Luckily for Down To The Bone, although there are literally thousands of bands out there trying to do the exact same thing, it's rare that anyone else accomplishes such a successful fusion of jazz and soul groove as FROM MANHATTAN TO STATEN. On tracks like "Brooklyn Heights" and "Carlito's Way," the band combine soulful grooves and light breakbeats to make music as organic sounding as a live jam session, but with an accomplished silky smoothness.
