One of Canada's most gifted musicians and arrangers, the man behind the 88s, Bill King, is the musical brainchild of Saturday Nite Fish Fry. Bill pulled together some of the finest jazz musicians in town molding them into one hell of a band getting right down to the playing traditional R&B and Soulful material that sounds like it was recorded right out of the 40s, 50s and the early 60s.
Check out this incredible line up; Neil Chapman, guitar; William Sperandi, trumpet; John Johnson, alto sax; Bob Brough, tenor sax; Chris Gale, baritone sax; Scott Alexander, upright bass; David Direnzo, drums; Bill King, vocals and keys and one of the most inspirational singers I've ever heard, Shakura S'Aida. With a feeling for the past and a love for the music, they really know how to roll. It's time for this freight train to get onto the tracks.(Eddy B)
