THE TRAVELLER

Once upon a time there was this band from Leeds who released that amazing tune blending afro vibes and funk but not in classic/usual/boring way...no... they made it in such a subtle way that the listener is actually travelling musically and visually across the continents (gosh that was deep!)

Enjoy the haggis Horns:



ps: to ruin completely the effect created above, the leader/saxophonist of the band (also for the anecdote married to Corrine Bailey-Rae) died accidentally because he'd mistaken some drugs for another...easy mistake to make you might say..but what a shame for the music galaxy..


MARK RONSON has paid tribute to CORINNE BAILEY RAE's late husband JASON RAE.
On his MySpace blog he calls sax player Jason, below: "An incredible dude."
Mark said: "Last Saturday, Jase Rae of THE HAGGIS HORNS passed away.
"It's such a sad, sad thing, I'm sorry that I can't really put anything into words.
"However, I will say that he was an incredible dude, a lovely gentle man, one of the funniest people ever, an obsessed early Nineties hip-hop super-enthusiast (he loved music more passionately and genuinely than anyone), and one of the most amazing sax players I've ever had the pleasure of playing with.
"If you've ever been to one of our gigs, you've witnessed it. He was an incredible dude, he always will be."
Jason was found dead from a suspected drugs overdose in Leeds.


R.I.P
ALL THIS HAPPENED YEARS AGO BUT I'M A TERRIBLE JOURNALIST.
