About Me

I'm Ray Carless and it-s a real pleasure for me to be able to interface with so many interesting and talented people out there in cyber-space. Please check me out because my purpose within this space is to meet you musically spiritually and hopefully socially. Please take your time to investigate this site while I continue to build this space to accurately portray my vibes & music. There is always a slim chance that you may like something here. "Ray Carless is one of the finest saxophone players on the contemporary UK scene, his style is very lyrical and his phrasing always on the one".Ray has followed in his father George's footsteps and become a much sought-after session player (dad played with the legendary Fela Kuti amongst others), we could list a few of those he's played with but the review might get a bit overlong...Ray is currently touring Europe with 'SKA CUBANO', a Cuban Jamaican mix of Latin and Ska. This hot new blend that's cutting through the festival scene, try not to miss them.(www.skacubano.com) ""Anthony Jones is a Guyana-born multi-instrumentalist, one of those guys who can turn his hand to just about any instrument and make it sound like it's what he's best at. Here he plays drums, percussion, keyboards, guitar, he even takes lead vocal on 'Mr Melody', 'Daydreaming', 'No hard food', 'In the Caribbean' & 'Cool, cool life'.The album mixes vocal and instrumental tracks and features vocalists Dennis Alcapone (a hilarious update on the 'Elizabethan Reggae' theme), future star Delroy Pinnock, whose performance on the title track shows much promise, and backing vocals from Angela Scott-Walker.So sit back, get the shades on and, whether you're baking in Brixton or chilling in Kingston, enjoy the grooves from one of the finest pairings on the contemporary dance sceneI edited my profile at , Myspace Layouts!
