George Anderson bass player with the legendary 80's multi-award winning group Shakatak who's tune 'Nightbirds' was a global phenomenon, finally releases the follow up to his first solo-album 'Positivity' with the fantastic ‘Expressions’. Having composed, produced and engineered the entirety of his first album, George has come back prepared to amaze fans once again with his truly unique style of modern jazz-funk.

George was instrumental in co-writing many of Shakatak's repertoire past and present most famously 'Day by Day' featuring grammy award winner Al Jarraeu. George was also responsible for co-writing the song 'Perfect Smile' which was a smooth-jazz radio play hit in the US for Shakatak in the 90's. The Jill Saward (Shakatak's lead singer) album 'Just for you' with the brilliant Jason Rebello on piano/keyboards was also co-written and produced by George. George has now written and produced two solo albums 'Positivity' and his latest 'Expressions'. It boasts the radio play hit 'Back In The Day' which achieved critical acclaim . The song 'Lay Ur Hands On Me' from 'Positivity' is a former Jazz FM record of the week.

George has been touring with his GA BAND in the UK in 2014 where the shows have been gaining critical acclaim culminating in Dec 2014 with a tour of Cape Town South Africa where he played the GrandWest auditorium to 2,000 people where the GA band stormed it . In 2015 there are plans to put out a live CD of the show . This is just the beginning… Watch out 2015 !!!

Tonight George and his band will be playing songs in the first set from both solo albums. In the second set, they will play music celebrating the music of George Duke who passed away in 2013 and playing other Jazz Funk gems. Augmented with an amazing band and the stunning vocals of Debby Bracknell and Geo Gabriel this guarantees an evening of superlative Jazz Funk and Soul not to be missed!
