Nominated for the
Mercury music prize
EDGAR 'JONES‘ JONES -'Soothing Music
for Stray Cats’
RELEASE DATE - May 2005
The legendary
Edgar Jones ( Formerly known as Edgar Summertyme ) returns
with one of his best recordings of his career. ' Soothing Music
for Stray Cats ' is a innovative witches brew of Jazz, R 'n'
B, Soul, Doo Wop and mixed with Edgars' own special ingredients
to creat something quite unique.
Since the demise of Edgars first band ' The Stairs ' who's single ' Weed Bus
' and the following album ' Mexican R 'n' B ', went on to become the classics
they deserved to be, he has worked with the best : Paul Weller, Johnny Marr,
St Etienne and the lost La, Lee Mavers, as well as forming 'The Big Kids' who
featured two of the future Zutons and Howie Payne of The Stands.
Both The Stairs and The Big Kids have been influencial on the current music scene
and ' Soothing Music for Stray Cats ' will continue to set the standard once
again.
