ellis, Sueno Soul, Richard Elliot, David Benoit. Much of my recording work has been with Jazz Funk outfit Down To The Bone who I have played with now for 10 years. Through DTTB I have been very privileged to have played on tracks with Roy Ayers, Reuben Wilson, Tony Remy, Julian Crampton, Neil Cowley, Shilts, Brian Auger, Flora Purim, Hil St. Soul, Neil Angilley and I have also co-written tracks on the new album 'Supercharged' (Narada/Blue Note). A few years ago I was part of Afro Elements, and they have just released their excellent new album 'It Remains To Be Seen' (Freestyle/Swanky). I got featured with the great players of Afro plus Jeff Lorber, which was mega! I have also co-written on releases by Mr.Gone (Internal Bass), Sugar And Silk (Passion Jazz) and Alex and Dom (Greyhound). This year 2008 I have been working on the new DTTB album, which will hopefully be out next year. Check out my pics to see what I've played on. Writing in most styles I hope to connect more of my songs to artists or publishers looking for material and artists/producers needing guitar or bass work. Thanks again for stopping by, more songs can be heard at www.broadjam.com/iancrabtree ! a href="http
