Back in November, we told you that Harry Waters, son of Roger, had been busy working away on his own material. The first album release from the Harry Waters Band is now available to buy, and is a cracking alternative to the music that you might normally listen to.

Enlisting, amongst others, the likes of Ian Ritchie on tenor sax, Chester Kamen on acoustic guitar, and the excellent Yaron Stavi on double bass (Yaron forms part of Phil Manzanera's current band for the Firebird V11 project), the album's style and infectious jazz-centred tunes might take you by surprise!

A very enjoyable album, it can be ordered now through the following links: Amazon UK, Amazon.com, Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France. Harry's own website, www.HarryWaters.co.uk, includes some audio samples to give you a taster.

For those who can be in London in just over a week's time, you can catch the Harry Waters Band live at the Bulls Head Jazz Club in Barnes. They will be appearing there on June 21st, starting at 8pm, and will be playing two one-hour sets - ostensibly to launch the album properly, so attendees will be hearing a number of tunes from it as the evening unfolds.
