Horace Panter’s Soul Grooves
Horace Panter’s Soul Grooves
Following his last sell-out gig in 2019 we are over he moon to bring this British bass icon back to JazzUp. Horace Panter needs no introduction as founder member and bassist of The Specials.
After many Top Ten singles and achievements too numerous to mention, The Specials influence on British music is immense, and their blend of ska and rocksteady with punk’s energy and attitude is both the soundtrack of a generation, and a major force in contemporary music. Their new album ‘Encore’ was released in 2019 year and quickly went to No.1 in the UK Album Charts, followed by the highly acclaimed album, ‘Protest Songs’ in 2021.
As a bassist, Horace is a master of the rock-solid groove, and JazzUp gives him a chance to stretch out and lay it down on tunes by the likes of The Meters, George Benson and Booker T. Combine that with a blistering lineup of jazz soloists and you have a JazzUp not to be missed…
