About the Artist

"It’s the sound of the future - The Rik Wight Group sound of the future!

When you hear The Rik Wight Group, you'll hear simple straightforward rock 'n' roll played with big band drive. And you’ll be treated to some inspired improvisation colored with a healthy handful of what can only be described as "oriental" chords and spice.

An impressive feature of the group is it’s amazing versatility. Most of the influences in modern music have converged in its distinctive style. Listening to The Rik Wight Group you'll hear echoes of early rock 'n' roll songs which mysteriously and effortlessly blend with a complex "chain-gang" rhythm, leading to driving, pulsating climaxes.

Certainly one of The Rik Wight Group's most gratifying gifts is their ability to improvise, a rare talent shared only by other superb musicians. They create a kind of excitement that comes only from inspiration: they surprise, confound, amuse, arouse and do it all with verve and originality.

In these their last studio recordings, The Rik Wight Group displays the style which has made them one of the top performing groups in the area. The impression they create is consistently strong, whether they are sentimental ("Special Love," for instance) or lusty and full blooded ("Face It" and "L.A. Jam"). Whatever they’re playing, The Rik Wight Group performs it with passion, intensity and drive."
