Dry, cutting drum’n’bass. A harsh sound. Brass with the flavour of Isaac Hayes' Shaft and arrangements that sound modern. The trombonist Tom Johnson comes full circle from funk to electronic dance rhythms, passing through 70s blaxploitation and, of course, soul-jazz. Music that ignites both your feet and your brain cells.

Fine Arrangements! Roswell Rudd, May 2008
An exceptional quintet on the Catalan scene... A great example of groove provided by powerful drummer, Ramon Rabinad… the tone artist Martí Serra, on tenor, leaves no-one in doubt as to his skill as an improvisor…Guim García shows high class on the alto... the word is: festivo.
Javier Aspiazu, Gara, 17/3/08
Shark, led by english trombonist Tom Johnson along with two saxes and a fat precise and syncopated rhythm section…meaty like a big band…things really got cooking with the drummer doing his Stewart Copeland thing, the pieces pulling in tight to an urban minimal and realighting with a free-style New Orleans aura.
