NEW ALBUM RECORD FLIGHT
15 September 10
"an effervescent collection of Latin favourites and original compositions in the Cuban tradition with plenty of jazz content from excellent players" JAZZ UK
"This exciting new project..specialises in sophisticated Jazz Salsa.. Cool, cultured and exhilarating... The start of something very special" THE MUSICIAN Album Review Sep 2010 http://www.headssouth.com/media/review.jpg
“The compositions and keyboard playing of leader John Harriman and the trumpet of Steve Waterman combine to create a spare, crisp, invigorating set of Latin jazz.. Waterman’s mastery of this idiom, spiced with just the right touch of bravura, suits Harriman’s deceptively simple melodies to perfection” THE OBSERVER Album Review Sep 26 2010
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/sep/26/heads-south-record-flight-review
“seriously on-target musicianship. It takes top-drawer talent to pull off the percolating rhythms..as well as craft original Latin jazz songs that distinguish themselves...the haunted Juntito is a powerhouse ballad...It is downright gorgeous. Similarly, the band’s sublime rendition of the tango “Milonga del Angel” is profoundly moving..” ALL ABOUT JAZZ Review Nov 17 2010
http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=38022
"whatever precise musical category they're operating in, the quintet infuse everything they play with appropriate pep and vigour, Waterman in particular firing off a series of blazingly bright, pin-sharp solos over Morgan and Birch's taut but supple rhythm-section work. Harriman himself performs on electric and acoustic piano with equal facility, and his compositions are bright, breezy and accessible; Record Flight is an enjoyable calling card for a refreshingly unpretentious but musicianly band"
CHRIS PARKER VORTEX JAZZ CLUB CD Review Nov 2010
http://www.vortexjazz.co.uk/cd-reviews/record-flight.html
US music magazine Cadence April 2011 edition : "..the band plays with spirit and vigor. Waterman's trumpet is strong and lyrical. Harriman's piano percolates behind him while the rhythm section lays down a solid Latin beat. Perhaps the band's most original stroke is an arrangement of Astor Piazzolla's Milonga del Angel where the tango element is deemphasised and a more salsafied element is to the fore (especially in the piano figure).."
Heads South is a favorite of Rod Stewart's !
16 July 10
Yes its true. In May we were asked by AEG the owner of the O2 to play for Rod's exclusive after-show party there for his A-list guests following his concert. And so we did. And that went so well that in July another call came through: 'Rod wants you back' , again at the O2 to play after his show, but sadly some of us were on the beach so we couldn't...
