"Casey's Eyes" ... Diplomacy  (April 2006)

London based Diplomacy’s eclectic mix of original jazz, soul and blues, with elements of funk, afro-jazz, afro-cuban, rhythm’n’blues and rock’n’roll thrown in, defies categorisation. Bob, Deborah, Jules, Mike, Simon and Yolande met in 2004 while studying for the Diploma in Jazz and Popular Music at Goldsmiths College run by Roger Cawkwell.

They enjoyed making music together so much that they were compelled to form the band. The like-minded rhythm section of Andre and Mick were recruited to complete the picture. It is the wide diversity of backgrounds and musical tastes (from George Jones to John Coltrane), combined with excellent musicianship, that makes Diplomacy so special. With composing and arranging duties shared across the original six members, the only rule is ‘if we enjoy playing it, the audience will enjoy listening to it.’ 

We recorded the band's first EP in one 8-hr live session (followed by a 4 hr session to re-record one lead break and all the post-production.)  More band  details on the website.
