Resolution 88 is a hard-hitting, Fender Rhodes driven raw funk quintet led by Tom O'Grady, playing original funk music in the vein of Herbie Hancock and more recent innovators such as Kaidi Tatham (Bugz In the Attic).

 

With critical acclaim, Resolution 88 have toured in the UK supporting the Blackbyrds (Donald Byrd’s famous protégés), Medeski, Martin & Wood, Nels Cline and Snarky Puppy.

 

Resolution 88 will be performing new material from their second album, Afterglow on Incognito's label Splash Blue and mastered by the legendary producer Bob Power.

 

Guesting on percussion for this event is Oli Savill, percussionist for Grammy + multi award winning band ‘Basement Jaxx’ since 2004. 

""Every track a winner!" - Echoes Music Magazine on 'Afterglow'

 

Wow. Soulful music, played with passion and incredible skill. This harkens to the best funk-jazz of the sixties and seventies and takes it to a new level. Think Headhunters for the new millennium."
Bob Power (The Roots, Erykah Badu, D'Angelo...)
New York 2013

"Resolution 88 ... this is an exciting young band from Cambridge who take their influence from the immensely important, barrier-breaking mid 70's funk jazzer Herbie Hancock & the Headhunters - they've come out of nowhere at the last minute! There's absolutely no-one around at all like these guys at the moment!"
Craig Charles (The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show)

"This band @thejazzmeet is frickin insane!!! I gotta get them @jazzrefreshed !!!!"
Adam 'Rockers' Moses (Jazz re:freshed)

"Resolution 88 have gone with the ... influence of mid-70's Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters and do it in the most heavyweight, sincere and unique way."  Snowboy (Blues & Soul Magazine)

"There are very few bands that produce real jazz funk with all the grittiness and flavour!"

Paul Miller (BBC South) on 'Afterglow'
