Protect The Beat

Featuring five of the finest Jazz Funk experts you are likely to find, the band has been described in the music press as the strongest live act within the genre in the UK at this time.

If you loved the sax/guitar jazz funk band Morrisey Mullen, danced to the Average White Band, got on down to the Brecker Brothers, or were transfixed by the Yellowjackets – then, taking all those influences and creating their own unique instrumental jazz/funk/fusion, Protect the Beat will blow you away!

With numerous festival appearances over the years, including Brecon, Marlborough, Mumbles, Pontypool and The Capitol Jazz Festival (USA), PTB has certainly left an impression with their inimitable brand of high energy Jazz/Funk. To quote the title of their debut album, "It ain't Dinner Jazz". PTB's latest CD 'Intrepid' was picked up favourably by digital radio station 'The Jazz' and, as the result of committed airplay, the album went to number 1 in an independent UK Jazz Chart. 'Intrepid' remained at the number 1 spot for 11 weeks.
