dont say crap!! really dont know but developing my own sound, and obviously influenced by many of the above!
an offshoot of a band i am also involved with "the bassetts", i wanted to branch out and explore more of a jazz funk/soul/blues feel! i have a few ideas, and am open to advice/criticism etc as this is my first hit at this kind of stuff! i want to build this up as at the mo, and my other band is very raw and rocky, again all original,but with all our other personal commitments, it was hard to get everyone together at once!the guys are involved and this frees people up to "play when they can"! we have loads of ideas as a collective so listen out!! i am interested in hooking up with like minded people who just love to play music who are not in it for the money!this is for the "feel of it and can go anywhere" music! i have a go at alto and tenor saxes, and played for about 5 years now, and if nothing else hope this may lead to hooking up with some others for jams etc in my area of poole dorset! look forward to meeting like minded!

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
