Bio
Curfew are one of the most exciting and original jazz fusion ensembles in Europe. With a mixture of jazz, funk, rock, world and even classical, their music "is like a box of chocolates" philosophy means that you never know quite what will happen next! The current line-up of Martin Lawrie (keyboards), Steve Marshall (bass and flute), David Bouet (drums) and Nick Andrew (guitar) has been together for several years now, but the band's origins go back to the late '80's . Throughout the band has been commited to delivering a potent cocktail of exciting, original, melodic, energetic, rhythmic, progressive contemporary jazz. .. REVIEWS: 'Making the much-travelled road of jazz fusion sound fresh and interesting is just about as difficult a job as there is in music, but Curfew have succeeded hands down' (Adrian Creek, Surrey Advertiser).. 'Jazz-rock with a Weather Report sound' (Jack Massarik, Evening Standard).. 'Should clean up on the London jazz scene' (Line Out magazine) .. ..Curfew do the impossible and perform Nick's "Flight of the Bumble Blues" without oxygen or a safety net! It was recorded by Julian Seary at a Concert/masterclass at West Herts College in April... .. .. .. .. .. .. Dance of the 3 famous Belgians (From Hold the Front Page) live at the Electric Theatre in Guildford... .. .. .. .. .... .. Steppin out (from Curfews Hold the Front Page cd) at the Marbrough Jazz fest 03 with Paul Francis depping for Steve Marshall who was on tour at the time... .. .. .. .. ..
